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] At first the school trained mainly pattern makers and seamstresses; in the 1970s and 1980s it turned towards fashion design, product development and marketing.[2]:185

A London campus was opened in a former textile factory at 30 Fashion Street, Shoreditch, in 2003.[3][4][5] 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.[6]

There are about 2200 students of 70 nationalities in the three campuses.[7]

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.[8]

In the UK, its BA and MA programmes are validated by the Manchester Metropolitan University.[9][10][11]

Alumni

Alumni of the school include Franco Moschino,[12] Domenico Dolce (who left after four months, believing that the school had nothing to teach him),[13] Alessandra Facchinetti,[12] Rafael Lopez[12] and Alessandro Sartori.[14]
