Leading player in private higher education in fashion, design and art, in over 8 decades Istituto Marangoni saw the flourishing of Italian fashion, taking active part in the conversation of what the future holds for the fashion industry while training young talents. A story of passion, dedication and success that continues to grow as isti-tuto Marangoni opens new doors and expands its academic offering in or-der to adapt to the everchanging market demands, from Fashion Design courses to business-focused curricula aimed at a direct entry into the industry. While remaining faithful to its distinctive Italian identity and edu-cational method, Istituto Marangoni's network of schools welcomes over 4,000 students each year hailing from 107 different countries. Trained by internationally renowned tutors with the support of experts in the fields and links with the most prestigious brands, Istituto Marangoni's Alumni community includes some exceptional examples of talent and genius such as Domenico Dolce, Franco Moschino and Alessandro Sartori (creative director of Zegna Group).
