Polimoda doubles and diversifies.
In 2001 alongside the Polimoda campusPOLIMODA SRL arises in order to provide high level training, personnel recruitment and consulting services companies that operate in the fashion sector.
The Polimoda Srl project is involved with 30 leading fashion companies; from Gucci to Tod's, from La Rinascente to Lineapiù, reaching the French at Sildorex and the Japanese at Shima. The motive for this alliance is to provide the business world with updated and well-specialized people. In return the Polimoda srl shareholders advise the Polimoda Group what to teach, provide internships on a regular basis and generally support the development of the School.
That is why, in the Polimoda company, 51% of the sharing goes to Ent-Art Polimoda (the "School" ) while the remaining 49% belongs to the Company Shareholders.
In the fashion training industry, at this level , it's the only experiment of its type in Europe.
