Create Original Garments. Build a Professional Portfolio. Prepare for Your Creative Future.
Designed for students who are ready to work at a college-level fashion design studio.
Working through the complete fashion design process—from concept development and draping to garment construction and finishing—students create original garments that bring their own ideas to life.
Every project strengthens technical skills, creative confidence, and builds a portfolio that prepares students for high school art programs, design academies, and future college applications
From Design Studio to the Runway
See how our advanced students transform original ideas into finished garments and present their collections at our annual Fashion Gala.
School-Year Schedule
Advanced Fashion Design — Monday • 5:00–6:00 PM
For students working with strong sewing independence, original garment construction, and advanced creative thinking.
Advanced Design Studio — Monday • 6:15–7:15 PM
Students work in a collaborative studio environment where fashion design, clothing construction, textiles, and toy design come together through original, runway-ready projects.
Advanced Fashion Design — Friday • 5:00–6:00 PM

College Portfolio Studio — Friday • 6:15–7:15 PM
Designed for dedicated high school students preparing portfolios for art schools, design academies, and future college applications.
Build a Portfolio That Opens Doors
Students create original garments and portfolio-quality projects that showcase both technical skills and creative thinking.
As their portfolio grows, so does their confidence, design process, and ability to communicate original ideas—valuable preparation for high school art programs, design academies, and future college applications. A strong portfolio is an important part of admission to many art and design programs, making sustained, original work especially valuable.
How Do New Students Join?
Every new student begins with a Creative Assessment.
During the assessment, we'll evaluate your child's current sewing and design skills and recommend the level where they will thrive.
If your child is ready, they'll be placed directly into Advanced Fashion Design Studio.
If they would benefit from building a stronger technical foundation first, we'll recommend the most appropriate Design & Sewing Academy level.
