Shaping Tomorrow's Fashion Leaders Through Exclusive University Collaborations

Enhance your curriculum with Fashion for Futures

Since 2016, Fashion for Futures has partnered with leading universities and high schools across global fashion capitals like New York, Milan, Paris, and Florence. We work alongside your institution to elevate your already outstanding curriculum by providing students with exclusive, real-world experiences that go beyond the classroom.

Through our collaborations, students engage directly with the fashion industry by participating in high-profile events, runway shows, exhibitions, and workshops. These hands-on experiences, guided by industry experts in fashion design, PR, business, and sustainability, empower students to build practical portfolios that demonstrate their creativity and professionalism.

Many of our university partners have integrated our programs into their academic frameworks, offering students internship credits, CFU (Crediti Formativi Universitari), or similar academic recognition for their participation. This allows students to not only gain real-world fashion experience but also to meet graduation requirements as they build their professional portfolios.
