Description
Teachings
  • The universe of accessories (bags, shoes, small leather goods, etc.) is known as one of the most vital and interesting in contemporary fashion from the point of view of creativity. The design of these products is currently one of the most important areas in the economy tied to the worldwide fashion system. The accessory has, over time, evolved from a simple piece accompanying clothes, to an iconic object and status symbol, which has become associated with an undisputed esthetic and stylistic value: in parallel, both their design and the professionalism associated with them have conquered an ever more preeminent role in the reality of fashion.

    In order to gain confidence in design basics, the first year programme includes theoretical studies as well as practice-based modules focused on designing. In the second year studies go on upon the knowledge that students have acquired in the previous 2 semesters. The third and final year is dedicated to improving work skills up to professional industry standards. Therefore, the fifth and sixth semester are dedicated to the Final Project and to preparing the students for their professional life after IED.
