History edit
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.[1] At first the school trained mainly pattern makers and seamstresses; in the 1970s and 1980s it turned towards fashion design, product development and marketing.[2]: 185
A London branch was opened in a former textile factory at 30 Fashion Street, Spitalfields, in 2003,[3][4][5] and a Paris branch opened in 2006.[6] A branch in Via de' Tornabuoni in central Florence opened in 2016.[7] In China, branches were opened in Shanghai in 2013, and in Shenzhen in 2016.[8] The Group opened its first school in India, in Mumbai, in July 2017.[9]
In 2010 there were about 2200 students of 70 nationalities in three campuses.[10]
In 2011 Career Education Corporation sold the Istituto Marangoni to Providence Equity Partners for a price estimated between 17 and 20 million dollars.[11]
