The Fashion Class is a fashion-program that teaches teens sewing, draping, marketing and merchandising all throughout the school year and summer. We have our own storefront studio featuring a sewing room, and art studio. Our summer camp instructors are graduates of fashion and art programs at some of the best fashion schools in the world, like Parsons the New School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology. The Fashion Class has been featured in New York Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, on NBC, FOX, NY1, Canada’s Breakfast Television and Pix11 as a top place for sewing and fashion design education!
Located in Manhattan NYC, our fashion camp is for serious fashionistas who want to make their designs and dreams a reality! Join us to shop for fabric, sew your own creations, meet designers, and learn the ins and outs of the fashion industry.
Founded in the garment district of NYC, The Fashion Class provides an education in fashion in the heart of the fashion world, Manhattan. From creating your own clothing, field trips to the costume department of Broadway shows like Wicked, shopping trips at Mood fabrics (featured on Project Runway) and visits to world-class museums, The Fashion Class provides an unforgettable fashion education!
In 2009, The Fashion Class Founder and Parson’s graduate and fashion designer Kerri Quigley taught her first children’s sewing class in New York City—and was instantly hooked! Seeing how proud kids were after creating something of their very own was endlessly inspiring. Soon, Kerri was creating classes for kids with a focus on fun, playful learning—classes she knew her twelve year-old self would have loved. After word got out about how much fun kids were having in Kerri’s fashion-focused sewing classes and more children wanted to join, The Fashion Class was born in June of 2010. Every aspect of The Fashion Class curriculum is rooted in Kerri’s commitment to creating the best possible learning experience for children. All teachers at The Fashion Class share Kerri’s love of teaching as well as a passion for fashion and design, along with a wealth of fashion design industry experience.
With summer camps, workshops, classes, school programs and more, The Fashion Class is bringing Kerri’s vision for a fun, fabulous fashion education to students of all ages throughout New York City and beyond!
Our camp takes place at Loft39 – 38 West 39th Street New York NY 10018. While we do have two gorgeous NYC sewing studios uptown, we feel that it’s better for our teens to be able to walk to fabric stores, museums, & design showrooms to have a comprehensive fashion experience.
Now in our 15th year, The Fashion Class is a fashion-program that teaches teens sewing, draping, marketing and merchandising all throughout the school year and summer. Our fashion camp is for serious fashionistas who want to make their designs and dreams a reality!
