Fashion and Costume Design

The Master of Arts gives the students the necessary skills to handle experimental design, laboratory, and cultural projects that are linked to fashion and costume design. The course aims at investigating, over the two years, the topic of narration and mise-en-scène of garments created for specific events and bodies, covering the topic of archives and collections as heritage and starting points for designing.

Over the MA, students will have the opportunity to:

• analyse practical, theoretical, and artistic information linked to fashion and costume design phenomena
• make use of complex methodologies to create articulate solutions and manifold projects, for the creation of clothing collections specifically targeted at the haute couture and performing arts' costume context
• develop a high degree of professionalism, supported by entrepreneurial skills, creativity, motivation, self-sufficiency, and communication skills
