Milan
Design is part of the fabric of Milan. From the city’s
fashion tradition to its new role as a startup hub, Milan
is home to a thriving commercial design industry and a
globally facing creative culture.
Life in Milan moves at a relentless pace, in fact it’s
hard to remain unmoved or detached from all the
cultural, social and business activities afoot. It follows
that there is no better place to pursue a design
education.
Milan is the world capital of fashion and design, brimming with innovative
and creative people, emerging designer boutiques and businesses whose
longstanding success is built on design.
The centre of Milan is home to the flagship stores of some of the most
important fashion and design brands, including Cappellini, Driade, Kartell,
Versace, Armani and Valentino. Therefore, students can draw inspiration from
the trend-setting work of the world’s leading designers and, at their fingertips,
will be Italy’s finest artisans and manufacturing facilities, that make Made in
Italy craftsmanship famous around the world.
Milan bristles with life. Every year during the Fashion Weeks, Design Week
and their various ancillary activities such as the Fuorisalone, Milan becomes
one big showroom, full of non-stop exhibitions, performances, parties and
conferences featuring prestigious international guests.
But the reach of design doesn’t stop there, it can be seen in the outline
traced by the city’s new skyline, in the partnerships being developed between
research, design and business, and in the deployment of new technologies
that tackle the widest possible range of design problems. Milan is a creative
environment like no other.
