What’s it like to study in Florence? 

School of Fashion Study Away Florence Mark

In Florence, you’ll get the chance to study in one of the world’s fashion capitals and learn where fashion came from, and where it’s going. You’ll take part in field trips, workshops, lectures, and activities that are designed to expand your understanding of fashion. 

The new home to the program is the Palazzo Vettori, which is a prestigious and ancient building located in the heart of Florence, at the corner of Via Cavour and Via Alfani, next to Piazza del Duomo. The fabric of the building started at the beginning of the 15th century and its façade proclaims the new ideas of Renaissance architecture based on the use of rustication.
Our students also study alongside masters of couture fashion techniques and the European luxury business. 

How will studying in Florence help your career development?

You’ll study with masters of couture fashion techniques and experts in the European luxury business. You’ll also get the chance to specialize in Italian Fashion and Culture, Florence Fashion Design, Merchandising Planning and Buying, Product Development in the Fashion Industry, and The Luxury Market. No matter what you choose, you’ll take on practical projects that are relevant to your goals and future career.

tudying in Florence was amazing. I’ll never forget everything I learned about the culture and the people I met along the way. I was also able to learn how to design accessories such as shoes and purses during an internship. If I could do it again, I’d fly out there in a heartbeat!”
