The GENEVA high school of art and design, HEAD is a school of excellence in visual arts, as in design, at European level. Born in 2006 from the reunion of the higher school of fine arts with the high school of applied arts.

  HEAD : «The school proposes a wide choice of high level disciplines in two broad fields of equal importance: Visual arts/cinema and Design. Practical projects, courses and seminaries, ordered work in close collaboration with art, cinema and design professionals, workshops moderated by guest international designers, artists. Diverse aesthetic practices, based on research and experimentation, and the employment of significant technical, traditional or innovative techniques, are combined with theoretical teaching whose aim is as much the acquisition of knowledge as the practice of plural intellectual thinking. Know-how and knowledge are the two pillars of an educa-tional approach which rejects all dogmatism in favour of a critical understanding of the contemporary world. In touch with today’s cultural, social and professional environment, the teaching provided at Head – Geneva promotes a close dialogue between lecturers and students, considered as the prime movers of their creative path»  

The design/fashion annual fashion show, which has become one of the great events in Geneva,

Took place before 2400 spectators. (Two appearances with 1200 persons each time). The director of Head, Jean-Pierre Greff explained us the organization of the fashion show. It is structured in two parts. First, the first year students present their creation in the form of workshops, then, the graduates make walk the models with their personal designs; about thirty creations. Backstage, there is the indispensable partner of these events, the hairdresser! Fred Renda from the FR coiffure- Genève salon has mobilized his teams to perfect the hair/design harmony. The capillary creations are realized from the specifications of the artistic director of the school. These budding creators can usually work for big fashion houses like Dior, Chanel, Vuitton… or decide to create their own brand. We wish them a lot of success on the way of creativity.   Liloo Sevan pour LiveCoiffure   HAUTE ÉCOLE D’ART ET DE DESIGN - GENÈVE Boulevard James-Fazy 15 CH 1201 Genève http://head.hesge.ch
