ENROLL NOW

Fashion is self-expression, and throughout our history, garments have been naturally adopted as canvases of self
expression. Customization is the next step in self-expression.

Many contemporary fashion collaborations have been based on customization : OFF-WHITE, Vetements, Supreme. Levi’s
even offer customization at their Tailorshops inside their stores.

We are looking for a vision of what fashion will look like in 2023. A fashion future that empowers and emboldens the viewer
and the wearer.

So, help contribute to the narrative of your generation: one where crowd funding, sub-cultures and social media platforms
are encouraging the voice of a new generation to create fresh new global perspectives (sustainability; up-cycling etc.)

How to Apply

The Brief

Participants in the Contest are encouraged to tell and interpret a street-style or a sub-culture of their city for a brand of their choice; and to create a visual consumer profile by creating a picture-based representation of the target customer by researching the following questions:

  • What is the name of your target customer?
  • What social media platforms is she/he obsessed with?
  • Where does she/he go on holiday?
  • Where and who does she/he live with?
  • What does she/he do on a Saturday?
  • What kind of job does she/he do?
  • What kind of job does she/he do?
  • What kind of music she/he into?
  • What kind of jeans does she/he wear?
  • What does she/he eat for lunch?

Student Must

  1. Student must apply and be accepted to IMM.
  2. The project itself, presented in a visual format showing the target consumer for the brand selected and the subculture.
  3. A 400-word project description shall be also provided outlining the storytelling elements of the submitted work. The tribe describe the type of person this collection is aimed at. What do they like/do? Bring them to life – a combination of words and pictures.

Originality is important to us. So, we will be looking for a strong design language. Most of all, we’ll be looking for what makes your designs different and what makes them contemporary.

Things to Consider

  • Communication: Ensure that your concept is clear, responds to the brief and stands out from the crowd. Tell us what the story you want to tell is, why you chose the materials and what you want people to think or feel when they see your piece.
  • Wow-factor: what would make people stop on the street and take a picture of your outfit?

Judging Criteria

The academic team at Istituto Marangoni Miami will make all decisions regarding scholarship recipients. Projects will be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:

  • Coherence of objective
  • Level of Innovation
  • Project effectiveness from a functional and aesthetic point of view
  • Overall quality
  • Ability to synthesize information and clarity of the project.

Maintaining Eligibility

Students who reduce their course load below their scholarship requirements (30 Total Credits per

scholarship award. Students must maintain their enrollment throughout their degree program as
any withdrawal from the school will result in forfeiting the scholarship award.

applied to the student balance. Students making late payments risk forfeiting the scholarship.
Tuition scholarship awards are not redeemable for cash and any credit balance that may be
created after all charges and scholarship award, will apply toward the future semester account
balance. No stipends or refunds will be given as a result of credit balances that may be created by
applying scholarship awards.
