Milan's Prestigious 'Istituto Marangoni' Will Open in Riyadh

Milan-based Istituto Marangoni, one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious fashion schools, is opening a Higher Training Institute in Riyadh. This program is made possible through a collaboration with the Saudi Fashion Commission, and will offer specialised courses in fashion and luxury. The goal of the program is to develop Saudi talent and strengthen the Kingdom’s fashion, design, and luxury industries. This program is scheduled to open in 2025.

While Istituto Marangoni has campuses around the world, this is their first campus in Saudi Arabia. Riyadh’s new institute will be accredited by the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation, and will offer three-year advanced diplomas in subjects such as Fashion Design, Fashion Management, Fashion Product, Fashion Styling and Creative Direction. The school will also offer training in the management of fragrances and cosmetics, as well as interior design. In the last year of the program, students will have the option of completing their studies in Riyadh in a six-month internship or completing their studies at any international Istituto Marangoni campus, which are located in Milan, Florence, Dubai, Paris, London and Miami.
