Accademia Italiana “The Talent Factory”
The Accademia Italiana is a true breeding ground of talent. The key of the school’s success is, in fact, teaching students how to integrate ideas, dreams, and innovations with production realities. At the Accademia one learns to anticipate trends, tastes and the needs of the industries as well as the consumers in order to satisfy the complex needs of the marketplace.
The young designers of Accademia Italiana have had many opportunities to collaborate with some of the most prestigious brand names in the world, and this international recognition underlines the value of the professional preparation provided. From Cavalli to Prada, Gucci to Calvin Klein, Vivienne Westwood to Burberry, many young designers and photographers have been introduced into the working world with these famous names and many others.
Every year, our students get the chance to show off their creativity and technical capabilities. The year-end event always includes a fashion show and an exhibition of Graphic, Interior and Industrial design works. On this special day, students will compete to create their very own line for F.Fashion. The lucky winner will receive a cash prize and will get to design an individual collection for F.Fashion. Thanks to the support of Fashion TV, one of the most widely distributed satellite channels in the world, the event is broadcast to the public with worldwide coverage.
