Istituto Marangoni Miami X Vogue Brazil Partner to Offer Scholarship Program

Istituto Marangoni Miami is thrilled to announce its continued partnership with Vogue Brazil, the Brazilian arm of the world’s most prestigious fashion magazine, for the second year running. This collaboration has led to the creation of a scholarship program, designed to identify and nurture the most promising emerging talent in fashion and interior design from Brazil, offering them the unique opportunity to study at Istituto Marangoni Miami.

Applicants must submit scholarship projects in the areas of Design, Styling, Business, and Interior Design by May 22nd. Ten winners will be announced on May 26th. This year’s jury will be comprised of: Hakan Baykam, President of Istituto Marangoni Miami, Barbara Migliori, Fashion Director of Vogue Brazil, Keanan Duffty, Dean of Fashion of Istituto Marangoni Miami, Mario Braghieri, Program Leader of Fashion Design at Istituto Marangoni Miami, Thelma Lazo-Flores, Program Leader of Interior Design at Istituto Marangoni Miami, Nathalie Tessier, Program Leader of Fashion Business at Istituto Marangoni Miami, and Juanita Crary, Fashion Styling Professor at Istituto Marangoni Miami.

The scholarship program is run by the Miami Fashion Foundation. Founded by Hakan Baykam in 2020, the Miami Fashion Foundation provides educational support and skill training through scholarships, workshops, and events for fashion field students and businesses in South Florida. Cultivating these emerging talents and enterprises into highly skilled fashion professionals will attract companies that will draw even more creative design students and professionals to Miami, thus creating a self-sustaining cycle. Through education, followed by networking and mentoring, leading to establishing fashion companies with open access to industry leaders, resources, and capital, Miami’s position as a fashion industry hub will be further cemented.

With a highly qualified academic team, combining European instructors and prominent local professionals, Istituto Marangoni Miami offers a variety of fashion, styling, fashion business, interior design courses, and graduate programs. The Miami School of Fashion & Design offers students an unprecedented opportunity for innovation, inspiration, and creativity to build a promising future within the fashion and design industry.
