Introduction
The three-year course study in Fashion Design prepares students to play a significant role in the fashion world, thanks to an innovative and creative vision.
At present, this field requires to possess extensive knowledge, from tailoring to digital design and ethical and sustainable tailor making. A successful Fashion designer owns their own unique personal style. This is the final goal our students reach through a multidisciplinary approach: historical, methodology and marketing topics typical of fashion industry will be addressed during the course.
Besides the theoretical aspects, high relevancy will be addressed to patterns students will make in the lab at Accademia for all three years. This is a practical approach which allows to confront with production issues. During this education path we keep close contact with the business world: experts, well-known stylists and visits to fashion companies are an essential part of it.
We promote and assign value to the work our students do, through participating into international fashion shows, events and exhibitions. They enhance students’ visibility as well as acting in favor of professional start for our students.

Curriculum
A matter of design, fabric and color
Design, fabric and color are the elements of stylistic researches our students will perform and they are elements which determine the success of a collection.
Besides stylistic aspects, students will learn to orient themselves into the market, to grasp the signs before new trends become popular. Sensitivity towards these signals is the talent we cultivate as it allows to translate costume phenomena into projects and into models walking the runway.
Artistic knowledge goes hand in hand with technical one, so that the items of clothing are examined also based on their real chances to be made.
This process doesn’t take space from creativity, but it is the necessary stimulus to address fantasy towards a practical vision. Any new idea, after sketching it, is verified by the labs at Accademia, with technical amendments when necessary on the items of clothing which were designed.
