About the Program

Explore fashion design and production in one of the world’s top fashion cities this summer—Rome! You’ll explore both the theoretical and the practical aspects of contemporary Italian fashion production. Field trips to local museums, exhibitions, and other sites of interests provide context for what you are learning in the classroom.

Our summer program partners with the Accademia di Costume e Moda—a recognized center of excellence in the fields of fashion and costume design education—to provide two fundamental fashion courses. You will enroll in both Fashion and Design courses, and have the option of taking an additional course in Art History at the IES Abroad Center taught by local faculty. The course will help you discover masterpieces in the city, and also analyze how, even in art and architecture, style and design deeply characterize different historical periods.
