The Istituto Marangoni is a private Italian school of fashion and design. It has campuses in Milan, London, Paris and Shanghai.
History
The school was founded in Milan in 1935 by the tailor Giulio Marangoni, and became a Scuola Professionale Artistica or "professional art school" in 1942.[1]
A London campus was opened in Fashion Street, Shoreditch, in 2003. A Paris campus on avenue Raymond Poincaré opened in October 2006, and a Shanghai campus in 2012.
In 2011 Career Education Corporation sold the Istituto Marangoni to Providence Equity Partners for a price estimated between 17 and 20 million dollars.[2]
There are about 2,200 students of 70 nationalities in the three campuses.[3]
Accreditation
The Istituto Marangoni is not listed by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, the Italian ministry of education, among the institutions authorised to award degrees in music, dance and the arts.[4]
In the UK, its BA and MA programmes are validated by the Manchester Metropolitan University.[5]
Alumni
About 40,000 students have graduated.[6] Alumni include Franco Moschino, Domenico Dolce (who left after four months, believing that the school had nothing to teach him),[7] Alessandra Facchinetti and Rafael Lopez.[8]
