WELCOME TO ITALY

Milano

Studying fashion at Istituto Marangoni Milano is an immersive journey through the heritage of Istituto Marangoni’s very first school, surrounded by Italian contemporary fashion and ready-to-wear.

Students at IM 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.

Milan is also synonymous with design, and no wonder. It unites a rich history with a continued vital role in the global design landscape that is always respectful of the past but has an eye towards the future. This unique approach to research and experimentation is also reflected in the Milano Design School, where participants will be challenged with projects from artisanal furniture to high-end inspirational design for interiors, products, and visual graphics. All courses at Istituto Marangoni Milano Design School are underpinned by a contemporary aesthetic approach, and a heavy dose of fashion cross-pollination, thanks to the luxury and fashion found around every corner. This design culture is closely linked with the city’s design district and the community of creative designers who are drawn to study, work and live in this fertile environment, leading to an exclusive mix of cutting-edge design paired with new technologies, and an eye for commerce that successfully combines theory with practice.

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.
