Fashion and design school Istituto Marangoni is tapping into Saudi Arabia’s appetite for fashion, luxury education by opening a new campus in Riyadh.
Stefania Valenti, global managing director of Istituto Marangoni; His Excellency vice minister of culture Hamed bin Mohammed Fayez; Burak Çakmak, chief executive officer of the Fashion Commission of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture.On Tuesday, the fashion and design education institution signed a memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture through its Saudi Fashion Commission arm for the development of a higher training institute in Riyadh.
“As we inaugurate Istituto Marangoni in Riyadh, we herald a transformative era for local talent within the burgeoning creative landscape of our region,” said Burak Çakmak, the Saudi Fashion Commission’s chief executive officer. The combined studies showed a high interest in the industry coming especially from young women, as well as their families’ preference of having them study locally and not being forced to move abroad to pursue their education.
“There are plenty of American and English groups investing in the area, especially in retail by opening malls for one, as well as many Italian brands,” Valenti said. “So we’re looking to train students in retail and buying, in addition to our core, like fashion design.
Classes at the campus will be offered in English, with the main three-year academic program available in areas such as fashion design, fashion management, fashion product, fashion styling and creative direction, to name a few. Students will have the opportunity to choose whether to complete the program in Riyadh and embark on a six-month internship during their last year or complete studies for a bachelor degree at any international Istituto Marangoni outpost.
