Fashion Design Courses For Kids and Teens

Kid Fashion

SEE SCHEDULE/BOOK

  • This four-week studio introduces young designers to the visual language of fashion—where drawing, fabric, and imagination meet on paper and on a 3-D mannequin.

  • Students learn to observe the body in motion, through images and tracing; translating ideas and starting to develop a refined eye for proportion, pose, and style.

    Class will run with just one student.

  • Working with age-appropriate croquis, students explore figure drawing and expressive posing, learning how attitude and movement shape a look.

    They will drape, sketch garments with intention, experiment with line and color, and build fabric swatch stories—touching, pairing, and curating materials as real designers do. Each week layers new skills: illustration techniques, textile exploration, and model drawing.

    The studio emphasizes process over perfection. Ideas evolve through sketchbooks, pinned swatches, and thoughtful discussion. By the end of the course, each student completes a small illustrated fashion portfolio that reflects their personal point of view—confident, imaginative, and unmistakably their own.

    Chic, focused, and quietly rigorous. A true introduction to fashion thinking, scaled for young creatives.

    Please keep in mind that this is NOT a sewing class.

Before you Come - Q&A:

  • This course is designed for kids and teens (ages ~8–16) who are curious about how fashion really comes to life — beyond sewing. It’s perfect for young creatives who sketch in the margins of their notebooks, who drape scarves on mannequins at home, or who want to understand the “why” and “how” behind fashion design. No sewing skills are required — it’s all about the artistry and structure of fashion.

  • It gives students an insider look into fashion design that most don’t experience until college. They’ll learn industry skills like illustration, draping, and pattern making, all taught in a way that’s hands-on, fun, and age-appropriate. This course builds creativity, confidence, and problem-solving while showing them that fashion is both art and architecture.

  • Nope — you don’t need to know how to sew for this course.

    This is strictly about design, draping, illustration, and pattern making — the backbone of fashion before a single stitch is sewn. It’s perfect for kids and teens who want to think like designers, sketch ideas, and see how shapes and fabric come together in 3D.

    If someone is already into sewing, great — these skills will take their work to the next level. But sewing is not a requirement at all.

    • Bad weather? Everyone must wear indoor shoes or slippers. No bare feet or socks, thanks.

    • We ask that you clean up your creative work station when you're done, making sure all tools are accounted for before you leave.

    • We sanitize hard surfaces.

    • Our restrooms are just outside the Parlor, in the hallway.

    • Every guest should wash hands before entering the studio.

    • If you are not well - please stay home and visit another day. We reserve the right to deny entry to visibly ill guests. It’s nothing personal - it’s for everyone’s health.

  • Please, no food/snacks in the art/fiber areas. You are welcome to bring a water bottle that does not leak when knocked over.
