The Istituto Marangoni is a private Italian school of fashion and design. It has campuses in Milan, London, Paris and Shanghai.
The school was founded in Milan in 1935 by the tailor Giulio Marangoni, and became a Scuola Professionale Artistica or "professional art school" in 1942. At first the school trained mainly pattern makers and seamstresses; in the 1970s and 1980s it turned towards fashion design, product development and marketing.
A London campus was opened in a former textile factory at 30 Fashion Street, Spitalfields, in 2003. A Paris campus on avenue Raymond-Poincaré opened in October 2006. In 2013 the Paris School of Fashion moved to 48 rue de Miromesnil, 75008 Paris. A Shanghai campus opened its doors in 2012.
In 2010 there were about 2200 students of 70 nationalities in three campuses.
In 2011 Career Education Corporation sold the Istituto Marangoni to Providence Equity Partners for a price estimated between 17 and 20 million dollars.
The Istituto Marangoni is not listed by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, the Italian ministry of education, among the institutions authorised to award degrees in music, dance and the arts.
In the UK, its BA and MA programmes are validated by the Manchester Metropolitan University.
