ISTITUTO MARANGONI 90TH ANNIVERSARY
Nine decades shaping the future of creative education
Founded in Milan in 1935, the Group has evolved into a global network of schools and emerging talents, serving as a driving force of innovation and style worldwide. This anniversary is more than a celebration: it is a renewed expression of Istituto Marangoni’s core mission: to guide and develop tomorrow’s creative talents and decision-makers. Where heritage meets innovation, Istituto Marangoni continues to redefine education for a new era.
What better way to mark such a special milestone than with a dedicated claim?
That’s exactly what inspired the collaboration with renowned digital artist Pietro Terzini, leading to the creation of "Creative State of Mind.": a vivid representation of the Group’s mission: blending creative innovation with real-world expertise.
Terzini infused the project with his distinctive vision. Here’s how it came to life.
Discover Leonardo da Vinci. Pioneer of Fashion and Style, a groundbreaking research by Istituto Marangoni that redefines the Renaissance genius as a true innovator of fashion, beauty and luxury design. Published by Marsilio, the book unveils Leonardo’s lesser-known role in shaping Italian style, bridging art, science and craftsmanship to inspire today’s creative generation.
Istituto Marangoni has launched a series of initiatives to honor its 90-year legacy.

Guided by Francesco Fioretto and Alessandro Castiglioni, the show blends fashion, art, literature, and education to trace the evolution of creativity without falling into nostalgia. From moodboards and student-designed garments to rarely-seen archival materials, FUTURES ARCHIVE is a vibrant, layered narrative that invites new generations to reinterpret the past—and co-create the future of fashion.
