It’s time for RETRO Fashion Week for the morning class! In this camp our designers will design a unique drawstring skirt, a top and a tote bag!
It’s time for our EUROPEAN Fashion Week for the afternoon class! In this camp, designers will design a unique jumpsuit or romper for their project.
They’ll design accessories to complement their fashion runway look. Our final day of class will be a fun fashion show!
Our young fashion designers start with the sketch (croquis), technical details, choosing and rendering the fabric, learning the proper way to make a pattern, including measuring each other, understanding the importance of this process and the fit of the garment. They learn how to pin and sew using a sewing machine. Then, they sew the entire garment including the final fitting. Finally, on the last day of our camp, we hold our Fashion Show. During our fashion summer camp week, we add fashion challenges (i.e. newspaper challenges, trash bag challenges) for our designers to explore their innermost fashion taste and skills.
Our designers team up with other designers for this quite unique and fun experience.

All fabric, supplies and use of the sewing machines are included. Each student will take home the project she designed and made.
