Immersed in the fashion capital of Europe
Classes started the following day. The campus where we meet everyday is super central, in Piazza San Babila, which is just a 5 min walk from the Duomo, famous symbol of the city of Milano. It was exciting to meet our professors which all have an amazing background in the world of fashion. A very comforting aspect for us, students of Macromedia, was learning the methodology of how classes and exams are structured is extremely similar to what we are used to, full of group projects, and very hands on work. Speaking of hands on work, this first month has already been full of interesting outings within the city, visiting important showrooms, and incredible stores. One particular event that stands out is the seminar we were called to attend, where the creator and designer of world famous brand GCDS really gave us a behind the scenes of what gives him inspiration for his amazing collections, and also more practical information on how he runs his company, and what he went through to get where he is. All amazing insight.
Istituto Marangoni also offers many advantages for its students like discounts that go from fabric stores, useful for the design students, to gyms around the city, this also really helps foreign students to immediately get to know useful places to make this semester the best and most complete experience possible.
