Classes are offered on Saturdays only, during the seven week period, which is perfect if you are attending other classes or different school during the week. You will be able to “learn the ins and outs of the fashion business including design, publicity, wardrobe styling/costume design, event planning, jewelry/accessory design and more”. University is supervised by Kathlin Argiro, Courtney Zellmer, publicity guru Gwen Wunderlich-Smith who help teens “turn their dreams into a reality and break in to the world of fashion with opportunities and experiences beyond anything they ever imagined”. It sounds very trigging and I am sure it will attract the young crowd. Winter semester starts on Saturday, January 16, 2010 & flows into Spring Semester which is featuring additional courses on March 20, 2010.

Sample Courses

• Fashion Design 101 - Over the seven-week course students will get a firsthand account of running a small business in the fashion industry from designers Argiro and Zellmer. Students will learn how to create a collection from start to finish - from inspiration to presentation and everything in between using examples from Kathlin's own collection, high-profile guest speakers, and actually take steps toward creating their own line. Students will learn about fabrics and how to use them, color stories, sketching basic fashion figures, story boards and presenting a collection to learn more about themselves as first time designers.

• P.R. Prep 101 - Fashionistas who are on top of the latest trends and are interested in being a part of the buzz, glitz and glamour are perfect for this crash course in the exciting field of public relations. Wunderlich of Wunderlich Inc. will help students begin their journey to becoming the next "it" publicist by sharing her expertise in the field, including her background of starting her own company from the ground up. Throughout the seven weeks, Gwen will introduce different aspects of the business that will help each student develop their PR skills and teach them the necessity of being connected. Students can expect field trips to the city's hottest spots including a trip to the fashionista holy land - New York Fashion Week.
