There are passions that slowly grow into the heart of people, and fashion is certainly one of these. Some guys pursue this passion from the beginning, others linger in different ambitions and then re-enter the abandoned road. However, at some point, it is time to choose the new training course in line with the student’s needs. Is it better a fashion school or a fashion institute? What’s the difference between the two? In this article we try to clarify the terminology used in the fashion education sector.<\/p>\n

Fashion seen from outside<\/h2>\n

The working areas within the fashion industry are many<\/strong> and interconnected<\/strong>. Often, when the word “fashion” is pronounced, what is truly emanating in people’s minds is the magical world of runways<\/strong> and the Milan Fashion Week<\/strong>. Suitably packaged clothing<\/strong> that floats in the air hanging on sinuous moving figures; Charismatic designers<\/strong> who, with their esteem, make the Made in Italy more valuable; Celebrities<\/strong> and fashion bloggers<\/strong> who are wearing the latest news from the most famous brands, attracting the followers. Fashion is also this, but not only.<\/p>\n

Fashion is synonymous of creativity, media power, craftsmanship, business skills, communication and industry. For each operating area, it is necessary to have professional<\/strong> skills<\/strong> and competence<\/strong>, and skills acquired during an appropriate training period and in the field. According to the preferred field, therefore, the student will have to choose which course to undertake and which structure to attend.<\/p>\n

But here comes the first problems and the first existential questions: to find work after bachelor<\/a> degree of three years, should I opt for a fashion school or for a fashion institute? Is the quality level the same? But is the fashion school the equivalent of the English fashion school? All of these questions have been heard in our experience at \u00a0Milano Fashion Institute and this is why we have decided to make it clearer and dispel some myth.<\/p>\n

Perceived and Effective Differences<\/h2>\n

The student career is made up of several phases and all are focused on achieving a certain goal<\/strong>. The student knows that pursuing his dreams in today’s society – so deciding to work in only one sector \u2013 it is not easy and needs study, practice, direct contact with the world of work and emotional unblock. To reach the final goal, the student must look around<\/strong>, analyze the various means<\/strong> available in the society and find the institute able to support<\/strong> him adequately. It is therefore of fundamental importance not to go back in front of banality such as the name<\/strong> of the school in which you would like to enroll.<\/p>\n

The main problem is in the perception<\/strong> that people have of certain words. It seems that “school” is less effective than “institute”, while fashion school sounds cooler and more innovative, probably because it comes from a different culture than the Italian one. But let’s clear the issue about the denominations in more detail:<\/p>\n
