Maurizio Pecoraro has been appointed International Fashion Chair of Istituto Marangoni. He will act as the Milan fashion academy's collection consultant, and will assess the students taking part in the fashion shows at the end of the course.

Pecoraro, a former Istituto Marangoni student, has a wealth of fashion industry experience. Before setting up his own label, he worked in fact as creative designer at Versace and then as Creative Director for Valentino.

The first show in which Maurizio Pecoraro will be involved in his new role will take place on 13th April in Shanghai, for the Shanghai Fashion Week: 15 students from the Istituto Marangoni Shanghai will showcase their men's and women's collections to the media, opinion leaders and representatives from China's top fashion groups.

After their show, it will be the turn of Maurizio Pecoraro's AW 2017-18 collection to hit the catwalk, having first been presented at the last edition of the Milano Moda Donna trade show.
