History

The school was founded in Milan in 1935 by the tailor Giulio Marangoni, and became a Scuola Professionale Artistica or "professional art school" in 1942.[1] At first the school trained mainly pattern makers and seamstresses; in the 1970s and 1980s it turned towards fashion design, product development and marketing.[2]:185

A London branch was opened in a former textile factory at 30 Fashion Street, Spitalfields, in 2003,[3][4][5] and a Paris branch opened in 2006.[6] A branch in Via de' Tornabuoni in central Florence opened in 2016.[7] In China, branches were opened in Shanghai in 2013, and in Shenzhen in 2016.[8] The Group opened its first school in India, in Mumbai, in July 2017.[9]

In 2010 there were about 2200 students of 70 nationalities in three campuses.[10]

In 2011 Career Education Corporation sold the Istituto Marangoni to Providence Equity Partners for a price estimated between 17 and 20 million dollars.[11]

Accreditation

Since June 2016 the Istituto Marangoni has been listed by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, the Italian ministry of education, among the institutions authorised to award degrees in music, dance and arts.[12]

In the UK, its BA and MA programmes are validated by the Manchester Metropolitan University,[13][14][15] which also awards master's degrees at the Paris branch.[16] A three-year fashion stylist course in Paris is approved by the Commission nationale de la certification professionnelle.[17]

Alumni of the school include Franco Moschino,[18] Domenico Dolce (who left after four months, believing that the school had nothing to teach him),[19][18] Alessandra Facchinetti,[18] Julie de Libran,[20] Rahul Mishra,[21] Rafael Lopez,[18] Sandra Mansour, and Alessandro Sartori.[22]
