“For me, Istituto Marangoni was like daily participating in a fashion show. In a way, I benefited from the fact that I had already gained much knowledge by assisting my mother in her atelier, since I was a child. However, I was lacking a methodology. The school assisted me in finding it: it taught me a method, it instructed me on how to translate my message and how to deliver it to the catwalk. Made this premise, it was a really marvellous period: I would live it all again, everyday, forever!”

“Istituto Marangoni has definitely been a very important experience, both in terms of professional skills and human relations. I learned so much at Istituto Marangoni. I attended courses of Fashion Design, pattern making and cutting, I created patterns and I easily used the sewing machines. I studies history of fashion and history of art: the syllabus was very comprehensive and interesting. I definitely have to thank Istituto Marangoni for making me understand that fashion was my true passion and that it could be exciting work. Concerning the people I met there, I can say that today, after almost 24 years, I am still in touch with many of my classmates: we became friends and we often meet in Milano or Paris.”
