CKD Master

The Academic Master in Creative Knitwear Design is a Master Degree developed by Accademia Costume & Moda and Modateca Deanna

The Master in Creative Knitwear Design (CKD) is a new concept in advanced knitwear education. It was born in collaboration with Modateca Deanna and Accademia Costume & Moda, offering to young fashion designers a complete and specific education in knitwear. In partnership with some of the most prestigious Italian knitwear and yarns companies and with the technical support offered by highly speciali

zed partners, the course is based on the on-site learning, interactive lessons and the collaboration with the most innovative and important Italian companies specialized in fashion knitwear. The course consists of various elements that simulate the path of the supply chain, from the research of materials and yarns to the analysis of new perspectives, to design, technical development up to the creation of a knitwear collection. History of knitwear, study of yarns, techniques and technologies, computer graphics, marketing and brand analysis, together with the close collaboration with partner companies and professionals, to support the student in building their professionalism. The creative areas are explored thanks to Industry Projects which involves various companies that contribute to the creation of the student professional awareness and the construction of a creative identity. The philosophy of the Master in Creative Knitwear Design is to create knitwear projects with the care and ethic of the past mastering technology innovation of the present and the future.
