MOODART Fashion School is a higher education school specialized in fashion communication. It was funded in Verona (Italy) 10 years ago and since then, it has been focusing on students by guiding them through a constant growth and discovery process. To be sincere.. In 2010 there were no schools in Italy focusing only on the professions of fashion Communication, that’s why Elisa Sorrentino, CEO & Founder, decided to create it!
