Fashion Design

The Three-year BA Program offers a University level training aimed at providing professional education in the many different roles of the fashion system. The program focuses on investigating how, starting from research in clothing, the potentialities can be extended to other areas of the fashion world (accessories, textiles, interiors, communication methods for fashion, multimedia displays) and to the related project disciplines (design and architecture).

The program focuses on project and technical experimentation and on cultural and methodological innovation with a special attention on the creative markets of the next decades; for this purpose, it develops into two significant research paths: that of industrial production and that of small scale production.

Design skills and cultural sensitivity are developed in a research context that revolves around the body, space, the world of senses and the more invisible aspects contributing to the idea of beauty that goes far beyond the eye. It investigates the traditional segments of the textile-clothing sector (knowledge of materials, textile experimentation, style and pattern-making, planning of the collection and of accessories) and combines them with an education towards the visual culture and the project, enabling a creative and critical approach to the phenomenon of fashion intended as an event, as a performance and as a representation.

During the third year of the program students can choose between two specialization paths:

- Fashion Design
- Fashion Styling & Communication
