"Fashion Extravaganza" Day Camp "
A one of a kind fashion day camp , Fashion Extravaganza,has been in exhistance since 2005 and has been gaining much notoriaty.
This program was developed by a fashion designer along with fashion industry assistance.
With Project Runway, The Red Carpet and many of the computer fashion sites, this is a step forward for children who want to experience the real environment !
Using the actual designers experience we have carefully put together a program that emulates being an actual designer in a design studio.
Each week the camper, as the designer is given projects to design, we the staff take on the position as the head stylist that guide their creations (as the stylist does) through trend boards, journeys through various music ,nature,and studing many cultures that often times gives designers their thought process for a collection. We also view the collections of many designers shows.
Campers/designers share an actual design studio of the fashion designer. They are surrounded by textiles(fabrics) ,mannikins, fashion tools of the trade, colors, the designers sketches and the designers collection of beautiful gowns .
They design on an old turn of the century carved table with colorful collaged chairs. COME JOIN US !
