MICHELE FAVA
Course attended: Master Buying Management Year 2005
Position filled: Head of the Youth and Sports Department (Rinascente) Torino



"After the internship at La Rinascente, completed in December 2005, I was hired as Head of Department. Now I am in charge of the Youth and Sports Department in Turin.
My experience throughout the program and the internship has been fantastic and I hope, in the future, to be able again to connect with Polimoda."

BEATRICE GENERALI
Marketing Assistant Division Sourcing Target Hardlines
Company: Associated Merchandising Corporation Florence
Course attended: Master marketing and Merchandising
Date of diploma: March 2005


"I received my diploma for the Marketing and Merchandising course in March 2005. Attending this master course was an exciting experience because of the possibility it gave me to be in contact with and have as teachers people who came directly from the fashion industry, thus making it possible for me to come in contact with the "practice' more than the 'theory'.
Now I am only at the beginning of my working career, but thanks to Polimoda's Internship office I had the opportunity to get in contact with AMC, an international company where I started with an internship contract, and then proceeded to a paid position, which is allowing me to keep growing professionally! I am glad to have this opportunity to thank one more time everybody at Polimoda!!"

MONIA SACCHETTA
Pattern Maker
Cipriani Srl
for Ermanno Scervino



"I'm truly satisfied with what I am doing now, which is of course thanks to the professional training I got at school and my own commitment! I graduated in Pattern Making in 2001 and now I'm a pattern maker for Ermanno Scervino and I have already had the pleasure of participating in the creation of three lines.
I'm at the beginning of my career, but I think that, with hard work and grit, I will manage to grow professionally…"


ANTON GIULIO GRANDE
Stylist and Founder
Anton Giulio Grande Srl


"I attended Polimoda's Fashion Design program and I graduated in 1992. During the three years of the program, the instructors were always professional, the courses well organized, the teaching methods excellent, especially the subjects of draping and production, which have turned out to be very useful in my career as a tailor.
I have applied these methods in my atelier with my employees, both for garments for fashion shows and for clients.
The results of personal and professional success speak for themselves…"

GAIA VENUTI
Accessory Stylist
Patrizia Pepe


"I graduated from Polimoda's Footwear Pattern Making program in 2001.
I had taken several courses in the shoe sector, but at Polimoda I ended the student phase of my life and entered the world of work.
My life as it is now gives my creativity and emotional charge the outlet I need.
Having responsabiliy is risky, but it's also fascinating and stimulating. The satisfaction of walking by a shop window and seeing what you actually created, rather than flipping through a magazine is a one-of-a-kind emotion - pure magic..."

JAN BALJER
Assistant Manager
Production Planning for the Accesories Division
Escada


"I graduated from Design and Knitwear in 1998. As well as having the chance to study Design, Communication, Marketing and Management, Polimoda gives you up-close contact with the reality of Italian fashion industry.
If you have an idea of what you future abilities will be, Polimoda will give you a 100% support in developing you.
When I began my first job, I was already able to apply 100% of what I had learned during three years of studies. "

MASSIMILIANO GIORNETTI
Fashion Designer
Salvatore Ferragamo Italia Spa

Committment, consistency, sacrifice. This is what Polimoda taught me. I graduated from the Menswear program in 1999. I learned to rely on my own efforts, on myself and to improve my weak points. I didn't have an "artistic C.V.," but a scientific and humanistic background. For some it was a drawback, but for Mrs. Appignani (former Director of Polimoda) it was just one of many facets, a starting point for the pursuit of dreams and ideals...
The school pushed me to always do my best. I could use the fantastic library and the cutting-edge facilities that many would envy.
Now, sitting at my desk, I thank all of those who during the two years of the program taught me that working in the world of fashion is passion, dedication...and irony!"

MONIA CHIESURA
Assistant Pattern Maker
B.V.M. Spa Bologna


Enrolling in Polimoda gave me the chance to be part of the fascinating world of fashion. The pattern making program I graduated from in 2000 satisfied all of my expectations. It was challenging and reflected the demands of the companies working in this sector.
And it was the end-of-the-program internship that got me the job in the company I am working for now and in which I have had the opportunity to apply everything I learned..."
