Accessories Design

System demands for the designers not only to be able to design collections,
but also to be professional characters with growing multi-disciplinary

the communication and the retail aspects.

Milan it is possible to study at the centre of a Fashion System that is unique
in the world and internationally recognized; Where the creativity of the
fashion designers integrates with the production capacity, with the quality
of fabrics and confection, with entrepreneurial abilities as well as with
retail and communication innovations, allowing a direct contact with this
world, its protagonists and events.
