Study fashion, discover the career for you, invest in your future. The choice of a course or a Masters degree is an important step in developing your career, but it is not always easy to make a choice from the many options available.
The Polimoda Open Day can help: the Institute opens its doors for three days during which you can visit the premises, attend lectures and workshops and discover the high standards of Polimoda. The Open Day also provides an opportunity for Polimoda students and businesses to meet and discuss the possibilities of an internship. And our street casting event also provides a chance for aspiring male and female models to be selected for Polimoda’s 2010 fashion show.
Some statistics from our last Open Day: 400 visitors, 9 schools and Italian and foreign technical institutes, 31 businesses, 32 speakers for the lectures, 10 journalists, 80 street casting participants. Proof of a successful formula now in its third edition. (see the Open Day 2009 photo gallery)
Join us if you dream of a career in the world of fashion: it is the ideal opportunity to get to know the Institute, meet fashion professionals and choose the career and course that interest you most.
We look forward to meeting you on 25, 26 and 27 March in the Polimoda centres. It is easy to sign up: simply write to orientation@polimoda.com, or call us on 055 7399628.
Take part in the public lectures on fashion, marketing and communication to be held in the Limonaia on Thursday and Friday. Well-known guests, fashion experts and the staff of Polimoda will be taking part.
