From Concept to Image: Fashion Image and Communication Students Meet Rankin
Fashion Image and Communication students from Istituto Marangoni London visited the studio of internationally acclaimed photographer, publisher and director Rankin, in collaboration with HUNGER Magazine. The exclusive industry session gave students the opportunity to present their creative ideas in a professional studio environment and gain first-hand insight into the realities of the creative industry.
The session invited students to share their concepts and visual approaches directly with Rankin. Their objective was to explore how creative ideas can be developed, communicated and translated into compelling visual outcomes.
Through discussion and constructive feedback, students gained valuable perspectives on their work and the decisions behind the image-making process.

During the visit, students experienced the dynamics of an active creative studio, engaging in conversations around concept development, visual thinking and the journey from initial idea to final image.
The session encouraged them to reflect on their creative choices, consider new perspectives and understand the importance of experimentation within professional practice.
