Who we are: Now in our 15th year, The Fashion Class is a fashion-program that teaches teens sewing, draping, marketing and merchandising all throughout the school year and summer. Our camp instructors are graduates of fashion and art programs at some of the best fashion schools in the world, like Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Our fashion camp is for serious fashionistas who want to make their designs and dreams a reality! Perfect for beginners and advanced sewers and those looking to build a portfolio for school admissions.

What we do: Each week will involve sewing in our fully equipped studio, fashion design & illustration, a fabric shopping trip, field trips, and guest speakers to give insight into this fabulous industry. Our teen designers get to choose their own fabric from Mood Fabric Store (featured on Project Runway) on the first day of camp. All fabric and supply costs are included in the camp fee. 

Where we are: We've partnered with Loft39 in the heart of the Garment District! This enables us to walk to fabric stores, fashion exhibits, and go on field trips at design studios every day of the week. Our pop-up studio at Loft39 will be outfitted with the same equipment that we enjoy at our studio; modern sewing machines, sergers, irons, and all supplies needed to make fashion!*
