Scuola di Moda: Istituto Carlo Secoli

The president of Istituto Secoli, Stefano Secoli, taught me a lesson on how the Italians go about their way as to what the fashion industry needs. This school of fashion design, and the production that goes into a runway show, is very close in line with the industry where students are able to go from drawing boards to pattern making leading to designing collections that are viewed on an actual models on the runway.

"Great Minds Think Alike"

 Two runway shows put on by graduating students at the Istituto di Carlo Secoli with such new and innovative designs that are foreign to the eyes and giving fashion a new meaning.

 Sectors make fashion; but what is fashion? Fashion can be what people are looking for such as the quality, fit, or an overall innovative and refreshing unique piece of garment that suits a person's image. There are two parts in which fashion breaks in two: Atelier and industry. Atelier being the couture side with its 1-by-1 production as opposed to industry which produces more than one piece of clothing at a time that are made "ready to wear." Both sides share the common ground of putting on runway shows: It is only way to present collections to people in the industry and it is a key point in making it less easy for others to imitate.

The world of fashion design is what makes this industry grow and evolve to where it is today. I want to be a part of this kind of work where I am able to influence the way that people dress. Fashion design can take on many shapes and forms: it can be anything that you want it to be.
