About Master in Fashion, Design Management & Product Development - MIFAD, Master Degree - at Milano Fashion Institute

The Master in Fashion, Design Management & Product Development – MIFAD is specifically designed for those who aim to work in product development rather than in design offices. It focuses on the managerial side of the creative process, preparing you to become a project manager in the fashion and accessories industry, overseeing the transition from design to production. Ready-to-wear & accessories have always been among the absolute excellences of Made in Italy, thanks to a centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship: and thanks to the workshopbased structure of the master's course, all the practical aspects of the subject can also be explored in depth, through projects developed in collaboration with international designers and professionals in the sector, together with a deep understanding of the managerial process.

From theory to practice, a Master's course unlike any other awaits you, in which you will work as much with your mind as with your hands, combining experimentation and tradition, technology and craftsmanship, prototype and industrial production, in direct collaboration with some of the biggest companies in the sector.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
