Firenze The School of Fashion & Art
The place where you can find fashion, art and tradition
Known around the world for its art, Firenze needs no introduction, nevertheless under its exquisite façade the city also has another story to tell. Art, craftsmanship and made in Italy excellence are not concepts frozen in time, they evolve and grow, and in no place is that more evident than the Firenze School of Fashion and Art, where participants not only learn about the creation, practice, curation and promotion of art, and of fashion, but also the new languages in multimedia and artistic visual communication, exploring new cross-pollination in the fields of digital arts, media and new technologies. At the same time, participants will learn how to make the most of the wealth of materials and textiles this city has to offer, enhancing them with new concepts of craftsmanship and as inspiration in fashion design. Whether art & culture directly influence the design of luxury accessories and jewellery, provide the exclusive setting for fashion shows that debut the most talked about collections, or promote Italian sartorial tradition or innovation in Menswear, Istituto Marangoni Firenze School speaks to a truly contemporary audience.

Depending on their chosen level of study, participants work on projects such as an in-depth analysis of clothing or accessories manufacturing, or the language of couture construction versus ready to wear. They progress through various stages of the design process from fashion illustration, pattern making, pattern cutting, construction or prototyping, right through to the finished garment or product.
