In 2008 the Design Faculty at Milan Polytechnic will begin a close collaboration with the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York as part of an agreement signed by the two schools that runs until 2012.

The exchange will include cooperation between lecturers and the selection of students to carry out semesters of study abroad. The new Fashion Design degree course, which is at the centre of the project, aims to combine technical and creative skills to train students in the whole “fashion system-product” that goes from the design of clothing and accessories to packaging, display and communication. To support this new study programme at the Bovisa Campus, the Laboratori Strumentali system has been extended to include Laboratori Modelli, Laboratori di Magliera and Virtual Prototyping. S.M.
