Launch Your Clothing Line!

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! You're probably picturing it as you're reading this.

Sandra is a very successful designer with many years experience working in both New York City and Paris, France (from which she hails). She studied fashion in Paris at the famous ESMOD International Fashion University. In Paris, she also launched her own fashion line, as well as held many design positions with other reputable Parisian companies. She is currently a design director at a major fashion company here in NYC, as well as our dedicated instructor.

Upon completion of your collection, it will be assessed for approval.

All qualified students will show their approved collection at New York Fashion Week in Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer (depending on program start month).

"WHERE do I start?"

"WHAT steps do I take?"

"HOW MUCH will it cost?"

"WHO will make my clothing?"

...luckily, you don't have to jump in without proper guidance and knowledge. This 3-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!
