14“The amazing education I received at Villioti Fashion Institute truly prepared me for my MA and I honestly hope that the students re-alize how privileged they are to be studying there. When I got accepted to The Institute of Marangoni in London for my Master’s, the first few weeks were more of a “catch-up” les-son to see the general level of students’ work and capabilities, and I remem-ber thinking to myself, “I’ve done this already, why am I here?” Claudia D”Agnolo: Villioti Graduate 2017
