New Polimoda short course: Art in Fashion

Get the ultimate fashion experience with Polimoda’s newest short course, Art in Fashion, in collaboration with Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto.

In the first two weeks you will have the chance to be part of the Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto for ten days in which you will experience the most advanced outcomes in the field of art-sustainability-fashion. Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto was instituted in 1998 as a concrete action of the Progetto Arte Manifesto where the artist Michelangelo Pistoletto proposed a new role for the artist: that of placing art in direct interaction with all the areas of human activity which form society.

You will be taken on a journey through the magic of creating clothing from top Italian fabrics, visiting factories and working with the most exclusive fabric producers in the world, and the most trustworthy agency for sustainability in the textile industry. In the second half, in Florence, you will be able to transform this creation into a portfolio, with element of styling and communication.

The study plan features: basics on fabrics, relationship between art and fashion, methodology on visual research, workshops on creating a garment, elements on styling, portfolio creation, product communication, basic on creative direction.

Attending this course is an excellent first step in preparation for a training path in fashion, continuing with the four-year undergraduate programme in Fashion Design and Fashion Art Direction or with the nine-month master in Collection Design and Fashion Brand Management.
