WHY NOT PLAN YOUR FASHION COURSE IN FLORENCE
AT POLIMODA ?


Polimoda's Summer Special Department can organise for you during June and July a program to enter the world of fashion or to strengthen your knowledge and educational background.

One of Polimoda's additional skills is that of being able to devise and plan and execute tailor-made Fashion programmes to suit your groups needs exactly and down to the last detail.

Why a special program ?
- Because in the normal catalogue you don't find what you need
- Because the scheduling doesn't match with your time-plan


Why during summer?
- Because it is the perfect time to see Florence at its very best, when it is literally bulging with activities - cultural, artistic, social, sporting.
- Because as pressure eases of on the main Polimoda courses,
top quality Polimoda teachers become available to cater to specific group needs.

We have satisfied fashion groups from USA, Japan ,S Korea etc coming back time and time again.

One great formula is that fashion teachers accompanying groups get a special course while their students follow another Polimoda program.

Don't forget we are coupled up with other top Fashion Schools in Europe and we can suggest /coordinate a special fashion study tour covering 1 or several countries if you wish.

The programs can be really fashion niche orientated as well.

The staff of the Summer Special Department is ready to collect all your requests, needs and particular requirements in order to help you mapping out the personalized training course most suited to your goals and preferences.

Following you will find some examples to give you an idea of what we are able to do:
