THE COURSE
Architecture is a privileged tool of those brands characterized by an elevated positioning and that, beyond the quality of their own products, need to feed an imaginary of prestige, style, and refinement. From the showrooms to the stores, fashion needs architects as much as stylists, photographers, and modelers.
For these reasons, the course Architecture for Fashion has been created, with the aim of training designers able to interpret the identity of a brand and to transform it into an architectural space, moving the meanings of exclusivity, luxury and elegance from the dress to the designated environment to exhibit it. By deepening the needs of the fashion world, students will gain skills that can spend in the field of luxury, becoming familiar with a segment of the market characterized by an eternal charm and continuous rewarding opportunities of application.
Throughout the course, participants will focus on technical and compositive topics at the service of fashion, according to a program made up of 76 hours of lessons, 32 hours of workshop, and numerous well-renowned lectures. At the end of the course, YACademy Placement office will guarantee each student a proposal for an internship / collaboration within the partner firms.

Description: The workshop will represent the occasion of practical synthesis to test all the notions available through the other teaching modules, ensuring strategic answers with respect to a real architectonic design. In collaboration with Falconeri, the course will give students the opportunity to work on the project of a new pop-up store for the famous brand of cashmere. Falconeri is a refined and gearing-up brand, oriented to the future, coherently to the imaginary of luxury accessible and inspired to the elegance and quality of material principles. The workshop will also offer the opportunity to reflect on the contemporary value of the store, in a temporality logic, now an axiom of society and of the contemporary fashion system. In a moment characterized by a deep transformation of the space dedicated to the commerce, the workshop would like to reflect on multi-channel topics that are increasingly important in fashion marketing, therefore, on the potentiality of the physical space to represent the moment of the deepest and the most authentic experience of a brand that was known and purchased online. Through a rich and active dialogue with Falconeri’s technical office, students can have a complete and unique experience of composition and design of a sale point for one of the most famous and appreciated brands.
