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.

Can you help list some most desirable career options that offshoot from being an accessory designer?
Accessory designers are able to find work
in the world of commercial and retail fashion or in fashion studios or
manufacturing companies that supply bespoke items; or they can become
freelancers. They can also assume the role of product manager for important
fashion and luxury brands; undertake independent research to aid in creating ideas
for design and illustrating fashion and luxury accessories; become fashion
illustrators, planning and executing technical drawings for
the creation and modelling of bags and shoes and using computer-aided
technology for hi-profile professional presentation of projects; they could
become independent accessory designers with great entrepreneurial skills,
designing a complete range of accessories in response to the needs of a chosen
market.
