Founded in 1830 by a syndicate of artisan tailors, the AICP has been training specialists in menswear and womenswear (custom-made and industrial clothing manufacturers) using its own geometric construction methodology in patternmaking(Vauclair-Darroux formula) for 180 years.

This exclusive one-of-a-kind formula was originally developed in association with tailors and dressmakers to perfect the art of garment construction and assembly. The Vauclair-Darroux formula was later adapted to meet the needs of the international ever-changing ready-to-wear textile and apparel industries'.

This highly specialised mathematical formula resolves all garment construction difficulties and challenges. In collaboration with state-of-the-art construction techniques and technologies(in grading, alterations and transformations), the Vauclair-Darroux formula will provide greater efficiency, speed and precision.
