TECH LAB

In 1994 Polimoda inaugurated a technology training center to meet the training needs of field specialists, instructors and students participating in professional training courses. It is a point of reference for companies and fashion professionals who want to learn how to use CAD-CAM. The Tech Lab is the most advanced training structure in the field of state-of-the-art fashion technology in Italy. It has 82 graphic workstations in four different laboratories in which it is possible to follow the development of the fashion product from conception to management of the data relative to the whole cycle of production. The entire structure has a 24-hour-a-day Internet connection.

 WGSN (World Global Style Network)
An important working relationship has been established with the English site WGSN. The site is completely free of charge and is dedicated to all fashion, design and textile majors. The World Global Style Network was designed to be a business-to-business instrument whose 250,000 pages are proof of its huge industry success. Polimoda is currently working with WGSN on the inclusion of student-produced projects in the new directory "Generation Now," which each year will give schools the opportunity to introduce their best students to future employers. Seminars and other meetings are planned for the immediate future at the Villa Strozzi campus.
