Matteo Procaccioli Della Valle on Istituto Marangoni: "Every profession, every career, is built upon a fundamental component: education. Istituto Marangoni has consistently provided strong foundations on which to develop one’s path in the world of fashion. As this is an extremely competitive industry, you often feel as though you are constantly being tested—especially in a profession like mine, where results are what truly matter and are visible to everyone. Challenges are part of the everyday.
Looking at the past, reinterpreting codes and aesthetics, and then transforming them into new inspirations is, I believe, an excellent way to develop one’s identity and take on future challenges.”
