Palazzo Reale, once again, hosted the event during which - to discuss the centrality of training for a successful career - speakers Marco Fiandesio - CEO NextCouture and Antonella Andriani - Designer & Vice President ADI, in addition to the Secoli Management, took part. Special guest Alessia Cappello, Councillor for Economic Development and Labour Policies of the Municipality of Milan, who made a point of attending the event to address a thought and personal greeting to the students. The theme discussed this year delved into the importance of continuous training to keep up with a sector that is constantly changing and inevitably requires a different model of preparation than in the past; in this vision, the technical and design component appear today more than ever central and indispensable within all creative paths. In this sense, Istituto Secoli, with its training method, acts as a valid and competent travelling companion for those who wish to approach the world of fashion.
