Fashion Design and Product Development Program
Project Fashion High School/College
The Design and Product Development Program introduces students to a wide variety of careers in the fashion industry. Focusing on designing and developing different product categories for established brands, students will discover jobs that they didn’t even know existed such as trend forecaster, technical designer, stylist, product developer, brand manager, and more. This program allows students to experience the different stages of the design process, and walks them through the full concept-to-consumer product development cycle. Through a series of hands-on projects and workshops, students will explore their creativity and discover career options that align with their passions.
