Ferrari Fashion School is an institution of higher education and a laboratory of creativity in Milan that has been looking at fashion as a cultural, social and economic system for more than 20 years, and offers specialised study courses in design, tailoring, communication and fashion management.
The academy combines its Italian roots with a strong international vocation to promote and valorise Made in Italy in both Italy and abroad; the culture of fashion is combined with technical skills – craftsmanship, technology, digital and business – through an exclusive teaching method based on practical experience.
Since 2023 Ferrari Fashion School, in an increasingly international perspective, has become an institutional partner of Teesside University, expanding its educational offer with Bachelor and Master of Arts courses in English, in compliance with the ECTS system.
The students engaged throughout the year in a process of briefing, designing, revising, fitting, volumising and manipulating. They rediscovered ancient production processes and materials, recovering mosaics, lace, inlays, appliqué and carpentry work, metal embroidery and laser cuts to express their creative identity in inventiveness, with a responsible and circular approach.
“Imagination must be trained with practice. What drives creative minds to make new collections is often an inspiration that comes from discovering a material, manipulating a particular fabric, studying a vintage garment.” – comments Anna Lottersberger, Dean of Ferrari Fashion School in Milan.
The chosen theme is ‘Esperia’, a term derived from ‘Hesperia’, a word that in ancient Greece indicated the Italian peninsula as the land of the West in the direction indicated by Venus, the ‘Star of Hope’. The intention is to celebrate Italian savoir-faire in creativity, craftsmanship and art, thus encouraging talents to discover and reinterpret the heritage of technical skills and knowledge, with an unconventional approach to design, communication and marketing in fashion. Students were inspired by artistic influences in the Bel Paese, from the study of contemporary Italian fashion to the rediscovery of ancient materials, craft and avant-garde practices taken from art, architecture and design to shape their own creative vision.
