MASTER IN
FASHION DIRECTION:
BRAND & PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

16th EDITION
The Master in Fashion Direction: Brand & Product Management is aimed to form professionals, with different skills, that are able to contribute to the process of brand management and collection development. They are professional figures that integrate multi-disciplinary skills (design - management - communication), much in demand by fashion companies formed but that are not formed by the traditional educational courses, usually oriented exclusively to a single discipline. These professionals are able to manage and coordinate the process of brand management, from the declination of the brand language on the different lines, to the planning and development of the collections, and finally up to the management of product’s communication to the trade market.

The Master Course is completely in English.
During the whole course an Italian - English bilingual Teaching Assistant is available for both Italian and foreign students.

MFI gave me the right tools for entering into the corporate world, thanks to a deep knowledge of the Italian fashion system and the fashion product.  It also allowed me to test my creativity applied to projects related to the branding and image.
I was very happy of my internship experience because now it became a job: Product Training Specialist at Valentino S.p.A. This job allows me to be always in contact with the product and all the collections of the brand, know and interact with all departments of the company, to travel and to share my passion for fashion.
Thanks to MFI I came into contact with this historic luxury company, an international fashion leader.

Studying the master in MFI, gave me the opportunity to discover fashion by living in Milan, one of the fashion capitals of the world. There, I attended to meetings, conferences, workshops and other events, of which I could participate and be involved in.
Also, in MFI, I have been surrounded by professors, professionals of the fashion industry, colleagues and friends from different countries and backgrunds but with the same passion: fashion.  So, there was an international environment from which I grow professionally but especially, from a personal point of view.
I am currently working in Bershka, INDITEX, in the Product Distribution Department. I am in charge of doing the Distribution of the Denim collection to all the Bershka stores.
In Bershka, I fulfilled my professional dream: to get a job in a fashion company and work in a creative and international environment. I am working hard and loving my job, and I am trying to learn and improve every day.

My experience at the MFI absolutely has helped the growth of my professional role. I could deepen known topics such as: Brand Management, Licensing, Fashion Marketing, Brand Communication, Brand Design, Merchandising & Pricing that I haven’t studied during my undergraduate.
I think it is important to have an overview of the fashion system: from the collection structure and product development up to the brand communication and product itself. In fact, to acquire the global knowledge of the dynamics and processes within a fashion company makes easier the dialogue between the various departments.
My work experience was definitely the perfect end of my MFI course. I was lucky to find a challenging environment, where I was able to apply the knowledge gained during the months of lessons and acquire other competences.
Generally speaking,  I am very satisfied about my MFI Master Program.
