PARTNERS

Multidisciplinarity and enhancement of relations with the Fashion System. The network of partners that joins Milano Fashion Institute has been woven around these axes.

Alongside industry associations, able to represent the most expressive production systems of "Made in Italy" in the various product categories, Milano Fashion Institute has since its foundation started relationships with the most important Italian and international companies in the sector, in order to increase placement opportunities for their students and promote innovation in the fashion professions, anticipating changes in the sector.

In parallel, since 2012, an internationalization process has been launched through affiliation with leading international universities, including the Fashion Institute of Technology - State University of New York to promote international programs and summer schools aimed at students from all over the world, capable of combine valuable educational, cultural and personal experiences.

FIELD INTEGRATED PROJECTS
Integrated projects represent a unique opportunity for students to integrate study projects and real case studies into the teaching activity, carried out in partnership with important fashion, design and luxury companies that provide a project brief on a shared theme between the company management and the professors of Milano Fashion Institute.
The integrated projects are divided into a full-time training module, coordinated by a multidisciplinary team of teachers, in which, starting from the brief developed with the company, one works as a team to create a proposal aimed at responding to the objectives defined by the brief itself. The general objective is to develop business, product and collection strategies, communication with a high innovation content and adhering to the reality of the company, simulating work processes as close as possible to the reality of professional contexts.
