Learning by doing is the principle at the root of the three-year courses at Raffles Milano, a training experience that structures the mind, provides a solid technical foundation, and unleashes a desire to broaden your life horizons.
Why?
The fashion system is a huge, articulated, and sometimes unpredictable territory, where a sense for the classics manages to find common ground with the extremes of experimentation. There is no fool-proof recipe for success: it takes a readiness to work hard, together with the curiosity to learn and to measure up to the outside world and its thousands of cultures: haute couture, pop, ethnic, etc. It takes a really sharp eye – that has to be trained – capable of noticing the tiniest detail. An eye that is familiar with traditional methods of tailoring, but is not too sconed to suggest an impudent elegance.
Design lecturers

They have a wide and truly international vision.They are part of a cohesive and productive group, and they love discussing the progress of courses, the opportunities that present themselves on the run, and the performance of individual students.

Every Monday evening at 6.00 p.m., Raffles Milano invites its students to meet one of the major personalities who walk the stage of design, style, and design culture. Hearing the stories and ideas that influence the market and drive our mindset – straight from the horse’s mouth – is an amazing opportunity that adds substance to our academic programs. Here is the agenda of meetings for the coming year.
European Union and EFTA students can be considered for an adjustment of their tuition fees if they provide proof of their incomes.
