Inside Brioni's master tailoring school in Penne
"Over the course of two years and 2,600 hours of instruction, students are immersed in a curriculum that blends theory and practice-from the study of costume history to merchandising strategies, design and sketching, cutting, and production methods. Under the expert supervision of Brioni's own master tailors and technical educators, students learn beyond the practicalities of tailoring, into the philosophy that underpins it."
"The school's first class consisted of 16 students, all of whom were awarded scholarships covering 85% of tuition. Students who pass both their intermediate and final exams are rewarded with a full scholarship and a refund of any fees paid, underscoring the brand's commitment to accessible and merit-based education. Beyond the technical and artistic dimensions of tailoring, the school is a strategic investment in the future of Italian craftsmanship."
