Once again, Pitti Immagine underlines its desire to continue to help and support young designers through the PITTI Tutoring & Consulting Reward, delivered by its director Luca Rizzi.
ACM continues in its mission of training professionals capable of covering various key roles throughout the entire value chain of the fashion industry, favoring the encounter between costume and fashion, research and design, communication, and product.
The Master School with the 8 different 1st level Masters (60 credits – 1 year) has precisely this intention with unique training projects that arise between design and product, in collaboration with recognized Italian and international maisons and numerous companies in the Italian manufacturing industry, reaching job placement rates of up to 100% of the total student population.
In addition to the masters, characterized by a research approach, a fluid and transversal methodology, Specialization Courses are also starting in the upcoming months such as “Fashion Archive: Managing a Strategic Asset” in collaboration with Max Mara, “Product Merchandising“, ” Fashion Marketing & Advertising” which aim to offer rapid and targeted training in specific areas of Fashion.
