Fashion Design & Accessories (Womenswear / Menswear)

With the Bachelor’s Degree Course in Fashion Design & Accessories, students receive all-round training in the creation and development of a collection. Students are required to spend a large part of their educational path in the research activity, in order to develop their own personal concept up to the final construction of a catwalk collection. This will enable participants to design and build a sophisticated and advanced project ready to be marketed.

The three-year bachelor’s degree course is designed to teach students to design and build an entire fashion show collection, also assessing its production costs with a strong focus on circularity and sustainability as the main drivers for the future development of the fashion system.

Students are encouraged to work in groups from the very first year, providing them with specific skills, including:

• The ideation and realization of collections with a strong creative component

• The creation of designs and illustrations of fashion products based on extensive research into iconography and shapes and volumes

• The use of modelling techniques to create new details and develop innovative shapes

• The creation of technical drawings and 3D illustrations for the professional presentation of clothing and accessories.

The Fashion Designer is one of the most in-demand and influential professions for the Fashion Industry. A Fashion Designer not only designs, but also influences trends and responds creatively to market needs. This is possible thanks to a series of skills acquired during the Bachelor’s Degree Course in Fashion Design & Accessories, including in-depth knowledge of the dynamics of the fashion system, technical skills in tailoring, cutting and pattern making, and digital skills through the use of Generative AI and pattern making software such as Clo3d. 

Milan is the international Capital of fashion and accessories where key players in Fashion and Luxury converge. It is a trend-setting City, thanks also to the strong presence of buyers in the area.

Students can experience the creative process through Luxury Companies and Showrooms: therefore, Milan represents an international centre of production and creativity which is constantly evolving, and which makes real the idea of marketability season after season.

The faculty at Istituto Marangoni includes not only prominent personalities from the academic world, but also experts in business strategy, communication, trend forecasting and fashion design due to their deep connection with the industry.

Among the lecturers of the degree course in Fashion Design are: Antonio Patruno Randolfi, Isabella Campagnol, Ceyda Catalkaya, Stefano Peloso, Silvia Intelisano, Alessandra Spessa, Giorgia Ponticelli, Loredana Pizzata, Gloria Bellardi, Gaia Borina, Valeria Cereda, Andrea Ciccolo, Elena Grappiolo, Antonio Neroni, Erika Nicklas, Giovanni Pacienza, Giulia Selva, Jonathan Scarpari, Marialuisa Rizzini, Cristian Boaro, Rita Venturati, Alberto Lovisetto, Cielo Lien, Marta Martina, Rebecca Scheutz, Riccardo Scaburri, Carlos Gago Rodriguez, Alessandro Castiglioni, Janet Sartor, Davide Petraroli.

By choosing this Bachelor’s Degree Course at Istituto Marangoni, students will have the opportunity to experiment and play with their creativity using digital technologies and software, including Clo3D, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign to learn how to develop the process from illustrations to fashion garments and digital textile prints.

Clo3D becomes a key element of product prototyping, and it is used right from the creation process, encouraging students to think in a sustainable way and with a view to reducing waste (as seams, overlays and manipulations can be worked on digitally).

The contamination between the world of art and the fashion industry leads the students of the bachelor’s degree courses at Istituto Marangoni Firenze to work and do research together, thus broadening their creative culture and cultural background through interdisciplinary projects, preparing them to face the world of work. 

Moreover, the presence of several textile and manufacturing centres in the Florentine industrial district is a key added value for students, as it allows them to develop greater knowledge in the research and experimentation with new materials and innovative fabrics, fully understanding the dynamics of the luxury industrial and manufacturing fabric.
