Developing abilities and growing new talent since 1935. This has been the mission of Istituto Marangoni, which has trained four generations of talents from 107 countries within its international network of prestigiously located schools in Milano, Firenze, Paris, London, Mumbai, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Miami, and Dubai while remaining faithful to its distinctive Italian identity and educational method.

Staying very close to this ethos, the Mumbai campus of Istituto Marangoni partnered with CommON Magazine India for a student-led industry project in fashion publishing, called ‘Madboy/Mink – Grant Road Fever’.

As part of the project, Istituto Marangoni Mumbai’s students worked closely with the team from CommON Magazine on an editorial shoot featuring Madboy/Mink, the Mumbai-based creative duo, who play the role of the ultimate disco shiny stars, ready to set the stage on fire, as well as a party in the “Phantom of Royal Opera House” on effervescent Grant Road.

The student’s work and the collaboration were unveiled in an extra special edition of CommON Magazine in June 2023, which also featured independent work done by Istituto Marangoni’s Fashion Styling students.

Talking about the collaboration with Istituto Marangoni, Mumbai, Ms. Woo Lee – Editor in Chief, CommON Magazine, said, “With this extra special edition, I am glad and proud to have supported the work of IIstituto Marangoni Mumbai students, giving them the opportunity to take their first steps in fashion publishing. I am also pleased to have discovered local resources as well as the digital visual artworks and Indian craftsmanship, that form the basis for highly contemporary fashion designs”.

Speaking about this student-led industry project, the Chief Operating Officer, Istituto Marangoni, Mumbai, Mr. Tarun Pandey, said, “we are committed to providing students with real-life experience via projects during the course of their studies at Istituto Marangoni. We are thrilled to see this particular project come to fruition, with real tangible outputs. The end result is the perfect recipe of collaboration and co-creation involving crafts and innovation”
