Fabio MARANGONI
President, Istituto Marangoni
Fabio Marangoni is president of the Marangoni School, one of the most important educational facilities of the fashion sector at the world level. After receiving a degree in modern literature from the state university in Milan, Marangoni became the general director of the institution in 1983. The school's courses cover all fields, including the creative, organizational and commercial sides. In addition to its activities in education and training in the fashion sector, the school, operated by three generations of the Marangoni family, offers students a series of services, including placement, which puts students in touch with the most important companies in the field. Each year about 520 companies and designers use this service, which is able to secure employment for more than 90% of Marangoni's new graduates. The school plans to focus its know-how on the development of this service. This new challenge has been posed as a bid to involve in an increasingly extensive and more organized way the companies of the entire fashion sector.
