LaSalle College is a private college in downtown Montreal, founded in 1959, with a long-established fashion school that leads to a Diploma of College Studies (DEC) in Fashion Design.
About the school
LaSalle College was founded in 1959 by the businessman Jean-Paul Morin and moved to downtown Montreal in 1962. It is a private college offering pre-university and vocational programmes that lead to Quebec diplomas such as the DEC, AEC and DEP, and it is the original college of the LCI Education network. The campus is at 2000 Sainte-Catherine Street West.
Fashion
Fashion has been taught here since the 1960s. The college launched a Fashion Marketing programme in 1966, and in 1973 it founded its School of Fashion with a three-year Diploma of College Studies (DEC) in Fashion Design. Quebec’s education ministry recognises LaSalle as its specialised centre for fashion.
The Fashion Design DEC (571.A0) includes a footwear and accessory concentration developed with the ALDO Group. In 1995 LaSalle joined with the Université du Québec à Montréal to create the École supérieure de mode de Montréal, which allows students to earn a bachelor’s degree in fashion design and management.
