Since 2000, Kiton’s School of Haute Couture has been teaching new generations the art of tailoring, training tomorrow’s masters of elegance.
“If the world does not produce tailors, we must strive to create them.” Ciro Paone
The great goal of Kiton’s founder was achieved with the creation of a three-year program taught by the company’s master tailors to prepare young people aged 16 to 21 for the professional world. The first two years of the course are dedicated to the complete jacket creation cycle. In the third year, students specialize in a specific production phase to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Kiton method.

The social objective of the school
Kiton places its full trust in Neapolitan talent, contributing to the region’s industrial development. We have students from all over the world, but most of our students come from the Campania region. We aim to provide a social alternative for our young people: that’s why 80% of our graduates are already working as tailors at Kiton or with other high-end tailoring companies.
This revolutionary project was launched in 2000 to preserve and ensure the continuity of the art of tailoring worldwide.
We have invested in training a new generation of highly skilled tailors, not only for the future of the company but also for the future of fashion. The courses at the School of Haute Couture foster and nurture the aspirations of talented young students who wish to embrace Kiton’s philosophy of “handmade” craftsmanship and its obsession with excellence. This is the only way they will be able to transform their vocation into a profession to be pursued with passion and mastery. © Triennale di Milano.
