History
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.[2] At first the school trained mainly pattern makers and seamstresses; in the 1970s and 1980s it turned towards fashion design, product development and marketing.[3]:185
A London branch was opened in a former textile factory at 30 Fashion Street, Spitalfields, in 2003,[4][5][6] and a Paris branch opened in 2006.[7] A branch in Via de' Tornabuoni in central Florence opened in 2016.[8] In China, branches were opened in Shanghai in 2013, and in Shenzhen in 2016.[9] The Group opened its first school in India, in Mumbai, in July 2017.[10]
In 2010 there were about 2200 students of 70 nationalities in three campuses.[11]
In 2011 Career Education Corporation sold the Istituto Marangoni to Providence Equity Partners for a price estimated between 17 and 20 million dollars.[12]
In 2020 Providence Equity Partners then majority shareholder, sold its shares in Galileo Global Education for an amount of 2.3 billion euros as a consortium.[13] The majority shareholders are now, CPP Investment Board and Théthys Invest, the holding company of the Bettencourt-Meyers family.[14]
The Marangoni is often cited as one of the most prestigious fashion schools in the world. [15]
Accreditation
Since June 2016 the Istituto Marangoni has been listed by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, the Italian ministry of education, among the institutions authorised to award degrees in music, dance and arts.[16]
In the UK, its BA and MA programmes are validated by the Manchester Metropolitan University,[17][18][19] which also awards master's degrees at the Paris branch.[20] A three-year fashion stylist course in Paris is approved by the Commission nationale de la certification professionnelle.[21]
