LM SCHOOL UNIFORMS ON THE BIG SCREEN: BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE STORIES YOU LOVE

lmsubts

Behind every convincing scene in film or television is meticulous attention to detail—and sometimes, that detail is the school uniform. At LM School Uniforms, we’ve spent years perfecting garments that meet the exacting standards of schools, and that commitment has translated seamlessly to the screen. 

From feature films to international TV hits, our work has helped bring credibility and realism to productions including La Corrispondenza, Il Collegio, Il Vegetale, and Penny on M.A.R.S.. Each project brought unique challenges, but all shared one goal: making school life feel authentic on screen.

Authenticity in Every Frame: La Corrispondenza

When Academy Award-winning director Giuseppe Tornatore created La Corrispondenza (2016), the production sought only the best in every detail—from cinematography to costumes. For LM School Uniforms, being chosen to supply the student wardrobes was not only an honour but also recognition of our craftsmanship at the highest level of cinema.

The film went on to win the David Giovani Award at the David Donatello Awards and earned a Golden Globe for cinematography, milestones that confirmed its artistic excellence. Knowing our uniforms quietly contributed to a film of such prestige remains one of our proudest achievements.

       

A Cultural Phenomenon: Il Collegio 

Our collaboration with RAI’s hit reality series Il Collegio marked a turning point for LM School Uniforms. For five consecutive seasons of the show, we provided historically accurate uniforms that transported students—and millions of viewers—back into the classrooms of past decades. Every detail in our designs played a key role in making that time travel believable.

The series quickly became a cultural phenomenon in Italy, sparking conversations, memes, and a renewed interest in school traditions. The visibility of our uniforms on such a widely followed show reinforced our brand as the gold standard for credibility and style in education.

       

Speaking to a New Generation: Il Vegetale

In 2018, we partnered with director Gennaro Nunziante on Il Vegetale, starring internet sensation Fabio Rovazzi. Unlike our historical projects, this film called for contemporary school uniforms that felt instantly relatable to younger audiences.

The success of Il Vegetale—which drew strong box office numbers and connected with Italy’s youth—proved that authenticity resonates across generations. Our uniforms helped ground the story, giving credibility to the everyday student experience while letting the comedy shine.

 

From Italy to the World: Penny on M.A.R.S.

Our work with Disney Channel’s Penny on M.A.R.S. took LM School Uniforms onto an international stage. The series, aimed at a global teen audience, needed uniforms that were both believable as school attire and vibrant enough to match the energy of Disney storytelling.

By balancing tradition with style, we created wardrobes that worked on screen while resonating with viewers far beyond Italy. The show’s international reach marked a milestone for us: LM School Uniforms had officially become part of storytelling that travelled worldwide. 

The Story Continues

At LM School Uniforms, every garment we create is a reflection of craftsmanship, care, and purpose. Whether in classrooms or on film sets, a uniform is never just clothing—it’s a symbol of identity, confidence, and pride. 

For us, seeing our uniforms on screen was a proud milestone. For the schools, parents and students who wear them every day, it’s a reminder that their uniform carries something extra; quality, distinction and tradition. The story continues in every classroom we serve, and in every student who wears our uniforms with quiet pride. At LM School Uniforms, we’re committed and proud to dressing the future – on and off the screen.
