Fashion Summer Program for High School Students

Fashion is one of the first ways we learn to express ourselves and remains an important part of our identity throughout our lives. In this program, you'll learn how to bring the designs from your imagination onto paper, and then into real life—and blur the boundaries between clothing and wearable art. You'll master sewing skills, study famous designers, and develop your own cohesive fashion line.

What You'll Learn

During your time here, you will spend six hours per day studying fashion and creating works of wearable art. You'll master the basics of garment construction, study historical and contemporary fashion designers, and learn how to plan your ideas on paper. Then, you'll put your skills into practice by constructing a cohesive line of wearables. At the end of the session, you'll showcase your collection in a final show. 

You will also:

• Learn how to communicate your ideas through fashion figure drawing, capturing proportion, movement, silhouettes, and details in a two-dimensional format
• Gain a strong understanding of sewing techniques and garment construction
• Explore the unique characteristics of a variety of materials and how they can be used to convey your artistic ideas
• Develop a visually cohesive fashion collection

You will also have the opportunity to attend virtual lectures, college presentations, and tutorials led by guest artists.
