The Master in Fashion Direction: Brand & Sustainability Management at MFI was a really important experience for me. Fashion had always been a passion, but this Master gave me the chance to finally study and understand the industry in depth. What I liked the most was the mix of different subjects, which helped me get a complete view of the fashion system, thanks to professors often directly working in the industry, guest speakers, and real case studies. Being involved in activities during Design Week and Fashion Week was also a great opportunity to experience the fashion world from the inside. The international environment was one of the best parts of the Master. Being surrounded by people from different cultures, all sharing the same passion, was very inspiring.

Thanks to the MFI job platform, I found my internship at Bottega Veneta, which was the best possible entry into the fashion industry. Today I am still working at Bottega Veneta as HR Assistant for Southern Europe, and I’m grateful for how much the Master helped shape both my professional path and personal growth.
