Educational objectives The Fashion Photography course provides students with an in-depth and critical understanding of both the theoretical and practical processes behind the creation of a fashion editorial—from concept to final production—with a specific focus on editorial visual language and its application in the contemporary context of fashion magazines.
The initial part of the course is dedicated to the theoretical study of contemporary fashion photography, analyzing its main styles and key photographers, with a historical perspective beginning from the aesthetic revolution of the 1980s. This was when the first independent magazines such as i-D, The Face, and Dazed emerged, introducing new, more rebellious and anti-commercial visual narratives in contrast to the glossy mainstream culture of the time.
-Students also gain an understanding of how the editorial system works (both print and digital magazines), production dynamics, and the role of images in the visual and conceptual storytelling of fashion. Through theoretical lessons, fashion film analysis, moodboard studies, and real editorial case studies, the course fosters project autonomy and the ability to connect acquired skills with other disciplines such as fashion history, visual communication, design, semiotics, and visual culture.
-Students are guided through the planning and realization of a complete editorial, learning how to contact and coordinate the main collaborators involved in a fashion production (photographers, stylists, make-up artists, models, designers), thereby developing cross-disciplinary skills such as professional communication, creative judgment autonomy, and project management in real-world contexts.

Educational objectives This course aims to provide students with a critically informed and structured understanding of the history of theatre and live performance in the Western world, from antiquity to the contemporary era. The curriculum is designed to guide students toward a conscious and context-aware understanding of theatrical languages, with particular attention to the interrelations between artistic, cultural, organizational, and institutional dimensions.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and understanding:
Acquisition of basic methodological tools for the historical study of theatre and performance.
Understanding of dramaturgical and performative forms from a historical and critical perspective.
Applying knowledge and understanding:
Ability to analyze plays, documents, and theatrical phenomena using appropriate historical and theoretical categories.
Application of acquired knowledge to the analysis of theatrical production, aesthetics, and organizational contexts.
Making judgements:
Development of independent critical thinking in interpreting plays and theatrical practices within their respective cultural and historical frameworks.
Ability to evaluate the interplay between artistic, institutional, and socio-political factors in theatre.
Communication skills:
Ability to effectively present content, methods, and issues related to theatre history using appropriate terminology, both in written and oral form.
Capacity to clearly and coherently articulate historical-theatrical analyses.
Learning skills:
Development of skills necessary for further academic studies in performing arts and related disciplines.
Ability to pursue autonomous learning, even when engaging with complex or interdisciplinary materials.
Specific Learning Goals
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
Identify and describe the key periods, authors, texts, and practices in the history of Western theatre.
Recognize and interpret major dramaturgical forms, with particular focus on the relationship between written text and staged performance.
Use historical, documentary, and theoretical sources to reconstruct and analyze theatrical phenomena.
Understand the organizational, legislative, and production-related dynamics of theatre across different historical contexts.
Situate theatrical events and figures within coherent historical and cultural frameworks, with attention to aesthetic and institutional transformations.
Develop a critical and well-documented approach to the study of live performance.

Educational objectives Students who will take the course will acquire knowledge related to the history and theory of cinema, with particular regard to the forms of direction and storytelling that have marked the transition from classical to modern cinema.
Students will be able to acquire the foundations for a historical-theoretical knowledge of cinema, its specific terminology and the main languages and forms that have accompanied its development. They will also be able to apply the acquired method of historical-theoretical investigation to other authors and other texts than those addressed in class.
The course will contribute to a higher capacity for evaluation and judgment of cinematographic works.

Educational objectives The course aims to lead students to explore the principles behind visual representation,
focusing on both its hands-on and theoretical techniques to expand and structure creative
thinking. Students work with traditional and hybrid methods applied to fashion and
costume design, building the skills necessary to produce functional and imaginative
outcomes. The objective is to equip students with a diverse set of tools, enabling them to
independently develop, organize, and express their unique fashion projects. Active
involvement in all training activities is essential for students to meet the course objectives
and to create a personal and original ‘design output’. The programme combines theoretical
discussions with practical workshops and draws connections across various fields,
including fashion, design, art and architecture.

Educational objectives The course
- provides students with knowledge and understanding of the methodological, critical-problematic, and applicative aspects of drawing in general and, more specifically, of Fashion Illustration: from sketches, to fashion figures, to flat drawings, up to commercial illustration; it offers historical and contemporary references to drawing as a design and communication tool within the fashion field; it highlights the variety of application areas for disciplinary skills;
- develops the student's autonomous ability to relate what has been learned to other academic fields (SSD) and, more broadly, within the fashion system;
- enables students to use the acquired knowledge and specific terminology even in contexts beyond the course’s scope, encouraging the development of a critical perspective toward images and communication, with the aim of fostering transversa
