A Truly Professional and Inspiring Experience
February 16, 2026by: Simona Sandu Simona Rodica - RomaniaFrom the very beginning, I had the impression that this was a very professional and well-organized school. The staff is welcoming and supportive, and the teachers are truly professional and inspire confidence. This course was extremely valuable for me because, even in just one month, I learned so much — especially the techniques of fashion illustration and pattern making. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge in this field.

Highly recommended!
January 13, 2023by: Alexandra Jansen - NetherlandsProgram: Woman’s Wear Design Course
I attended the women's design course and I had an amazing experience in this school. They use an individual teaching method that is so useful and it helps the students to explore their creativity. I had the possibility to focus more on some aspect of the program I was very interested in. It is a very professional environment but you are not just a student, they really want everyone to feel comfortable. I learnt a lot and the teachers always try to understand everybody's needs. Also the graphic design Program is also so well organised, I would recommend this school to everyone.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
Growing up in a family deeply connected to fashion education, I was naturally exposed to the world of pattern making, tailoring, and design from an early age. My father founded Istituto di Moda Burgo in 1961 with the vision of creating a highly structured and professional fashion school in Milan. Over time, I realized that continuing this legacy was not simply a family responsibility, but a mission.
