Fashion Design Scholarship Guideliness

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 : OFFWHITE, Vetements, Supreme. Levi’s even offer customization at their Tailor Shops inside their stores.

We are looking for a vision of what fashion will look like in 2022. A fashion future that empowers and emboldens the viewer and the wearer.

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

Participants in the contest are encouraged to bring forth their best design ideas and submit their work to us by re-thinking how clothes are made and worn in a post pandemic world in 2022.

  1. Prepare an essay (300-500 words), describing in your own words, how an education at Istituto Marangoni Miami will help you fulfill your educational and professional goals.
  2. Submit five (5) to seven (7) digital pieces of your own most creative and innovative fashion inspired work including drawings or photos. No physical artwork will be accepted.

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.

Fashion Styling Scholarship Guidelines

Fashion is self-expression, and throughout our history, garments have been naturally adopted as canvases of self-expression. Subcultures are the next step in self-expression. A Fashion Stylist requires research methodology, sociological overview and understanding, a taste for culture and subculture with the propensity to perform a personal vision of it, and above all organizational skills.

We believe you need to develop mental imagery, inventiveness, and an aesthetic sensibility to be able to be a fashion stylist. Think of a specific subculture as an inspiration, analyze and study it and then develop your own contemporary interpretation of it. Think of what you see in the magazines or runways right now. By observing what surrounds us and what fascinates our creative soul we train our aesthetic eye, and we develop a sense of style.

Style is not just in the clothes, but we want you to show us how you perceive the theme you chose also in the choice of a location, music, casting, and atmosphere. We are looking for a vision of what fashion will look like in 2020. A fashion future that empowers and emboldens the viewer and the wearer.

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

  1. Participants in the Contest are encouraged to tell and interpret a street-style or a sub-culture of their city; proposals shall include 10 shots or short Instagram video outputs created using a smartphone, a camera or a Polaroid.
  2. Prepare an essay (300-500 words), describing in your own words, how an education at Istituto Marangoni Miami will help you fulfill your educational and professional goals.

Interior Design Scholarship Guidelines

Design is self-expression, and throughout our history, fashion has been intertwined with interior design elements. Interior design has been naturally adopted as canvases of self expression. This allows us to live and be submerged in our own artistic expression.

We are looking for a vision of what Interior Design will look like in 2022. An interior design future that empowers and emboldens the life of the everyday person living in the environment.

Participants in the contest are encouraged to bring forth their best interior design ideas and submit their work to us by re-thinking how a room should look and be decorated in a post pandemic world in 2022.

  1. Prepare an essay (300-500 words), describing in your own words, how an education at Istituto Marangoni Miami will help you fulfill your educational and professional goals.
  2. Submit three (3) to five (5) mood boards of your own most creative and innovative interior design inspired work including color, interior design elements, decorations, and furniture that will be used to decorate the one room space. Keep in mind this is only for one room, so make sure all mood boards connect and tell a story of what the room will look like.

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.
