Our fashion book is a collection of inspiration and new ideas, research and trend analysis, also featuring the best projects by our Fashion, Visual and Interior students, who are awarded a grant for their studies.
Artistic and cultural activities
We promote special events and exhibitions for students and young designers as a way to engage them with a real goal throughout their studies.
One of our main partners is the Italian Fashion schools board, whose primary goal is to reinforce the identity of the whole Italian fashion educational system and promote the relationship between schools and the fashion industry, with special events such as the Fashion Graduate Italia show, where the best graduates from Italian fashion schools and academies present their work.
