Inspired by Italy’s cultural heritage, SDA Bocconi School of Management shows its expertise in three of the highlights of Italian Excellence, namely the arts, fashion and design and food and beverage. |
“My commitment is to build on the trusted heritage of the MAFED and maintaining its leadership position at international levels, so that it can make a real difference for your next job.
My promise is to make your experience through this journey unforgettable, not only because of the excellent program we are designing for you, but also thanks to the unique contributions of our impressive partner companies, and an alumni network that is going to represent a major asset for the rest of your personal and professional life.”
“Young generations of customers today seek fashion with a purpose, the integration of craftsmanship and technology allows tradition and innovation to merge into a single paradigm, while traditionally product-driven companies are becoming more experience-focused.
Although the fashion and design business landscape rapidly evolves, one thing stays still: companies that want to make their business competitive are constantly looking for competent talents. I pledge to offer you a full-time master’s program that combines creativity with a strong and rigorous managerial approach, making the MAFED experience an unforgettable life-changing journey.”
"MAFED is not just an educational journey, but it is also an extraordinary, enriching and emotional experience in the future of fashion, customer experience and design management.
I am excited to walk with the students towards a life-changing learning opportunity in highly creative industries, bringing my authentic passion for an incredibly fast-growing sector where it becomes increasingly relevant to acquire solid managerial skills and an entrepreneurial mindset."
If I were to think of one word to describe the MAFED journey, it would be - extraordinary. This year was truly not ordinary. Here, I am not only addressing the covid-19 and the extraordinary circumstances we started this year but also the extraordinary learnings, life experiences, and friendships we gained. Since we joined the program, we had the opportunity to learn about 22 courses spanning management, marketing, finance, fashion, and digital fields. We were extraordinarily lucky not only to learn about these topics through our amazing professors but also through more than 30 other industry leaders. Nonetheless, there were the extraordinary times spent as a group together – the celebrations, trips, including Paris, Madrid, Vicenza, company visits, late studies, and many group projects in which we laughed, cried and in the end celebrated all the learnings. I cannot thank enough our amazing Program Director Emanuela Prandelli, all the professors, guest speakers, other valuable members of the MAFED community and my classmates for making the past year extraordinary and for giving me the confidence and knowledge to overcome future challenges in the industry and the society we leave in.
What is the Milano advantage?
The Milano advantage is having the privilege to study in the fashion capital of the world. The city gives you access to so many events, locations, and people that you would not have access to in any other city.
What has impressed you most about the SDA Boccon MAFED?
What has impressed me most is the network the program has built and shares with its students. Students have the opportunity to utilize this network and have exceptional company visits that you would not get to do with any other school or program. In addition, the diversity of the student body is impressive, with over 20 nationalities present in the class, which makes for a great learning environment.
Why would you recommend the SDA Bocconi MAFED?
I would recommend it because it offers unparalleled knowledge about the fashion industry, and so many doors to enter the industry, especially for students like myself who have no fashion background. In addition, you get experiences that you would never get at other schools such as luxury company visits, networking cocktails, and guest speakers coming from a multitude of different companies. Being in Milan is like no other experience - being in the center of luxury gives you experiences like no other.
