The Secoli Method

Our motto is "Creativity in the clothing industry is expressed by means of the garment." 

For this reason, even to graduate students from other countries, we propose learning the entire fashion design process at our Institute: from fashion sketches, patterns, sample garments and prototypes to pattern grading and sizing. 

Using the Secoli Method to transform a designer's idea into a perfectly designed and executed product is a form of art. Learning how to design a garment and a collection, as well as learning about the processes and techniques of the modern fashion industry, are skills you can learn at Istituto Secoli, where diverse expertise continually enriches specific competences. 

Most importantly, true creativity must always measure itself up to the concrete realities of technology and the market, otherwise the idea just remains on paper.
