Our Story

In 2009, The Fashion Class Founder, Parsons graduate, and fashion designer Kerri Quigley taught her first children’s sewing clas 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.

The Birth of The Fashion Class
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.

Our Passionate Team
All teachers at The Fashion Class share Kerri’s love of teaching, a passion for fashion and design, and bring a wealth of fashion design industry experience.

Our student/teacher ratio is always 5:1 in classes and camps. The Fashion Class focuses on fun and fabulous fashion themed classes where students learn to sew in a creative environment.

Kerri Quigley is the creator of The Fashion Class and author of Fashion Design for Kids. While at Parsons School of Design she created her own women’s clothing line manufactured in NYC’s garment center & later India. Her styling and fashion work has been seen in Teen Vogue and Cosmo Magazine online. She’s passionate about the teen fashion camp program as she believes it’s essential to teach up and coming designers not only how to design but how to get a design business off the ground. When she’s not teaching fabulous fashion to children you can find her sewing bathing suits, styling fashion shoots, or designing dog clothing!

“I started my first clothing line in high school and manufactured in NYC’s garment center and abroad leading to a deal with Bloomingdales. Join me and my team of designers this summer as we go through the process of creating your own fashion brand and learn all about this fabulous industry!”
