Overview

Traditionally, Alta Moda or Haute Couture is the creation of unique tailor-made garments made mainly by hand using high quality fabrics, decorations, applications and embroideries with extreme attention to details.

The objectives are aimed at providing conceptual competence and tools necessary to understand the new design narratives, technologies and contemporary market areas of Haute Couture: from research to experimentation, from innovation to the final realization of the garment. Participants also have the opportunity to gain direct experience by developing research projects on specific topics, collaborating with the most important professionals and the most prestigious brands.

Upon completion of the Academic Master in Alta Moda, Fashion Design from Accademia Costume & Moda students will be able to pursue a career as Designers inside the Creative Offices of Haute Couture ateliers and in leading companies in Prét-à-Porter or to work as Product Office Managers and to cover various professional roles in Fashion: from the design of a collection to textile and print design, embellishment up to the creation of their own business.
