Milano Fashion Institute – Experience Fashion at Its Core

 

Thanks to its partnership with Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, Milano Fashion Institute offers students an exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to Milan Fashion Week. This unique opportunity includes front-row access to runway shows, exclusive presentations, and immersive industry events, giving students a firsthand look at how the global fashion system operates.

 

 

MFI students don’t just observe—they actively participate. From assisting in event operations to showcasing their own projects, students gain practical experience, insights into professional workflows, and invaluable opportunities to network with top designers, brand executives, influencers, and media professionals.

 

By stepping into the heart of the fashion world, MFI students build connections, gain confidence, and develop the skills needed to shape the future of fashion—transforming classroom knowledge into real-world experience.

 

 

FASHION HUB

 

 

The Fashion Hub of the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana is an open space in Milan for emerging designers, brands, and industry professionals. Supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Italian Trade Agency (ICE), it promotes innovative projects and nurtures new talent, with a focus on sustainability, inclusion, craftsmanship, and education.

 

Milano Fashion Institute students actively participate in Milan Fashion Week, contributing to events, workshops, presentations, installations, and showcasing their own creations to an international audience. In the latest edition, MIFAD students developed five outfits for the “FASHION BEYOND: TRENDS GO GLOBAL” project in collaboration with DHL Express, inspired by emerging markets such as China, UAE, Turkey, Mexico, and South Africa. Each creation was accompanied by a storytelling highlighting creative vision, market trends, and export strategies, providing students with hands-on international experience.

 

The Fashion Hub offers unique opportunities for visibility, networking, and professional growth, including meetings with buyers, press, influencers, celebrities, institutions, and international brands. MFI students experience Fashion Week as active participants, involved in production, management, and promotion of events.
