Undergraduate Course in Fashion Accessory Design - Made in Italy

It is a well-established fact that fashion accessories support most of the luxury fashion garment industry. The
Accademia, over the past several years, has been able to place many graduates in Italian luxury accessory
design companies.

From the first year of study a diversity of bag shapes and styles as well as a variety of construction
techniques are explored and experimented with. The duality of traditional handcrafting techniques and the
new computer aided design.

The second year of the course is dedicated to footwear. It is essential that students experience all stages of
shoes production fully as to enable design, experimentation and realisation of a viable product.

What characterises this course and in particular the third year is the experimentation and personal
development. As we have seen that many luxury fashion brands have taken the design of eyewear “in house”
third year students study the design process of this exciting specialisation working with industry specialists
in this sector.
