STUDYING AT LACOSTE
SCAD Lacoste is a residential study-abroad location in France, offering immersion in the history and culture of Provence. Course offerings each quarter are varied to apply to all SCAD areas of study and are taught by SCAD professors. Lacoste is a beautifully preserved medieval village and historic destination for artists, known for its extraordinary light and exquisite pastoral setting. College buildings date from the ninth to the 19th centuries while featuring cutting-edge contemporary amenities. Resources include a library, a gallery, a dining hall and housing, as well
as teaching studios dedicated to painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography and digital imaging. Students interact with visiting artists, take field trips to museums and historic sites in the area, and have an opportunity to exhibit their work at a local vernissage. Celebrated artists and designers visit throughout the year. Notable guests have included actor
Jeremy Irons; artist and illustrator Ruben Toledo; actor and designer John Malkovich; designer Bibhu Mohapatra; interior designer and television host Genevieve Gorder; installation artist Hugo Dalton; design legend Ilse Crawford; Vogue contributing editor Lynn Yaeger; and CFDA Fashion Award-winning designers Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters of Creatures of the Wind.
including creations for illustrious venues and performance companies like the Comédie- Française, Opéra Garnier, American Ballet Theatre and The Metropolitan Opera. The exhibition also inaugurates the museum’s new space, once the Galerie Centre owned by designer Pierre Cardin, a longtime Lacoste resident and cultural ambassador for the region. Cardin enjoyed a treasured friendship with SCAD, and for more than two decades, he embraced the role of mentor, engaging with hundreds of
SCAD students studying in Lacoste across the university’s degree programmes, from fashion to architecture.
In this spirit of shared dedication to the region, SCAD is committed to stewarding Cardin’s legacy and continuing to bestow inspiration to young artists and visitors in the museum’s new home. Christian Lacroix Habille Peer Gynt pour la Comédie-Française is at SCAD FASH Lacoste until November 1. For more information, visit
