Transform your passion and creative universe into a profession, gaining the skills to design, produce and communicate your creations.
The Master in Fashion Design provides you with all the tools and knowledge to tackle the different stages of the design process – from the initial creative idea to the realisation of your own collection. You will also work on the communicative and strategic value of a fashion product in the context of a brand.
You will gain insights into fashion history and context, pattern making, printing, drawing, experimentation in knitwear and sewing workshops, draping, and mastering production processes. With this training, you’ll be able to apply theoretical and practical foundations of fashion design to develop coherent collections based on a concept and tailored to specific target audiences.
The programme’s different subjects will help you understand fashion as a system of trends, economic mechanisms, and communication strategies aimed at inspiring and captivating consumers.
Information to decide
A Master programme at one of the top fashion schools – and you’ll graduate with your own collection.
The programme is structured around practical learning, with each student working on projects that replicate real-world processes within the fashion industry.
Its methodology is rooted in experiential learning and project development. Through an experimental approach carried out in specialised workshops, students explore all stages of fashion design: ideation, development and garment realisation. The course combines hands-on sessions, personalised tutoring, and the completion of a Final Project focused on creating and producing a personal collection.
Experimentation with materials, innovation in pattern making, and the exploration of new creative languages are encouraged to develop a contemporary and individual approach.
Students also have access to assisted workshops beyond class hours, with resources and technical support available to optimise learning and project development.
This Master is designed for professionals and creatives from a wide range of backgrounds, with an artistic sensibility and an interest in fashion design. Whether your experience lies in visual arts, architecture, product design, communication, or social sciences, you will find the tools to shape your own voice within the fashion industry.
Previous experience in fashion is not required, but a critical and curious perspective on creative processes and industry trends is essential.
Applicants must submit a CV and a portfolio of fashion-related work, either academic or professional.
The Master in Fashion Design offers a comprehensive education that combines hands-on experimentation, project-based learning and a critical understanding of the fashion system.
Throughout the course, you will develop a personal collection while acquiring creative, technical and strategic skills essential for entering the fashion industry with a strong, independent profile.
The international environment and close contact with lecturers and professionals will help you build a solid and up-to-date vision of the field.
Access to specialised workshops, guidance from expert tutors, and the development of a final project will allow you to build a competitive and coherent portfolio aligned with current industry standards.
