A Summer Fashion Program for Teens in NYC

Concept to Creation: a fashion design camp for teenagers teaches students all about the Fashion Industry and how to start a clothing line. Students begin by looking at other fashion brands and learn to conceptualize their own brand name, logo and mini collection. From concept to creation our fashionistas will make their collection a reality by choosing fabric, constructing, and sewing their garments and accessories. Next students learn how to take their collection to market. We will hold a photoshoot, cast models, and create a look book to show to retail store buyers. The camp is not complete without field trips, we will be visiting showrooms and trade shows to see how real fashion companies market their products. Special guest speakers will include press, fashion bloggers, designers, buyers and more. Download the Fashion Summer Camp for Teens Brochure Here

Each morning is dedicated to the theme of the week and the class will visit showrooms, designers, and museums while discussing how to create a clothing line. New students will be given all applicable materials from the previous weeks. Each afternoon will focus on sewing and design skills so that students can sew their designs into actual garments. New students will start from the beginning while current students hone their skills at intermediate and advanced levels. Students work independently and with an instructor. Group activities include field trips, guest speakers, fashion shoots, and the fashion show. All students are welcome to participate in the fashion show by modeling their creations or showcasing their line on real models, photos will be provided by a professional photographer, perfect for a student building his/her portfolio for High School or College!

I started my first clothing line out of high school and manufactured all around the world before landing a deal with Bloomingdales, all while in college. Join me (and other industry insiders & professionals) as I share my experience on how to start your own clothing line and make your dreams of being a designer come true! – Kerri Q. The Fashion Class Founder

While we recommend our students take the entire program for the full Concept to Creation Fashion Experience we understand that not everyone can. Students are able to sign up for one or more weeks, at any point in the program. Discounts are given for two or more weeks.
