Key Collaborations
Master in Luxury Brand Management and Business Design × ESSILORLUXOTTICA
Collaborating with ESSILORLUXOTTICA, students will be asked to develop human-centered strategic guidelines across different market territories (Fashion, Jewellery, Sport, Lifestyle, and Tech & Med-Tech), starting from the analysis of the shift from passive digital immersion to more intentional and meaningful forms of human engagement.
Master in Interior & Living Design × ICS Milan
In collaboration with ICS Milan, students are asked to design an integrated Secondary learning neighborhood that includes eight classrooms, the connecting corridor and threshold spaces, and the adjacent covered balcony, all designed to support focus, collaboration, wellbeing, and student agency.
Master in Visual Brand Design × Amici del FAI Association
Working with Amici del FAI Association, students will develop a communication strategy across different media, both physical and digital, with particular attention to the ethical dimension of communication and the power of storytelling when engaging with vulnerable and marginalised communities.
Master in Service Design and Interaction Design × Accurat
With Accurat, participants are invited to explore how data can be experienced as a living, human force rather than an abstract system, by designing a system for data collection, representation, and communication that brings the human dimension back into cold numbers.
Master in Urban Vision & Architectural Design x Olivetti Historical Archives Association
Students are asked to work with Olivetti’s Historical Archive Association diverse collection – showcasing objects, documents, and multimedia materials – to develop architectural proposals that both preserve and reinterpret it.
Master in Product Design x Krill Design
Collaborating with Krill Design, students are asked to design objects that operate before, during or after eating, combining micro-gestures related to food and everyday domestic practices with objects that can enhance or frame a ritual, making REKRILL®, the bio-based material derived from agri-food leftovers, the leading element of the project.
Master in Fashion Styling & Visual Merchandising x MANNER
Within the framework of the collaboration with MANNER Magazine, students are required to conceive and develop an editorial insert in fanzine format, specifically designed for the magazine and coherent with its independent and authorial positioning.
Master in Fashion Management x Sa Su Phi
Collaborating with Sa Su Phi – the Italian luxury brand that also dressed Miranda Priestly in a scene of The Devil Wears Prada 2 – students will be tasked with developing a clear strategic proposal to guide the brand’s future growth, grounded in a thorough analysis of its current identity, market insights, and a set of coherent, high-impact strategic choices.
Master in Fashion Design x Orange Fiber
Students will be challenged to develop a new capsule collection using circular and bio-based textiles that reflect their cultural backgrounds and aesthetic languages, representing the “first season” of their own brand.
