Hi im from Australia and want to move to milan this year to study image consulting/hair and makeup at an academy called 'uptodate' fashion school. I just want to know if anyone has heard of the school and if it is reputable, Im looking for the best fashion schools in italy can anyone help???

Hi!

I studied Fashion Design, in Milan, through the Fashion Institute of Technology, of New York. Anyway, it was a study abroad program, and I was able to improve my Italian skills. I even did an internship.

I have never heard of Uptodate fashion school. There are a few reputable fashion schools in Milan: IEM, Politecnico di Milano, Istituto Marangoni...

But but but why do you want to study in Milan? I heard and saw a lot regarding the quality of fashion education in Milan, and I don't think the city offers the best in Europe. There are many, many legitimate opportunities available.

Thanks mellisa your advice was very much appreciated what are the top fashion schools in newyork/styling schools i am from australia and dont really know where to start looking?

Have a look at Polimoda in Florence. It's reputation has increased since it's new director joined. I think she came from St. Martins in London - which if you are serious about fashion is probably one to look at as it
produced McQueen, Stella McCartney, John Galliano to name a few.

HI - i'm thinking about the Masters in Luxury brand management at Polimoda. do you know about it? or heard anything about it's reputation? Just deciding whether it's worth the experience.
thanks
