Master u Dizajnu i Poslovanju Modom

Ten extraordinary months, with teachers of international standing. A unique opportunity to learn directly from the protagonists. Master Raffles Milano: finally someone thought about it.

Course leader: Arthur Arbesser, Fashion Designer

Born and raised in Vienna, Arthur was immediately fascinated by the culture and history of the city, whose architectural dynamism and heritage of applied arts still remain a great source of inspiration for him today. At Central Saint Martins College for Art and Design, he quickly develops his aesthetic, supported by new knowledge of the London art scene. Immediately after graduating he moved to Milan and began working in the Giorgio Armani team, where he remained for seven years. In February 2013, Arthur launched his own brand. In 2015, at the second edition of the prestigious LVMH award, he is part of the circle of seven finalists and, in June of the same year, he participates as a guest designer at PITTI Immagine in Florence. In addition to his namesake brand, Arthur collaborates with companies such as Apple, Silhouette Eyewear, HEM and YOOX. The complex new challenge of designing costumes for the 2018 Vienna New Year's Ballet and the Berlin State Opera gave him a new creative impetus. Today he is internationally known as one of the most promising designers, who expresses himself through a very personal and sophisticated style, embellished with lively graphics and a careful choice of fabrics, with which his silhouettes bring out the charm of a sensual modernity.

Because?

Fashion is education in beauty, the ability to express thoughts and emotions, the most direct manifestation of the contemporary. Colors, shapes and materials in perfect harmony. It is the liveliest of art forms, which lives on people, in real life. As in a great play, the staging is fundamental in the game of seduction, but the part cannot stand for the whole. To be able to win back an increasingly stressed and probably confused consumer, it is necessary to return to the substance through a thorough technical preparation.

Student of the year

At the end of each academic year, RM awards the best talent of each year of the course.

The recognition is given to the student who, for academic career and portfolio, has distinguished himself in the evaluation of both a commission of internal teachers and that of a commission of external professionals, called in this case to judge a portfolio guaranteed by anonymity.

Project teachers

Learning directly from the protagonists means acquiring the most advanced visions and methods at the source. Unlike traditional Masters, the Raffles Milano Masters bring knowledge into the classroom thanks to 10 professionals at the top of the market who take turns in the classroom over the ten months.

Each professional spends a month with the students. 8 months of 4 weeks and 2 months of 3 weeks.

For each week there is a 6-hour day and an 8-hour day of lessons with the professional.

At the end of each month the student receives an evaluation on the project carried out.

Some of the professionals could be replaced during the Master, with other professionals at the top of the market, keeping the level of the international Faculty unchanged.

• Maria Walter Nielsen
• Andrea Cammarosano
• Maxence Dinant
• Cem Cako
• Sabrina Klaziena / Fischer
• Virginia / Diletta Ratti / Albertini
• Mauro Ballette
• Marco Sammicheli

Method teachers

There are also theoretical knowledge and skills that are not learned in the race and require ad hoc study. It is not known when they will be able to serve, but one thing is certain: they will serve.

For this reason, students have during the 10 months 200 hours of lessons with the method teachers, the lessons are distributed during the 10 months of the Master.

Some of the method teachers could be replaced during the Master, keeping the Faculty level unchanged.

• Matteo Balza
• Brais Vilaso (Editor)
• Ilenia Durazzi
• Maki Gherzi (Director)

Raffles Talks

Every Monday evening, at 6.30 pm Raffles Milano invites students to meet a great figure from the design scene, style and culture of the project. Listening live to the stories and ideas that influence the market and advance our mindsets is an opportunity of great depth, which complements academic programs.

The School that wasn't there.

The one that the market had been demanding for such a long time. The one that breaks down the walls between fashion and design, between teacher and student, between past and future. The one that thinks and speaks in the language of the 14 countries in which it operates. The one in order to bring up the best students has chosen the best maestros.

The school which is now here.

The one where they teach you to face up to challenges that nobody has even thought about yet. The one where you test yourself to your limits and learn to play your side of the game...with the sense of the limits. The one where they speak your language... and another 13 too! The one you will never one to leave.

Raffles Milano Istituto Moda e Design

A new fashion and design school in Milan? Yes, and its name is Raffles Milano Istituto Moda e Design. A school with an unconventional spirit and method. A school designed for students who intend to look the future straight in the eye. And above all, a school that has gathered together a formidable team of lecturers, in many cases leading names on the international style and design scene.

On the starting blocks, there are our Three-year Courses in Product Design, Visual Design, and Fashion design, in Italian and English, and a series of Masters to learn from the leaders.

The strength of a network with no boundaries

RM Milano comes to strengthen the existing international Raffles Group network, established more than 25 years ago in Singapore and now expanding energetically, with 26 colleges in 14 countries.

The decision to include ‘Milano’ in the name reflects our striving for excellence and our profound affinity with a city that has long been recognized as the world capital of design culture.

A school that gives a lot more

The education method used by Raffles Milano draws its inspiration from the practice of the Renaissance workshop and aims at doing real work on real projects for real clients.

From day one, lecturers and students are involved in a relationship with no separating walls.

Lecturer-student dialogue, a constant quest for new paths and secure foundations for a process of individual and team growth that trains students for tomorrow by preparing them to experience it as a natural evolution of today. Students learn to measure up to the dreams and aspirations of the future.

A school that is already a job

Raffles Milano is the school that was not there, but that companies have been demanding for such a long time, just as strong in the field of practice as in the area of theory.

All our projects have a purpose, a context, a stock of resources, a background of previous experience, a series of reasons why they happen, and, of course, a series of walls to breakthrough. This is what our students breathe in with every step they take.

The foundation stone of our didactic paths is the working world. In our Three-year Courses, students learn by doing, achieving the closest bond between theory and practice, between idea and execution. In our Master's courses, students meet directly with the leading names in the market in the lecture room and have the chance to work with them side by side.
