Fashion Design Camp

FASHION DESIGN SUMMER CAMP FOR KIDS AND TEENSHave you ever watched a toddler sashay down the runway in their mom’s high heels or dad’s coolest tie? DesignX taps in to children’s natural desire to express themselves through clothing in fun and stimulating environment that encourages creative visioning and self-expression. Students will learn how to ideate, sketch, sew and embellish his or her own stylish wearable product, while laying a foundation of practical skills that will last a lifetime. FASHION DESIGN I, GRADES 2-3In this week long program, developed for the youngest fashionistas, students learn how to take a simple garment, usually a bottom, from concept to completion, with an emphasis on design, individual expression and fun.  FASHION DESIGN II, GRADES 4-5 A perfect step up for our slightly older budding designers. In this full-day session campers learn how to take a slightly more complex garment (a top) from concept to completion in a creative, fun-filled setting. Students may work on more advanced sewing techniques like curves and receive additional challenges to stimulate their creative energies …building confidence and independence on the machines. Prior sewing experience not necessary. Instruction and supervision will be adjusted to the skill level of each of the students. FASHION DESIGN III, GRADES 6-8Designed for older students, our middle schoolers, this session is ideal for the more confident fashionistas who are ready to spread their creative wings and want to hone their technical and practical skills. They are challenged to design a full garment - a dress or a romper, maybe a jumpsuit for the more ambitious types. Students will have the opportunity to work more independently and have a greater role in the success of their creations. Prior sewing experience not necessary. Instruction and supervision will be adjusted to the skill level of each of the students.
