FASHION
SUMMER CAMP

The Fashion Summer Camp at The Miami School of Fashion & Design offers a comprehensive understanding of the fashion industry, focusing on hands-on learning. The program emphasizes upcycling, fabric work, pattern-cutting, sewing, and patchwork to help students create their final pieces. Students also benefit from integrating digital design and traditional craftsmanship to enhance their design development and garment construction skills. An essential aspect of the program is visual storytelling in fashion, utilizing digital tools to craft compelling narratives through clothing. Sustainability is woven into our curriculum, ensuring students grasp sustainable fashion concepts and learn to incorporate them into their creative projects. The camp culminates in a final fashion garment presentation, providing students with a valuable addition to their college applications.

Students will achieve a wide range of learning outcomes throughout the program. They will first gain expertise in essential fashion techniques, including draping, designing, sewing, and embellishing, which are crucial to the immersion into fashion design. They will also develop a strong understanding of sustainability, learn to rejuvenate clothing through upcycling and understand the transformative potential of fabrics. Additionally, students will enhance their creativity through interactive sessions, such as draping fabric on mannequins and experimenting with different textiles to encourage innovation. They will also acquire essential craftsmanship skills, become familiar with sewing machines, and learn about design features like pockets, zippers, and buttons. Furthermore, students will explore digital design methods, mastering software like Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, which are essential for the modern fashion industry. Lastly, they will perfect the art of visual storytelling, honing their ability to create and convey compelling narratives through images, a critical skill for developing cohesive fashion collections.

Our Miami Campus, located in the vibrant Design District, offers a contemporary 7-story building with tailored facilities to support student needs and foster an atmosphere conducive to learning and innovation.
