Program description
The goal of this MA in Fashion is to help students become experts in the complex fashion industry of today, which is characterized by the interwoven convergence of cultural, artistic, and innovative productive processes. In this way, students are encouraged to use their imaginations as they tackle fashion artifacts in the broadest sense, taking advantage of game-changing technology developments such as the incorporation of 3D elements and animation.
Students will learn how to integrate cutting-edge digital applications in fashion concepts through the study of the interplay between the fashion industry and new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Extended Reality, Virtual Pattern Making, Avatar Design, and immersive competences.
As the debate over crucial issues like sustainability and the increasing scarcity, the uncertainty of natural global resources, and the proliferation of the ethical imperative of inclusivity has become more prominent, this course equips students with a thorough understanding of the cultural, societal, and environmental impact of inventive fashion.

About the university
In 1935, Milanese tailor Giulio Marangoni established Istituto, which by 1942 had evolved into the Scuola Professionale Artistica. While the school's focus was initially on educating pattern makers and seamstresses, it shifted to fashion design, product development, and marketing in the 1970s and 1980s.
The Istituto Marangoni is an exclusive fashion and design institute in Italy.
Milan, in Lombardy, is the institute's headquarters; it also has outposts in Florence, London, Paris, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Mumbai and Miami.
The university has partnerships with more than 4,500 global brands and businesses, giving students and alums access to a wealth of resources and opportunities. As a result of the school's close relationships with businesses on a worldwide and local scale, it is able to help current students and alums map out a career path that is tailored to their specific interests and aspirations within the fields of management and business.
Istituto Marangoni's Italia campuses teaches all of the Institute's core curricula:
- Fashion Courses
- Design Courses
- Art courses
Career services help students connect with possible employers, make business connections, and get internship experience.
By the time they graduate, practically all students have designed multiple collections for the Milan Fashion Show. Students visit profile displays, trading floors, presentations, and podium demonstrations as part of the curriculum.
