Studying fashion in Milan is an immersive journey enhanced by the heritage of the first Istituto Marangoni school, surrounded by contemporary Italian fashion and ready-to-wear. Students will explore the ‘Made-in-Italy’ culture and the latest fashion trends, inspired by experimental design and research and combining handmade luxury and attention to detail with striking effects.
Leveraging long-standing expertise and a creative, forward-thinking attitude towards both design and business, the city and the school have gained a privileged position in the global fashion arena. Students at Istituto Marangoni Milano have the opportunity to take part in special educational projects developed with leading fashion companies, an invaluable experience that will help them progress into the next phase of their fashion journey.
Istituto Marangoni provides a diverse range of inspiring programmes covering Fashion Design, Fashion Styling and Fashion Business for students to succeed and thrive in a first-rate educational environment.
With an approach blending function and aesthetics, participants incorporate fashion trends with bicultural aesthetics, analyse clothing and accessory manufacturing and the couture language versus ready-to-wear. Learners progress through the entire design process from fashion illustration, pattern making, pattern cutting, construction and prototyping to the finished garment or product.
Combining a wide array of essential business skills and knowledge with the latest industry developments and issues, Fashion Business courses are fine-tuned and specific to the evolving fashion system. Learners develop business acumen, covering luxury brand management, buying, merchandising and marketing, phygital retail, algorithms defining style, and sustainability, among others.
Fashion Styling courses explore the concepts behind image making, helping students express a story or mood through style and triggering innovative ideas. Learners develop a style portfolio incorporating photography and a creative vision; they investigate trends such as AI, extended intelligence, and digital communication alongside photo shoot planning, photo-editing and multimedia videomaking.
