MISSION & DNA
To teach new skills and grow new talent: this has been Istituto Marangoni’s mission for over 85  years now. The school combines advanced teaching methods with the latest developments in fashion, design and art to impart all the knowledge that participants need to fully express their creative self at Istituto Marangoni Milano*, Firenze, Paris, London, Mumbai, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Miami.

This unique blend of academic learning and creative and practical activities is part of Istituto Marangoni’s DNA and is reflected in its four pillars: prestigious locations, highly-qualified teachers, international ethos and Italian style, further supporting the students in finding their place among the stars of the future.

Not only are Istituto Marangoni schools located in the world’s major cities of fashion, design and art, but they are also nestled at the very heart of their respective fashion, business and creative districts. The schools themselves feature seductive interiors, visually communicating their prestige. This international presence ensures that Istituto Marangoni has its finger on the global pulse, and can offer participants specialist programmes at its various locations, as well as the ability to internationalise their skillset by moving between schools. Alongside this international dimension, Istituto Marangoni’s distinctive approach to teaching fashion, design and art is characterised by a strong focus on Italian style, a key part of the school’s identity, deeply rooted in the country’s legacy and traditions. Synonymous with luxury, excellence and the concepts of quality, beauty, and craftsmanship, Italy is famous worldwide for its unique way of combining creative flair and commercial acumen.

Istituto Marangoni aims to teach and carry forward these distinctive standards of superior quality beyond Italy’s borders, turning participants into professional designers, business movers and artistic influencers. This creative and business-oriented global perspective harnesses the participants’ drive and personal dreams, providing them with the necessary tools to develop innovative designs, cutting-edge products and solutions of the highest quality.

A significant proportion of Istituto Marangoni’s teaching staff is made up of renowned professionals, stylists, designers, photographers, art directors, graphic designers, interior decorators, product managers, buyers, marketing experts and business consultants who both teach and work in fashion, design and art, either in companies and institutions or pursuing their own endeavours. Their pragmatic values, extensive experience and deep knowledge of the current market situation are a fundamental part of transforming participants’ sheer talent into something more effective, practical, and concret.
