A qualified and unique learning experience, at an international level. Founded by the most important institutions of the city of Milan in 2007, Milano Fashion Institute is the University Institute for Higher Education in fashion, with a specific goal: the development of an interdisciplinary training centre of excellence.
Since its foundation, Milano Fashion Institute has been characterized by multidisciplinary didactic programs and by the unique faculty at an international scale: university professors of the Founding and Supporting Partners, managers of successful companies, together to integrate management, design and communication. Economics and management disciplines, social and communication sciences, technological and design disciplines, to lead junior professional among the most qualified in the field and appreciated by the Fashion and Luxury System.
Attending Milano Fashion Institute represents a unique opportunity: on a professional level, thanks to the faculty, the Career Service, and the ministerial recognition of all the Masters, and on a personal level, living a whole year in Milan, the European capital of Fashion and Luxury, as well as the country's financial and entrepreneurial capital.
Milano Fashion Institute is a non-profit inter-university institute for the realization of educational programs and scientific activities for the Fashion System. This has been possible through the creation of a reference centre for the entire sector on an international level.
Founded as an inter-university institute in 2007 by the most important Milanese Universities (Politecnico di Milano, Università Bocconi, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) and Institutions (Municipality of Milan, Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana), Milano Fashion Institute launched its first Master in 2009. This first milestone has been followed by a series of initiatives in the next years, with a common goal: training innovative junior professional profiles. All of them have been immediately received with extraordinary favour by companies of the fashion and luxury systems.
In 2011, the internationalization process of all post-graduate Masters began: the campus becomes a destination for international students from all over the world.
In 2012, the educational and didactic model of Milano Fashion Institute becomes the object of study and is presented in Hong Kong in the occasion of "DesignEd Asia 2012", a key international event for teachers, researchers, trend analysts and designers, organized by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, School of Design.
In 2015 the “Short Courses” and “Executive Programs” division was founded to respond to the business world on key and highly innovative issues: the integration with the entrepreneurial system consolidates even more.
In 2020 the planning and training partnership with Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana was born, after years of joint work with the Sustainability Committee, and the first university master in Product Sustainability Management is launched, a unique initiative on a global level.
In the same year, the new Campus was opened, designed as a training and experiential place for an increasingly international student community.
