The Fashion Design After-School Program for kids 4-12

September 2026 – June 2027 • Monthly Membership

This is not your typical after-school program.

At Fashion Squad School, children are not told what to create — they are empowered to dream, design, and bring their own ideas to life.

Because we believe something powerful:

When a child learns to trust their creativity, they begin to trust themselves.

Founded by Layana Aguilar — alum of Project Runway and designer of the gown for Disney’s first Latina princess from Elena of Avalor — Fashion Squad School offers a one-of-a-kind experience that blends real-world fashion design with personal transformation.

This isn’t just a class. It’s a place where creativity is taken seriously.

• AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM OVERVIEW

September 2026 – June 2027 Ages 4–12

Our program is designed for children who love to imagine, create, and bring their ideas to life — designing pieces that are uniquely their own.

Each week, students step into our studio for 1 hour or 2-hour immersive sessions, where they take on the role of real designers.

Throughout the program, students enjoy a full creative experience that includes:

-Designing and sewing their own creations

-A special modeling session for their personal fashion portfolio (with hair & makeup)

-Showcasing their designs in a live runway show

-All materials included — everything they need is provided

-Nut-free snacks during a 20-minute break

-After-school pickup available from select schools in the neighborhood.

Every detail is thoughtfully designed to create a fun, age appropriate, inspiring, and seamless experience — where creativity grows and confidence shines.

• CREATIVE FREEDOM

Unlike traditional sewing programs where children follow pre-cut patterns and create identical pieces…

At Fashion Squad, no two designs are ever the same — because no two children are.

From the very beginning, our students:

-Create their own ideas

-Choose fabrics they love

-Make their own creative decisions

Because every child is unique — and their voice deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

• WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL LEARN

Throughout the program, students develop both creative and life skills:

-Fashion illustration & design thinking

-Fabric selection and textile exploration

-Sewing real clothes and accessories they can proudly wear

-Styling and modeling their own creations

-Public speaking and self-expression

-Confidence, independence, and decision-making

-Students also explore:

-Eco-friendly fashion

-Upcycling and creative reuse

• THE FASHION LOOKBOOK EXPERIENCE

One of the most magical parts of our program:

Our students become the face of their own creations.

Each child participates in a Fashion Portfolio Experience, where they:

-Model their own designs

-Get pampered with hair and makeup

-Step into the spotlight

-Capture beautiful, professional-style photos

This moment changes everything.

They don’t just create —  they own what they create.

•  THE FASHION RUNWAY EXPERIENCE

Throughout the school year, students participate in three Fashion Cycles, each ending in a live runway show:

-Fall Cycle (September–December)

-Winter Cycle (January–March)

-Spring/Summer Cycle (April–June)

At the end of each cycle, families are invited to our Fashion Week Shows, where students proudly present their designs on the runway.

Watching them walk with confidence, wearing something they created themselves, is truly unforgettable.

• THE TRANSFORMATION

By enrolling your child in The Fashion Squad School, you are giving them more than a class.

You are giving them:

-A creative voice

-A sense of confidence

-The courage to express who they are

-And memories that will last a lifetime

Watch as they grow, shine, and surprise you with what they are capable of.

Join us at Fashion Squad School — where creativity comes to life.

Dream it. Design it. Create it. Wear it.
