Day 1 Fashion Design & Draping

Day 2: Fashion Photoshoot

  • Students will complete their 1/2 size mannequin designs and participate in a special fashion photoshoot. Each designer will have their creation photographed and will receive a printed keepsake photo of their design to take home.

Perfect for beginners and returning students alike.
