At Botto Giuseppe, we aspire to make our manufacturing work an ambition for young people, thus upholding and passing on our heritage of entrepreneurial culture and expertise. Partnerships with young talents from the Fashion Design course at the European Institute of Design (IED) are a valuable training opportunity as well as an investment in the future of our industry
The European Institute of Design (IED) is a world-class international network with all-Italian roots that performs training and research in the subjects of Design, Fashion, Visual Arts and Communication. IED is a ‘workshop’ that offers young creatives a ‘design culture’ that will accompany them throughout their lives. For this very reason, IED is much more than a school: it is a centre for shaping a new generation of professionals.
