01/05/2019
Florence-based fashion school Polimoda is offering 14 scholarships to LVMH Institut des Métiers d’Excellence (IME)’s Leather+ training programme.

Classes will take place at Polimoda Design Lab in Scandicci which gives students access to local manufacturers, laboratories and teaching facilities.

It is the third time that the school and the luxury group have collaborated on the programme.

“Craftsmanship and technology are two vital components of the fashion product, which are essential to Made in Italy, indispensable to the world of luxury,“ said Danilo Venturi, director of Polimoda.

“Excellence is determined by that perfect mix of technical skill and artistic sensibility, in which the human element has an irreplaceable value. 

“Through education, we have the pleasure and responsibility of passing on this knowledge and know-how.

"Polimoda has chosen to invest in cultivating new experts and accompanying them towards a future of innovation, supported by industry leaders such as LVMH.”
