iLA Academy – Revolutionising Fashion Education

iLA Academy is an innovative model of fashion and luxury education, founded by Ivana Conte—a seasoned fashion industry professional and educator with over 20 years of experience working across global brands and leading academic institutions. Guided by her vision of inclusive, human-centred learning, iLA brings together a powerhouse team of top-tier executives, artisans, creative directors and luxury fashion brands to shape the next generation of fashion leaders.

We bridge the gap between traditional academic systems and the evolving demands of the fashion business.

We offer specialised training for both individuals and companies:

For individuals: Our postgraduate programmes and mentorships are designed for those aiming to enter or pivot within the fashion and luxury industry. These courses accelerate careers by building deep, industry-relevant knowledge through flexible, digitally supported learning.

For companies: Our corporate training programmes are tailored to upskill teams, support talent retention, and foster a culture of innovation and continuous learning.

Our state-of-the-art digital platform offers global access to all talents, combining user-friendly design with advanced tools for learning, collaboration and career growth—creating a vibrant hub for education and professional networking.

At iLA Academy, our vision is to reimagine fashion education through a holistic, human-centred approach—empowering individuals not only with skills, but with purpose and opportunity, while enabling companies to thrive in an ever-evolving industry landscape.

With your support, we aim to raise €300,000 to:

• Expand into new markets through promotional outreach and educational seminars 
• Offer scholarships grants to deserving talents from underserved backgrounds
• Attend key cultural events and international fairs
• Build and further develop physical and digital talent hub in Rome and London—our home base and creative incubator

Join us in transforming the future of the creative industries—one talented mind at a time.
