Design Your Own Collection • Ages 7–14
Fashion Design at Arc Innovate is an 8-week creative program where kids aged 7–14 learn to think and work like fashion designers. Students explore the full design process — from inspiration research and mood boarding to fashion sketching, fabric selection, and building a mini collection.
