The Heritage

Istituto Marangoni was founded in 1935 in Milan. Since then, the objective has been to prepare highly skilled professionals for the fashion and design industries.
Today the objective remains the same. Over the last 70 years Istituto Marangoni has played a significant role in the development of the Italian fashion industry: constantly updating its courses, creating young creative talents, and providing immediate answers to the market necessities.

Alongside the original fashion design course, Marangoni offers Basic courses (three year programs), One-Year and Master Programmes in the fields of Design and Fashion such as: Fashion Business, Fashion Buying, Brand Management and Fashion Promotion, Interior Design, Product Design and Graphic Design.
The institute has taught 3 generations of students, a total of over 30.000 professionals, and has been the ‘launch platform’ for a series of world renowned names, such as: Franco Moschino, Domenico Dolce (Dolce & Gabbana), Maurizio Pecoraro, Alessandro De Benedetti, Stefano Guerriero, Alessandra Facchinetti, Rafael Lopez and Alexandro Palombo.
