Fulfilling your fashion dreams and starting your own apparel collection is exciting...and a little scary too, to say the least! Nonetheless, having a clothing sample of your design made up for the first time is always a one-of-a-kind experience. Needless to say, the first time you see your clothing in a retail shop will make you feel truly special, and the first time you see a pedestrian walking around in an outfit YOU designed,  your mind will be blown to bits! You're probably picturing it as you're reading this.

...luckily, you don't have to jump in without proper guidance and knowledge. This 6-month course covers everything from concept sketch to finished collection (including design, construction, manufacturing, branding and marketing, etc). Once the course is complete, you won't leave with only a piece of paper crediting your attendance; you'll leave with an entire collection of clothing made by YOU, ready to show at Fashion Week and sell!
