Description

Despite the shared formative foundations with the Master Course in Fashion Design, the path of the Master Course in Accessories Design focuses specifically on everything that revolves around people and clothes. Bags, leather goods, shoes, glasses, gloves, belts, jewels, hats, scarves etc.... these items often become as significant creations as the clothes they should just complete and, for this reason, they often represent a strong element for characterization and style uniqueness.

The path of the Master Course in Accessories Design is a path of experience, research and project making, created combining the theoretic patrimony of innovative and expert didactics with the fundamental contribution of a close and concrete collaboration with prestigious companies and professionals, who chose to follow the students during their training. The course, in fact, is a sort of laboratory where to express one's creative sensitivity according to manufacturing and entrepreneurial realities, thus allowing the young designer to experiment innovative design methodologies and to acquire a deep knowledge of the field in all its aspects.

First semester
The teaching activity is initially run together with the Master course in Fashion Design (psychology, anthropology, socioeconomic forecasting, marketing and management, contemporary art) with the objective to update the skills acquired by the students in their backgrounds and to facilitate the integration in terms of exchange and contents. During second part of this semester, the master follows its specificity with project seminars and workshops.

Second semester
The students are given the opportunity to work individually with companies and project leaders to realise their Master thesis.
