Profil d'enseignement Master Accessoires 2025—2026
Accessories (Master’s program only)
La Cambre’s Master’s in Accessories is an advanced artistic programme that views the accessory as a creative domain, at the crossroads of fashion, design, craftsmanship and art. The programme explores leather goods, contemporary jewellery, headwear, footwear and, more broadly, wearable objects, examining their uses, forms, materials and production methods.
The Master’s programme emphasises an approach based on research, experimentation and project development. It encourages students to view the accessory not merely as a complement to clothing, but as an object in its own right, embodying a function, a purpose, an imagination and an identity. Projects are developed through observation, documentary and visual research, experimentation with forms and materials, trials and prototypes.
Throughout this process, each student is supported in developing a personal style and a coherent creative vision. Technical skills are developed to serve the project and its aims, in dialogue with drawing, graphic design, photography, 3D modelling and other creative fields. This approach enables students to combine technical mastery, formal research and critical reflection, whilst opening up the project to contemporary issues relating to uses, materials, production methods and changes within the sector.
From the second four-month term of the first year onwards, each personal project is gradually developed through to the second year, culminating in the creation of a collection of accessories. This collection represents the culmination of a process of research, experimentation and development, bringing together concepts, prototypes, materials, techniques and finished pieces. The collection is conceived as a coherent whole, revealing a distinct artistic stance and identity.
The Master’s programme thus combines artistic rigour, experimentation, technical mastery and critical reflection, whilst exposing students’ projects to contemporary professional practices. It trains designers capable of developing a personal approach and of viewing the accessory as a genuine field of creation, research and innovation.
