Since 2022 Piattaforma Sistema Formativo Moda ETS has been implementing an internationalisation programme within Fashion Graduate Italia through talent partnerships with leading international educational institutions, with the goal of promoting the Italian fashion education system in an international context. Through this project Piattaforma aims to create a global network that constantly promotes dialogue between talents from every region of the world and creates new opportunities for exchange and mutual enrichment in education.
In this context, Piattaforma has launched the dedicated “Talent to Talent” format in collaboration with the City of Milan, with the aim of bringing to Fashion Graduate Italia young creative talents from the most important cities twinned with Milan from around the world.
This initiative further strengthens the synergy between Piattaforma Sistema Formativo Moda and the Municipality of Milan, and is part of the international cooperation promoted by the Municipality aimed at promoting City to City collaborations with all over the world.
The Partner Cities of the 2024 edition of Talent to Talent are Chicago (U.S.A.), Shanghai (China) and Melbourne (Australia). Each city will showcase the excellence of its fashion education system through the projects of the best talents from their top fashion universities. The participating educational institutions are: Columbia College from Chicago; Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) from Melbourne; Shanghai University of Engineering Science (SUES), Shanghai Art & Design Academy, Design School of East of China Normal University (ECNU), Istituto Marangoni Shanghai from Shanghai.
In addition, a second international fashion show dedicated to other international universities is planned during the event. Among them, some are returning after having participated in previous years: UEDA College of Fashion, Osaka Institute of Fashion, OSAKA MODE GAKUEN COLLEGE OF FASHION & DESIGN from Osaka; Keimyung University and Kyungpook National University from Daegu and Faculdade Santa Marcelina from São Paulo. They were also joined by the LISAA Fashion School in Paris (France) and TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).
