The three-year course in Fashion Design trains professionals in many abilities in the field of fashion and the techniques for the development of designs and the making of garments, responding to changing needs in the fashion industry and international luxury. Starting with the techniques in design, the course will address the analysis of fabrics and clothing manufacturing, as well as aspects of production. The study of fashion trends will allow for the creation of a collection that responds to the needs of the target brand. The fashion designer is the inspiration for creative ideas and new trends, not only clothing, but also in fabric development and in the world of accessories. They create collections based on a informed analysis of materials and fabrics in connection with art, marketing and fashion. They know how to calculate timeframes and production costs. The designer satisfies the needs of the target market, while respecting the brand image and inkeeping with trends. At the end of the course, the graduate will have an intimate familiarity with the contact network set up by Marangoni, to independently enter into the working world. The diploma in fashion design trains experts to predict trends and tendencies: the fashion designer can work for private labels or in collaboration with Italian fashion houses and their style studios, as consultants or researchers. They will be able to design collections for women, men and children, as well as accessories, with a permanent eye focused on new evolutions in fashion design.
