1. Beginner Fashion Drawing~  Every designer must know how to express their ideas on paper properly ,"the butterfly project"  is  a unique program that teaches the basics NO experience necessary, beginning with the  very important "Art and Language of the Sketch." They study many design techniques to achieve their ideas, along with rendering  textiles.

What inspires and motivates designers to create?Through  the "Designer's Journey" our designers  learn to use all of their senses to get ideas,  from  being in  the midst  of  music from many cultures, or  indulging  in the sounds of the rain forest ,waterfalls,wind chimes and classical selected sound takes them on a journey.

Colors,shapes as well define style .Our pictorials such as vidrant volcanic pictures, intricate patterned beadwork from the Maasai tribe of Kenya, Gold silk embroidered cloth of Japan,exploring rock textures, etc.gives these beginners an eye full and a tactile reference that they translate into feelings thus designs.

From our studies we produce a "Trend Board", a culmination of inspiration and motivation. "Trend Board's "  map out their ideas for a successful collection !

These beginners end up having pieces that they

have re-designed from their past collections (ideas)or started a new with a better understanding of what they are doing with more forfillment!

We want them to begin to view the world as true designers do, looking and studying and interepreting for them selves and their work.

After School "Fashionista Designers Club"

Your school should be in on all of the latest fashion fun for the Fashionistas !

 The "Fashionista Designers Club" after school program is now available  and is in many of the Westchester Schools and growing! We believe this to be true because of the program that has been developed by fashion designer Denise Proctor.

Mrs.Proctor has designed tutus for prima ballerinas to collections for Saks Fifth Avenue and music industry singers but always loved teaching and working with children mixing art and fashion.

Denise has created a program just for children that she's taken years to develop offered under the umbrella of the Westchester Fashion Academy for Children. Now she's tailored this unique 0ne hour program just for the after school population, the "Fashionista Designers Club"

These children will learn fashion techniques that designers use to sketch out their collections,enjoy the very  popular tissue textiles, use brilliant water colors to show off their textiles etc. Travel virtually through cultures to understand and compare their ways of designing.

Children love working expanding their ideas and exploring possibilities, We open a whole new world for the children and watch as they delight in this wonderful area called "Fashion"  

Designer Denise Proctor has trained some of the finest designers and fashion craft people to teach the elementary and middle school children how to design clothes through basic sketching techniques, to be apart of this exciting movement please call 914-428-1047 and speak to Mrs.Proctor.
