There is always a way out of difficulty...

AccadeMia is a project which I have been considering for some years, which has developed from my difficulty finding professional figures with the necessary training to accompany me in my profession and daily life in my Atelier.

In my position as a Couture Dressmaker and Creator I have seen the topic of quality and uniqueness grow in importance. In the past decade the development of prêt à porter and today’s trend for fast fashion has caused fashion schools to dedicate their courses to training individuals specialized for an industrial system: fashion designer, stylist, model...

Today a ‘fashion designer’ is not necessarily a trained dressmaker/ tailor and vice-versa...
 
But for those like me who offer services as a ‘Couturier’, making bespoke pieces, it is necessary to have a 360° skill-set. My Atelier is growing and I am looking for professional figures who have the same vision and training. I believe also that the demand for this type of professional, the “Couture Designer/Dressmaker”, as I like to call myself represents a trend for today and for the future.
 
I know that the growth of my Atelier will only be sustainable if I can increase my already well-trained staff. And I believe a good way to do this is to train them directly ‘on the job’, within my Atelier.

And this is how AccadeMia developed - it will be an exploration of everything surrounding.
 
Moda = the craft
Identità = creativity
Arte = research and design

The course is partly led by contributing teachers from whom I learnt my skills, who will guarantee a course of training for the rebirth of our modern fashion system and who recognize the necessary artisanal and design skills for the creation of conscious and high-quality fashion.
 
In the words of the late, great Alexander McQueeen
“Give me time and I will give you a revolution”

I, Francesca Fossati, in good time will give you
a re-evolution of the Couturier!
