Ciao Bella!! Come stai?
Want to study at Polimoda?? VA BENE!
Yes, it is true...The Mimi Amore is a proud alumni of Polimoda International Institute of Fashion Design & Marketing. FMM 2009!
I
completed my BA in Fashion Design from Cal State Los Angeles in 2008.
Right after graduation, I decided to pursue my masters degree in Fashion
Merchandising. I really didn't enjoy sewing or making patterns so I
wanted to get my masters in Fashion Merchandising so I can have a career
in fashion business. Then I thought, "Wait, I should study my masters (in fashion) in EUROPE!" Of course!!
So I started researching for schools in cities like Paris, Milan, London and then I found Polimoda in Florence, Italy. I liked the fact that Polimoda was affiliated with FIT in New York. As an American, this has been a huge advantage and benefit for me. When I tell people I studied my Masters at Polimoda, they have no idea what kind of school it is. Then I add that it is the sister school to FIT in New York and everyone seems to "get it" and they'll perceive Polimoda as a prestigious fashion institute.
I joined the FASHION MERCHANDISING & MANAGEMENT (FMM) Masters Program at Polimoda in the summer of 2009. I can't even tell you how excited I was to be attending this school! I went on my "Eurotrip" in Summer 2006 and was fortunate enough to visit Florence and I totally fell in love with the city! Firenze was absolutely amazing so to be living there was definitely a dream come true!!

The application process for Polimoda was super easy. Just go online to their website (http://www.polimoda.com/) and click on the HOW TO APPLY link....or just click here.
After you apply online, you should get an application package from
Polimoda. You have to answer an entrance exam question and then finish
with a phone interview with the program director. Mind you, I got my
phone call at 3am in Los Angeles (that's 12pm noon in Florence) so just be
ready and prepared! Honestly, the application process wasn't hard at
all but getting a Student Visa for Italy was a totally different story!!
