Our enthusiasm is the fuel we burn to do good, adopting a light-hearted approach to tackling the most intricate situations and tight deadlines. Creativity is the antenna that enables us to get there a split second ahead of the others, capturing trends and how taste evolves. Enthusiasm and creativity are at the source of stylistic and visual design. Without them everything becomes so much more difficult, as well as predictable.

About this course

Challenging the competition with your ideas. Creating your own brand. Taking a gamble with your own abilities and starting your own business. Casting off your fears.

At the root of this Masters is the aim to create the people who will make the market of tomorrow tick, with the ability to understand, to do and to decide.

This Masters is intended for all those who feel they are visionary, open to everything new and to the language of emotions in the various different fields of work related to image and fashion, and interested in a career as a creative director. More specifically, it welcomes students who have developed a particular awareness of materials and how they can be used in visual design projects. Professional experience in the fields of exhibition design, installations, visual merchandising and the wedding and fashion business are plus points.

The maximum number of students that can enrol in each of our Masters courses is 20.

Candidates are selected in two phases. The first selection is a screening based on the documentation received from the student. If the application meets the requirements, an individual interview is arranged with the Course Leader.

The candidate’s evaluation takes in consideration all the elements that contribute to an individual’s profile into consideration: portfolio, previous studies, work experience, extracurricular activities and letters of presentation.

Course leader: Giuseppe Patanè, Creative director

Giuseppe Patanè took his diploma from the Artistic High School in Catania, then studied fabrics and theatrical costume at the Catania Academy of Fine Arts. After completing his studies, he took his first creative steps in his native Sicily, first as a display manager and visual merchandiser, then as a stylist, designer and art director in a variety of European showrooms. This career led him to work as a stylist for off-the-peg collections for women with important international brands before becoming creative director of the brand for women and bridal wear that bears his own name, which débuted in 1996. In his creations, he draws on the atmospheres of his personal Sicily and on the idea of a sensual Mediterranean woman. In the course of his career, he has designed stands and display windows for the most influential brands in the fields of fashion, automotive, jewellery and furniture. His studio in Catania, housed in a period villa with a view to Mount Etna and the sea, is the creative hub of a network of more than twenty showrooms and boutique in Europe and the Middle and Far East.
