Milano.� e undisputed centre of international style and taste.

this is milano, the capital of fashion and design, where the most important fashion houses emerged, grew and still have their headquarters. it is not unusual to bump into hollywood stars and world-famous celebrities, because milano’s appeal goes beyond fashion. it was here that, 78 years ago, the story of istituto marangoni began, accompanying the city in the development of the italian prêt-à-porter industry. the school is located in the bustling heart of the city, just a stone’s throw away from the offi ces of the most important fashion companies and the celebrated via montenapoleone, the world-famous hub of fashion and luxury. a crossroad famous worldwide for its elegant boutiques and for its fashion allure that you can almost touch.
