Three-year Course in Fashion Design in London
Classes start 3 October 2011
Classes end 1 June 2012
Today's designers have evolved. They don't only create clothing, they also create lifestyles. To succeed in the fashion world, Fashion Designers need more than just an idea and a quick sketch on a sheet of paper. They need to think culturally too.
Who is the Fashion Designer
Fashion Designers are responsible for research and style. They inspire fashion trends, create collections for clothing, textiles and accessories, and manage creativity, technology, information and trends. Designers can create their own line or choose to work for companies as well as research, style and consulting studios. At Istituto Marangoni, we favour a multidisciplinary approach.
