I’m sure many of you know of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. This was the starting point for many  incredible people in the fashion world. Here are some members of the famous alumni, Calvin Klein (fashion designer), Nanette Lepore (fashion designer), Melissa McCarthy (actress), Michael Kors (fashion designer), Reem Acra (fashion designer of bridal dresses), Nina Garcia (Project Runway judge, creative director at Marie-Claire magazine) and Carolina Herrera (fashion designer). Most of us know at least one person from this list and can say with confidence that they are incredibly talented. Not only was it in their blood but FIT surely gave them the opportunity to put their creativity to work. We recently finished a four week course at FIT that we absolutely loved! The class we attended was called, Passion for Fashion Styling, and it gave us an oppurtunity to work with other people who share the same love for fashion. We were able to visit stores and create a mood board for a “celebrity client” which we later presented to the rest of the class. Sometimes it’a hard to find somewhere where you have the ability to let your creative juices flow because you don’t always have time or because your school doesn’t offer any classes, so FIT was great. We attended the Saturday classes which did go all day and we enjoyed every minute! If you live in NYC or are able to commute there,they have so many great classes you can try!
