MASTER SCHOOL – VIA DELLA RONDINELLA, IN THE HEART OF ROME

Accademia Costume & Moda houses its Master’s program headquarters in the historic center of Rome, directly facing the iconic Castel Sant’Angelo and just steps away from Piazza Navona. Located in the Villino designed in 1925 by architect Vincenzo Fasolo, this exclusive venue offers students a unique educational environment, with large windows overlooking the vibrant heart of the city, state-of-the-art tailoring workshops, shooting rooms, and spaces dedicated to artisanal creativity and experimentation in high fashion.

From the moment they arrive, students are immersed in a singular atmosphere as they ascend the staircase leading to the upper floors. The large windows along the way provide breathtaking views of Rome’s beauty, revealing its splendor as the light and colors shift throughout the day. This ever-changing panorama continuously inspires creativity and reflects the city’s vibrant soul.

Rome is not only a city of immense beauty and history but also a privileged hub for advanced research and education. Students gain access to an unparalleled cultural heritage, including prestigious theatrical costume ateliers, historical archives, and artisanal workshops that embody the tradition and innovation of “Made in Italy.” The Academy’s tailoring workshops are designed to provide an immersive hands-on experience, where traditional techniques meet the contemporary demands of the fashion and costume industries.

Studying in the historic center of Rome offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse oneself in a fusion of culture, aesthetics, and professional expertise. The city itself becomes a living laboratory, with every corner telling a story and inspiring creativity. Fashion houses such as Bulgari, Fendi, and Valentino, which have chosen Rome as their creative or managerial base, strengthen the connection between education and industry excellence. This unique context accompanies students throughout their professional careers, bringing the essence and experience of Rome to the world.

FABRICS ARCHIVE

The Fabric Archive of Accademia Costume & Moda is a “fabrics library“. It was created with the objective to enable the students to acnkoweldge the importance and relevance of “materials“. This knowledge allows competitive advantage and enhance the skill set that we are transferring to our students, in order to facilitate more and more careers placement. It gives the students the opportunity to research, sample and study and is  constantly updated thanks to the support of some the most important textile manufacturers, excellence of Made in Italy.

In the years the Accademia has benefited of the advice and support of a true professional, alumnus Marco Mastroianni, Responsable Création Matières chez Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs, who helped with his experience, his generosity and counseling school’s didactics in a very decisive manner, not only easing the relations with the Industry, but also in guiding our students.

Inspiration comes also from the knowledge of  “fabrics”,  of all different treatments that nobilitate textile manufacturing and development and render Italian industrial craftsmanship (textile, tanneries etc) a point of reference in the world. It is for these reasons that some of the most important companies of the Industry have believed in the Project Accademia and as “Patrons”, have borrowed their excellent craftsmanship knowledge to the Accademia and in some cases even developed and realized the creative ideas of the students with regards to fabrics, prints, embroidery and processing, providing all form of support and product, yarns, fur etc.

The Fabrics Archive has been developed thanks to the generosity of  Alesilk, Gentili Mosconi, Lanificio di Sordevolo,  Ostinelli Seta.
