Milan

Ferrari Fashion School is based in Milan, the international capital of fashion, design, and creativity.

Located in the heart of Milan’s fashion district, the Italian and international fashion capital, Ferrari Fashion School is just steps away from the major brands, creative agencies, professional studios, and photography studios with which it interacts.

Studying here means being immersed every day in the heart of the fashion system, where strategy, innovation, and industry converge. Not only is it a city synonymous with fashion, but also a true cultural hub, where showrooms, trade shows, and fashion weeks are a natural extension of the classroom.

Students have the opportunity to participate firsthand behind the scenes at events and fashion shows, visit industry trade shows such as MilanoUnica, and exhibit their work in exhibitions, presentations, and fashion shows, gaining public visibility and developing their ability to engage with the outside world.

Projects with companies

Ferrari Fashion School integrates academic training with projects developed in collaboration with companies, brands, and creative entities in the fashion industry.

Students work on real-world briefs, meeting the objectives, deadlines, and professional standards typical of the contemporary market.

These experiences allow them to apply creative, technical, and strategic skills in real-world contexts, fostering the development of design, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Projects with companies represent a key part of the training program, contributing to the construction of a solid, career-oriented portfolio.

Career guidance and internships

Ferrari Fashion School supports students in the transition from education to the professional world, offering guidance, practical tools, and concrete opportunities.

Ferrari Fashion School offers its students the opportunity to complete an internship with one of the School’s various partners (companies, ateliers, showrooms, professional studios, and magazines) to put into practice what they’ve learned during their studies.

Ferrari Fashion School offers its students dedicated, personalized career guidance through coaches and headhunters, actively supporting the creation of a solid and original portfolio, the drafting of a CV aligned with their career aspirations, and the ability to successfully conduct job interviews. The School promotes internship and job opportunities for both current students and alumni.

Extracurricular activities

Extracurricular activities are an integral part of the educational program and extend the experience beyond the classroom and laboratory.

Ferrari Fashion School offers a structured program of field experiences that allow students to come into direct contact with the fashion system, its key players, and real-world professional contexts.

The program includes external visits to museums, foundations, showrooms, companies, and production facilities in the sector, as well as participation in events, fashion shows, fashion weeks, collection presentations, and leading trade fairs such as Milano Unica. Students participate in exclusive meetings, exhibitions, and cultural events that contribute to expanding their knowledge of the Italian and international fashion scene.

Activities include guest talks, CEO talks, and meetings with designers, creatives, managers, and industry experts, who share visions, strategies, and professional paths. Backstage experiences and support as dressers at events and fashion shows are also included, as well as special projects, internships, and collaborations with companies and brands based on real-world briefs.

Students also have the opportunity to exhibit their work, participate in exhibitions, presentations, and editorial projects, developing professional awareness and public engagement skills. This approach fosters the development of a solid portfolio, the acquisition of transversal skills, and a genuine understanding of the dynamics of the contemporary fashion system.

Visits and study trips

Visits and trips, including abroad, are an integral part of the Ferrari Fashion School curriculum, offering real hands-on learning experiences.

Through direct access to brands, textile companies, and professional studios, students have the opportunity to gain an insider’s look at the creative and industrial processes that are the heart of the industry.

At the same time, museums, foundations, archives, events, and iconic locations for art and fashion become essential study tools for understanding the cultural phenomena influencing contemporary fashion.

These immersive experiences allow students to combine cultural vision and production awareness, developing a critical and up-to-date perspective on the global fashion system.
