Fashion Design

The MA trains professional figures to manage creative processes in the field of fashion design, from research to prototyping. Its innovative and sustainable workshops as well as the cultural contents allow the students to understand those elements of the fashion language that relate to the creation of apparel collections. Our lecturers, all industry professionals, guide the students in the search for their own vision that will be expressed in a very personal portfolio.

Over the MA, students will have the opportunity to:

• Evaluate the fashion phenomenon as an articulated visual language, with self-awareness in terms of skills and style, interpreting and translating ideas into high-quality projects
• Use complex methodologies to show the ability to create articulate solutions for manifold projects, starting from research and analysis, to the design process and its representation and communication
• Professionally carry out and manage all the production phases, while showing acquaintance with a wide number of applications, knowledge and skills
