Styled to Rock! Join our

edgy rock and roll design team to create fashion-forward looks like a pop star

celebrity icon! Each of the four fashion design workshops will allow you to

gain a taste of real life experience in the design room. Each workshop will

focus on one of the four processes of fashion design development: fashion

research, illustration, technical flats, and construction techniques. These

workshops are upbeat, high-energy and fun! We will incorporate students’

interests in music, media and current scene trends in each workshop. So take

one to immerse yourself in one design aspect or take all four to complete your

fashion-forward look. Instructor: Missy Bernstein
