Introduction
The Academic Master in Fabrics Innovation Design is addressed to graduates willing to enrich their curriculum with a study path focused on culture, creativity research innovation, and fabrics development, one of the most challenging and fast-growing fields of the entire fashion industry.

The Master's course centers the entire study path on the theme of textile innovation and research.

Curriculum
The course is structured in modules that include classes and workshops. The classes are focused on the history of fashion (especially of materials), new technologies, typology of materials, computer graphics, and management abilities.
The workshops, instead, involve the participation of the most important companies in the field. Every workshop has the aim of unifying technical competencies, conceptual research, experimentation, and development of the final product. An essential part of the course consists in the Industry Projects, special projects in collaboration with the best textile companies in Made in Italy and of visits to museums of fashion/textiles and to national and international fairs. Visiting teachers and the study of specific Case Histories contribute to tickle the critical thought and the debate on the present state of the field and the challenges that characterize it.
To enrich their curriculum, students are also involved in a curricular internship taking place during the year of the course.
At the end of this articulate study path the student, besides his creative growth will acquire cultural knowledge and practical competencies on the fibers (naturals, artificials, and synthetic), yarns, textiles and their embellishments, embroideries, dyeing processes, silk-screen printing, digital printing, thermoforming, thermo-sealing, high-frequency fusion, ultrasounds, etc.
The final project consists of the presentation of a complete collection of fabrics made with different techniques characterized by conceptual and explorative research, primary and secondary visual research, and by the description of all the processes of making.
