Here is how the school helps new talent,

More than 90% of the graduates of the Accademia Italiana, according to an investigation launched by the school, quickly finds collocation in the workplace, often in large companies or assisting big names in the fields of fashion and design.

Certainly an important launching pad are the year-end events (that this year will be held on April 26) where the students may show off their creativity and technical capabilities. The year-end events, in fact, always include a fashion show, the exhibition of graphic and interior and industrial design works, as well as a photography exhibition. These events, viewed by an international audience, are also seen by representatives of industry and professionals "hunting" for new talents. Another important contribution that promotes professional contacts is offered by the "Job placement" office that has been active for the past several years at the headquarters of the Accademia. Here the information concerning the possibilities of work or internship offers in the field of fashion, design and photography are passed on to interested students. The examples of success stories are numerous, here we list only a few.

Danilo Liotta, responsible for production of the main knitwear line for Vivienne Westwood. Danilo, 23 years old, is enthusiastic about his career. "I was immediately captivated by the programs at the Accademia Italiana" said Danilo Liotta. "The 3-year bachelor's degree program in Fashion Design in partnership with the University of Wales, compared to other schools, doesn't make you feel just a number, thanks to the experimental methods you have a practical approach to your studies that allows you to understand the importance of the tools you will be using when you enter into the workplace: such as deadlines, certainly."

Danilo's experience is only one example among many we could site, another is the case of Matteo Smaniotto who found his job even before he graduated, with John Richmond. He can also thank the Vogue Talent contest that allowed him to be noticed by Moschillo, producer of the John Richmond brand, and his own talent.

The Accademia Italiana is a true breeding ground of talent. The key of the school's success is, in fact, teaching how to integrate the ideas, the dreams, and the innovations with the production realities. At the Accademia one learns to anticipate the trends, tastes and the needs of the industries as well as the consumers in order to satisfy the complex needs of the marketplace.

The young designers of the Accademia Italiana have had many opportunities to collaborate with some of the most prestigious brand names in the world, and this international recognition underlines the value of the professional preparation provided. From Cavalli to Prada, Gucci to Calvin Klein, Vivienne Westwood to Burberry, many young designers and photographers have been introduced into the working world with these famous names and many others.

Here we will take a look at some of the best students who have made names for themselves or with some of the most famous names in the world of design:
