Fashion courses in Milan

I was able to accomplish and learn so many things during my 3-year experience and study at Istituto Secoli. I have built a solid foundation as a designer and patternmaker.

I’ve always known which was my path, the training at Istituto Secoli pushed me to pursue it. They taught me to take my ideas and turn them into reality: from the design to the creation.

I have a degree in Fashion Design from Istituto Secoli, I attended the three-year women's course. The school prepares you for the work industry, and it's perfect for those who want to take a specialisation. The courses are complete and very precise. The teachers are competent and helpful, and the students are supported during their studies.

Every creative person must combine inspiration with the ability to implement their own ideas. Istituto Secoli, where I got my master's degree in lingerie and bridal wear, taught me exactly this. In my work as a designer, it's essential not to neglect patternmaking and tailoring skills, to have the ability to turn a simple drawing into reality, and to know how a type of material performs.

For me, the Institute was the technical foundation and professional approach that are still the core of my work today. Beyond the fascination with style, the 'know-how' and the professional dedication developed are now the greatest strengths of the profession.

I graduated in Fashion Design at Istituto Secoli, in particular I attended the three-year course in Fashion Design, Patternmaking and Menswear Bespoke. The training is exhaustive and very precise, ideal for learning how to work in the different areas of the fashion industry.

I attended the Women's wear Patternmaking and Size Development course in the 90s. The working method was very simple and straightforward. I found a job straight away! I recommend it.

My education at Istituto Secoli, first in pattern-making and then in sketch-making, has provided me with a clear scientific method for patternmaking. Knowing where and how to proceed, I can intervene conscientiously; replacing 'industrial' measurements with those of each of my clients, I obtain a precise, tailor-made pattern.

The technical-scientific training at Istituto Secoli gave me the basis to create the geometries that I now add to each one of my collections — a daily glance aimed at perceiving the entropy that surrounds me.

Before getting into Istituto Secoli, I just knew how to draw; the three-year course in women’s wear, gave me the basis and the skills to find a job in the fashion industry. This course taught me a craft and helped me to fulfill my dreams.
