At the beginning of this year I decided to take on a new adventure and to move to Milan to pursue a Master in Fashion, Design and Experience Management MAFED at SDA Bocconi.
As the lasts week of my master’s degree are approaching and with my graduation set for next month, I wanted to look back at some special moments throughout this year.
During this master, I got acquainted with many subjects, from corporate finance, to buying to CRM and many more. Within these subjects, I have had the opportunity to meet many important people from the fashion industry, from brands such as Fendi, Valentino, Moncler, Prada Group and Hermès, who shared a look into their professional career and useful insights from the industry. Moreover, working on branded projects together with my classmates, provided me with first-hand experiences.
These experiences not only took place in Milan, but together with the rest of the class, we have travelled to Paris and New York to take part in fashion-related activities. Furthermore, we have been invited to the CHANEL Métiers D’Art Fashion Show in Florence, which was an incredible opportunity.
All of the above mentioned moments, have shaped my master’s into a multi-faceted, creative and insightful experience.
Today, together with my fellow teammates Nicole Degreas, Cecilia Pierobon and Marilena Cozzi, we are finishing up our last group project for Bottega Veneta.
I am proud of my achievements thus far, grateful for the many friendships, the opportunities I received and am excited for what my future holds.
Lastly, I would like to thank Emanuela Prandelli, the director of MAFED for the amazing opportunities, Lucia Paladino for organising our trips to Paris and New York, and to my professors for providing me with useful insights and preparing me for my professional career.
