IAnD in conversation with Simona Schiapucci:

List 3 direct benefits of why a student should graduate in Accessory Design from Marangoni?
The luxury fashion market is cutting-edge today. The focussed three-year undergraduate course aims to prepare students for the challenge of designing accessories for the luxury fashion market. They learn to develop their personal style and achieve competency in designing accessories. Particular emphasis is placed on design inspired by the brand “Made in Italy”.  So, the teachings equip the students with creative independence to formulate fashion and luxury ideas and to manage the development of their projects.

Can you throw more light on the ‘management’ and ‘development’ of creative independence?
The student gains an understanding of how to place his own research and design ideas in context, and analyse design development of the accessory by way of a historical perspective. This exercise enables him to determine contemporary fashion trends and how they influence design considerations.  He is informed of the application of innovative vs.traditional materials;  production processes; and the significance of understanding client-needs through their lifestyle assessment. He also learns technical processes involved in the development of new products. He is then encouraged to explore, test and analyse the feasibility of his production, referencing the iconography of luxury and the design codes of the brand.
