Fashion Design Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED)

Overview

Master your creativity and translate it into clothes and accessories that express a unique, innovative and personal story. Be inspired by new styles and ideas from areas that are not just about fashion, such as visual arts, design, digital media, marketing, new technologies, art direction and product management. You will have the opportunity to combine your expertise with traditional fashion codes, to create collections that are both contemporary and sustainable.

Methodology

The  Fashion Design programme from  Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED)  aims to provide you with everything you need to design garments, accessories or fabrics with original style, fine-tuned to perfectly meet market needs and demands. 

You will be learning to master different pattern-making and tailoring techniques, textile and leather technologies and their processing, as well as fashion design and illustration techniques, as well as the manufacturing process of garments and accessories. We will be analysing the language of fashion from a number of perspectives: as a historical, artistic and social phenomenon, and also as a flow of different trends and signs. But most importantly, we will look at it as a creative and visual form of communication, as an economic system where supply chains, marketing and communication processes are the driving forces at play. 

Who is this for?

If you are creative and passionate about the world of fashion, the Fashion Design course at IED Milano is definitely your best option!  Fashion design students are open to the contemporary world. They enjoy drawing and love to work with different inspiration sources to create clothes and accessories. 

The Fashion Design degree programme at IED Milano is based on a multidisciplinary, innovative learning approach to help you acquire the knowledge you need to become a fashion designer of the future.  Upon completion of your training programme, you will be able to assess the overall consistency of each project, from idea to concept, and all the way through to production. 

Why choose it?

Our three-year Fashion Design programme is deeply rooted into the Italian design culture that IED has contributed to develop in its more than fifty years of history. The stunning city of Milan is indeed a hotbed of inspiration with extraordinary cultural and social heritage that provides the groundwork for collections design and production.

A perfect blend of theory subjects combined with research and development of your own design approach is the main focus of our programme. Starting from year one, you will work on projects with increasing degrees of complexity, as you will challenge yourself in such activities as designing different collections: womenswear, menswear, kidswear, accessories and knitwear, all the way up to developing your dissertation project. This will be the time when you will create specific prototypes, combining tailoring and innovation knowledge with the skills and expertise developed throughout the three years.
