The Fashion Design Programme provides participants with the techniques to design and create menswear or womenswear, while responding to changing needs in the international fashion and luxury industries. Fashion designers are the inspiration for creative ideas and new trends, not only in clothing, but also in fabric development.
They create collections based on an informed analysis of materials and fabrics in connection with art, design, creativity, and fashion. Starting with skills in sketching and drawing, this programme moves on to address key notions and techniques in fashion design and fabric and clothing manufacturing, as well as cultural studies in the history of dress, and the fashion system.
Working directly from their own illustrated ideas participants progress on to collection design and garment making; selecting the most appropriate materials, analysing fabrics, applying draping and pattern cutting techniques, and final garment construction. On successful completion of each level, participants gain a solid foundation in developing ideas through research, and are encouraged to apply critical thinking to their own design development.
The Fashion Design Programme is delivered two distinct certificate levels programmes, and participants can choose when to build on their experience by progressing from one level to another, giving them complete control on their own progress and achievement. On successful completion of each participants acquire a solid base in fashion design and garment construction to enable them to enter the industry, or to progress further in their studies to a higher level of comprehension and skill.
The programme is aimed at candidates who have the ambition to become professional fashion designers, or who are looking to enter the fashion design and creative industries.
Fashion Design 1 (24 weeks)
The first level certificate programme or ‘block’ starts with an overview of sketching and drawing techniques, pattern cutting basics, and the principles of art and dress in history. Participants then move on to acquiring and developing skills to design collections based on an informed analysis of body proportion, looking at the influences of art and culture on design, fabrics, garment construction and researching ideas.
Fashion Design 2 (24 weeks)
This second and final phase of the certificate level programme further progresses in collection design, where participants fully understand and apply their acquired expertise to their own designs and collection projects. They will work on a group project and create a collective collection, as in a real working fashion design environment. The project results in a joint fashion show collection and is part of a final individual fashion collection portfolio, that participants can present to eventual prospective employers.

History and Mission
Teaching Fashion, Teaching Art, Teaching Design
is it possible to teach fashion? Giulio Marangoni asked himself this question back in 1935: his fame with the Italian aristocracy had already been established, thanks to his fashion garments. To answer it, he founded the Istituto Artistico dell’Abbigliamento Marangoni, or the Marangoni Artistic Clothing Institute in Milano. It was a school for fashion designers and professionals.
In 85 years, Istituto Marangoni has never stopped believing in the value of training and constantly updated its programmes to meet both Italian and international market needs. In the past few years, Istituto Marangoni opened four new schools: London in 2003, Paris in 2006, Shanghai in 2013, and Milano Design in 2014. Istituto Marangoni recently opened the new School of Fashion, Art & Design in Firenze and in Shenzhen (2016), Mumbai (2017) and Miami (2018), the international capitals of fashion, design and luxury.
The teaching spaces of Istituto Marangoni have tested the talents of four generations of professionals, hailing from 106 different countries and representing the heritage of our school. Istituto Marangoni continues to successfully ‘teach fashion’, as its founder wished, with the addition of design, having many things in common with fashion: colour, materials and creativity.
With a wide range of preparatory, undergraduate and master’s courses, Istituto Marangoni has always had the goal of training professionals in key areas, such as design, communication and managerial coordination.
Its mission to empower talent in fashion, art and design is based on:
In addition to a variety of long and short courses in fashion and design, the new Firenze school runs an intense art-oriented programme, encompassing History of Art, Art Management and Visual Multimedia Arts.
Students at Istituto Marangoni are constantly motivated to grow and they get all the tools they need to step into the working world with confidence. Through highly qualified teachers, our students get in touch with leading companies in the fashion industry, the same companies that turn to us to find their next hires.
Students from all over the world meet in our schools in Milano, Firenze, Paris, London and Shanghai, and exchange ideas, projects, inspiration and visions. All of these lead to an evolution of their aesthetic taste, helping them gain insight on their future career options.
