GLOBAL NETWORKING, KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE AND INNOVATION
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CLOTHING DESIGNERS AND EXECUTIVES

The IACDE, founded in 1910 by American and Italian Patternmakers, is today the premier organization in the Fashion Industry where seasoned industry professionals and executives, as well as young and upcoming talent, are united into a single organization. The goal of membership in the IACDE is to expand one’s professional network, and to exchange thoughts, ideas, and methods, to advance the industry as a whole.

Local chapters organize workshops, round tables, master classes, excursions, and factory visits on a bi-annual basis.

The IACDE is a non-profit organization – all members of the local Chapter Boards engage without any financial incentive, all just for the benefit of experienced professionals and young talents alike in the wider fashion industry and supply chain.
