“We founded IED, in 1966, on the basis of the idea that knowledge and know-how should grow and attain maturity together. Respecting the mindsets of the market and the principles of training at a high level, we opted for a more authentic, up-to-date culture of design. We conceived, planned and built the school of design. We know what it means to pursue an idea until it becomes tangibly concrete and that is what we teach to young creatives from all over the world.”
Francesco Morelli, Founder and President, IED

Established in Milan in 1966 by its current President, Francesco Morelli, IED offers thorough, effective training, based on the theory and practice of design culture, to young people who want to embark on creative careers in Fashion, Design, Visual Arts and Communications.
