Since the early 1960s, the academy has been operating in the field of training in the disciplines of fashion, design and communication, offering a wide range of educational paths.All courses are taught with the aid of modern equipment and with the use of the most up-to-date software in the sector, in order to define professional profiles adapted to the needs of the labor market and new industrial strategies.
IUAD Academy of Fashion offers Level I academic courses in Fashion Design, Interior Design and Architecture, and Communication Design, Level II academic courses in Art & Copy and in Accessory Design, and finally Level I Masters in Technical Design for Fashion, Footwear and Leather Goods. The educational offerings are expanded with a three-year course in Directing for Film and Advertising.
The project that IUAD Academy fashion design students worked on for the Fashion Graduate Italia 2025 event presents the theme, “Intersections.” The intention is to explore beauty and complexity to find a meeting point between different worlds. Fashion becomes a powerful metaphor for the dialogue between cultures, ideas and aesthetics that meet and merge. This theme celebrates how seemingly contrasting elements can coexist, enriching each other and creating new expressive possibilities.
