Blended classroom phase: 21 October to 9 December 2024
39 hours of online lessons
48 hours of in-person lectures at Achille Pinto Factory
Project work: developing a project following the outline provided by the company Achille Pinto. The projects will be viewed by the style office and if one of them should appear interesting to the fashion coordinator, it will be put into production and proposed to leading companies in the sector.
Italian Design Institute offers students the opportunity to print a 90X90 scarf, using the design created in the project work phase.
The Master's course is open to all recent graduates or diploma holders in art or related disciplines who wish to broaden their knowledge, approach or deepen their understanding of design and
of printing on fabric, in order to learn fundamental notions and techniques.
IDI's innovative training pathway in Textile Design, in a blended formula, is an advanced master's degree that, through a didactic approach that is as close as ever to the realities of business, aims to create an increasingly in-demand figure of Fashion/Textile designers who, equipped with an all-round professional culture, are able to combine technical skills in materials and graphics with the construction of final forms, thanks to the glue of colour and an understanding of predictive trends. The lecturers, competent professionals in the sector, will face with the students a transversal path of "worlds and fashions", of great emotional impact, as well as functional and logistical, where emotion precedes and then significantly translates into ideas. The alternation of online and face-to-face lessons, with "immersions" in real working activity, aims to build "work tables" differentiated by professionalism and sectors, thanks to the cognitive and communicative power achieved. Visits by illustrious testimonials and company approaches are envisaged, preluding a form of internship preparatory to concrete insertion in work activities, connecting this with one's talent and propensity. The students will thus be enabled to put into practice the skills acquired in the realisation of a stylistic/professional project work, focused on the translation and effective consolidation of the notions acquired. At the end of the experiences, thus broadened and transversal, the students will be able to design personal and original ideas, expressing both their stylistic and technical creativity.
The aim of the Master's programme in textile design - innovative fashion of the Italian Design Institute is to train professionals in the field of textiles, design and prints.
It is a professional figure who is of fundamental support to the creative direction in designing the collections.
The students will enrich their knowledge in the field of Fashion Textile, relating this to a general understanding of the fashion scene. They will learn to use in an advanced, professional and autonomous way, the most widely used programmes of the leading companies in the sector, Photoshop and Illustrator, in order to design their own concept and thus express their talent. Above all, they will learn to recognise their emotions, rationalise ideas, share and communicate.

Producers in the supply chain need highly professional figures, capable of conceptualising, designing, managing and dialoguing, at every level, with all the figures involved in the production of 'collections' of clothing, furniture/interiors, furnishing complements and accessories, as well as specific sectors of use (denim world, beach world...). At the end of the course, students will thus be able to work as fashion textile designers, style and fashion consultants and/or more specific figures such as fashion graphic designers. They will be able to work as freelancers or in style and product offices, as well as in management/logistics offices for the advancement of 'collections'.
Fill out the information request form and we will contact you within a few days. In the selection of candidates the scholastic CV, work experience and motivational letter will be considered.
