The Design & Product Development Program teaches fashion design for teens, introducing students to a wide variety of careers in the fashion industry. The program goes beyond the craft of designing, delving into the business of making a living in fashion.
The program is focused on designing and developing different product categories for established brands. Students will discover jobs they didn’t even know existed, such as trend forecaster, technical designer, stylist, product developer, brand manager and more.
Our summer fashion programs for high school students allow the students to work as a collaborative team, honing their creativity to develop a product line for an existing company, consistent with its brand profile. The program also includes a variety of hands-on creative projects at various workshops, developed for different skill levels. The projects incorporate branding, market research, trend forecasting, creative design, mood boards, theme concepts, color palettes, flat sketching, fabrics, trims and details – all to create a cohesive collection for a specific target consumer and season.
