ISTITUTO SECOLI - WE TEACH FASHION
The first Fashion Academy in Italy, founded in 1934, has trained four generations of fashion makers, who are now key players in Italian and international brands, skilled hands and capable minds, able to create and design garments that are studied and refined in every smallest detail.
Istituto Secoli trains talents with comprehensive preparation ranging from fashion design to pattern making, from prototyping to garment construction, up to the creation of a collection. The two souls, education and business services, share the same mission and vision, strengthening each other in a virtuous cycle.
This balance ensures the excellence of courses and services, consolidating the Institute’s credibility and authority with institutional stakeholders and the fashion industry. Passion is the driving force that fuels the continuous pursuit of quality and innovation, making Istituto Secoli a reference point in the sector.
