Istituto Europeo di Design de Madrid (IED Madrid)

Talking about fashion means talking about social evolution and changing languages, dressing new clothes and new bodies. Clothing becomes the daily manifesto of future identities, and the resulting communication makes everything visible and wearable on the other side of the world. Thereafter dealing with fashion in IED Madrid means interpreting contemporary cultural, social, economics and taste trends, suggesting future cornerstones in styles, shapes and materials. IED Madrid approach to fashion points the way for its students to a full comprehension of the whole industry and to the effective ability to operate in its specific professions. IED Madrid trains creative professionals who can manage the different steps of the process: from strategy to creation, from production to logistics, from sales to marketing and brand communication, strengthened by a comprehensive view of the fashion sector. Combining theory and practice, IED Madrid provides the right tools to be able to read these signals and respond to these new needs. It turns out essential for IED students to have a conscious and innovative training in every area of the fashion sector: strategic, organisational and creative.
