The CFMI Academy was created to help the faculties of Italian academies stay current on the most pressing issues for the younger generations involved in fashion, such as sustainability and various ESG-related topics. To this end, we have selected a team of consultants working with leading fashion brands or addressing ESG issues at a senior level.

In the context of our partnership with Pitti Immagine, we aim to support young talents in the fashion sector: we believe it is crucial to continue investing in education, a lever to enhance the knowledge transmission process, aiming to raise the qualitative standards typical of Made in Italy. This means making our work tangible and contributing to community progress by establishing collaborations to deliver concrete content. Hence the creation of the Academy with which, together with Pitti and other prestigious partners, we are committed to developing training programs that promote the spread of a more sustainable industrial culture, making the theoretical education provided in schools closer to the operational themes experienced by companies in the sector.
