Domus Academy's Masters in Fashion Design was born in Milan in 1983, at the centre of a Fashion System which is unique all over the world and recognised at the international level, in which the creativity of the fashion designers, the production capacity, the quality of both fabrics and confection, the business ability and the innovations of both retailing and communication are all integrated. Studying Fashion Design in Italy is consequently a unique experience which allows to get in contact directly with this world, its main actors and events. In fact, only in Italy, and more precisely in Milan, it is possible to perceive and to analyse the evolution of a Fashion System among the most complex and articulated. MFD proposes an integrated approach between creative, cultural, productive and marketing aspects. This is possible through a constant dialogue with the experts operating in those sectors. The final objective is to contribute to the development of professional characters able to successfully express their own creativity and to face in an adequate way the evolution of the challenges present in the field.

Domus Academy's Master in Accessories Design grows out of the 20 years of teaching experience accumulated in our Fashion Design program. The world of accessories has always been viewed as a conceptual borderland, as far as its original formative heritage is concerned; drawing partly from the nature of Design as an object which is not created on the body, yet belonging partly to the culture of Fashion, to its rhythms, its "laws", at least as far as its major successes are concerned. If, by accessories, we mean all the things "revolving" around clothing and people and if we draw a hypothetical list: handbags, small leather goods, shoes, eyewear, gloves, belts, jewels, hats, scarves... we immediately understand how diverse are the natures of these elements, while, at the same time, how they exist, now more than ever, inserted in a specific system, the fashion system. These are elements which not only compose the style of a person, they tend even to define this person just as much or more so than clothes do.
