A New Home for Creativity — Palazzo Turati:
Starting in September 2025, Istituto Marangoni Milano officially relocated to the stunning Palazzo Turati, a neo-Renaissance architectural masterpiece built in the late 1800s. Located in the heart of Milan, between the Duomo and Castello Sforzesco, this five-floor, 9,000+ square metre historical building serves as the school’s new epicentre for fashion, beauty, and luxury education.
The new campus seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, featuring restored historical elements, such as refined frescoes and intricate sculptural details, alongside state-of-the-art facilities, including advanced photography studios, 3D printing workshops, and digital media suites. Palazzo Turati is set to welcome students from over 100 countries, offering them an immersive journey where Milan’s cultural legacy meets cutting-edge creative practice.
XC | 90 Fashion Show — A Generational Manifesto:
The 90th anniversary celebration culminated with the XC | 90 Fashion Show held on September 27, 2025, at the stunning Galleria Meravigli, just steps from the new campus. Titled XC | 90 (symbolising the threshold between completion and infinite potential), the event showcased the bold collections of ten selected third-year Fashion Design students.
The show was judged by a distinguished jury of industry heavyweights, including figures from ZEGNA, Versace, and Vogue Italia. The front row reflected the event's cultural significance, drawing a cross-section of creators, editors, and cultural voices, including artist Pietro Terzini (author of the "Creative State of Mind" claim), prominent digital commentators like Hanan Besovic, and editors from leading publications.
The collections themselves were a manifesto of extremes, featuring monumental volumes, unexpected colour layering, and designs that challenged traditional gender and form, all set to an innovative, AI-influenced soundscape by composer Emiliano Zelada. The event confirmed the school’s position not just as a custodian of fashion heritage, but as the essential platform for the voices driving the industry's future.
