Master in Fashion Design and Business

Ten amazing months, with internationally renowned lecturers and companies. Once in a life time opportunity to learn directly from the protagonists and broaden your perspective in the world of fashion. The Master course starts in November 2021 with 20 selected and international students in the classroom. It lasts ten months and is taught entirely in English.

Learning directly from professionals is the best way to pick up the most advanced visions and methods at source. Unlike conventional Master courses, the Raffles Milano Masters bring to the classroom knowledge in action thanks to top notch fashion designers who alternate in the classroom during the ten months.

Fashion is education about beauty, the ability to express thoughts and emotions, the most direct expression of the contemporary world: colors, shapes and materials in perfect harmony. It is the most lively of the art forms, thriving on people in real life. Like in a major theater "pièce", getting the stage-set just right is crucial in the game of seduction, but a part cannot stand for the whole. To be able to keep on winning over an increasingly stimulated and probably confused consumer is to go back to fundamentals by employing in-depth technical training.
