Fabric arts and crafts have been granted Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) status by UNESCO for several years now. Traditional silk from Central Asia, loincloth weaving in Côte d'Ivoire and Palestinian embroidery are classified as ICH and bear witness to practices rooted in societies and eras, and whose leg continues to be perpetuated in an ever-changing world.

The associations Adet, Chinalco and Inalco students present a fashion show celebrating the diversity of traditional dress, reflecting the cultures and heritages of the cultural areas studied at Inalco.
