To achieve this goal, the programme is designed to offer a unique mix of visual fashion studies and technical skills.
AD-HOC TRAINING ON IMAGE AND COMMUNICATION FOR FASHION
Students on this degree course in Paris are introduced to the visual world of fashion through preliminary studies of fashion aesthetics and media, together with the practice of creative technical skills using the physical facilities (styling lab, wardrobe, photo studio, outdoor film locations) and digital environments (full Adobe suite, 3D, metaverse) offered by the school.
After consolidating the basic principles, from the first year students are involved in progressively more challenging projects (styling, photography, filmmaking, production, art direction, 3D image, graphic design, social media, advertising, visual merchandising, PR and promotion).
The comprehensive offering on visual communication in the fashion world makes the Paris degree programme in Fashion Styling a unique study programme that offers advanced know-how in image creation for fashion, and this uniqueness is reflected in the high employability of the newly graduated students who join the visual departments of major brands and fashion houses, also thanks to the large luxury job market offered by Paris.

Istituto Marangoni Paris also stimulates current students thanks to exclusive mentorships and masterclasses that help students develop concrete projects.
