Tribeca Fashion Design Teen Lab-After-School Program

Tribeca Fashion Design Teen Lab-After-School Program

For Future Fashion Designers September 2026 – June 2027
 
At Fashion Squad School, we don’t just teach fashion—we develop the next generation of designers.
The Teen Fashion Design Lab is an exclusive, high-level after-school program created for teens who are serious about fashion and ready to build real skills, create a professional portfolio, and prepare for fashion college and beyond.
This is where passion becomes direction—and talent becomes opportunity.
 
💫 WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM DIFFERENT
This is not a typical sewing class. This is a pre-professional design experience designed to give teens a true foundation in the fashion industry.
 
Inside the Teen Lab, students will:
🎨 Master Fashion Illustration & Design Fundamentals Learn how to sketch like a designer, develop original concepts, and build cohesive collections.
🧵 Sew Elevated, Wearable Garments Work with real industry techniques to create structured, high-quality pieces—not beginner projects.
🌿 Explore Sustainability & Upcycling Develop a modern design mindset with purpose-driven fashion.
🎤 Present & Pitch Like a Designer Build confidence through critiques, presentations, and mini pitch sessions—essential skills for fashion school.
👯‍♀️ Collaborate in Design Teams Strengthen leadership, communication, and creative problem-solving.
🚶🏽‍♀️ Runway Training & Personal Styling Learn how to present designs with confidence—on and off the runway.
📸 Build a Fashion Portfolio Create a body of work that can be used for fashion high school, college applications, and future opportunities.
✨ Produce & Present in a Fashion Week Show Each cycle culminates in a full-scale, teen-led runway show, giving students real-world experience from concept to presentation.
 
💎 MORE THAN A CLASS — A LAUNCHPAD
This program is designed for teens (13+) who are ready to:
  • Take their creativity seriously
  • Discover their voice through design
  • Build confidence, discipline, and direction
  • Be part of a like-minded, driven creative community
