Fashion Design Course

The BA (Hons) degree program in Fashion is developed in six academic semesters.
The first two semesters make up the basic Fashion Design course, the professional level includes the third and fourth semester and the advanced level is made up of the fifth and sixth academic semesters.

At the end of the advanced course there is the possibility to participate in the Fashion Design master courses.
The students, guided by valid professionals, learn to make their way in the fashion industry both from the design and from the market point of view, developing the special capabilities typical of the great fashion designers, a special sensibility towards the signs that foretell the fashion trends, learning to read the various stimuli to be able to translate them into fashion and into new trends to propose in the fashion shows.

Various kinds of fashion are covered during the school's program (sportswear, elegant, casual, avant-garde, etc.), developing both the design capabilities and the technical ability to produce these garments.

During the Fashion Design course the students have numerous occasions where they will be in direct contact with the industry, with designers, and with the public.
An integral part of the course are the fashion shows that our Fashion school organizes each year in Italy or in other countries.
