Scuola di Design e Moda - Master in Design e Moda - Domus Academy

Domus Academy, center of excellence in research and development of project design and Ars Sutoria, the most prestigious historical Institute of technical specialization in leather goods and shoes, have agreed on a partnership based on the didactics of the Master in Accessories design at Domus Academy in 2012, making the most of the different characteristics and experiences to provide students with a unique path of excellence.

The evolution of the Fashion System demands for the designers not only to be able to design collections, but also to be professional characters with growing multi-disciplinary competences, capable of managing and communicating with the various sectors involved. Today the fashion designer needs to be manager and art-director at the same time, and must be able to manage the project up to the product, the communication and the retail aspects.

Only in Italy and only in Milan it is possible to study at the centre of a Fashion System that is unique in the world and internationally recognized; Where the creativity of the fashion designers integrates with the production capacity, with the quality of fabrics and confection, with entrepreneurial abilities as well as with retail and communication innovations, allowing a direct contact with this world, its protagonists and events.

The Course

Despite the shared formative foundations with the Master Course in Fashion Design, the path of the Master Course in Accessories Design focuses specifically on everything that revolves around people and clothes. Bags, leather goods, shoes, glasses, gloves, belts, jewels, hats, scarves etc…. these items often become as significant creations as the clothes they should just complete and, for this reason, they often represent a strong element for characterization and style uniqueness.

The path of the Master Course in Accessories Design is a path of experience, research and project making, created combining the theoretic patrimony of innovative and expert didactics with the fundamental contribution of a close and concrete collaboration with prestigious companies and professionals, who chose to follow the students during their training. The course, in fact, is a sort of laboratory where to express one’s creative sensitivity according to manufacturing and entrepreneurial realities, thus allowing the young designer to experiment innovative design methodologies and to acquire a deep knowledge of the field in all its aspects.
