Welcome Back! The 3rd Annual Fashion Camp 2008 will be held July 28th through August 1st in Portland, OR and August 4th through 8th in Los Angeles, CA.

Welcome to Fashion Design Camp, a unique hands-on workshop where girls and boys learn about all aspects of the fashion industry. Each child will produce his or her own clothing line from concept to creation, with plenty of inspiration and playful experimentation along the way.

For the first time, our fashion design camp attendees will show off their creations in an adult fashion show! Featuring clothing from artists Holly Stalder, Kate Towers, Elizabeth Rohloff, Luxury Jones, FrockJackMorgan, Made_line, Sarah Seven and Elizabeth Dye. Snapping pictures of these fabulous kids will be our favorite photographer, Ray Gordon. This Fairy-Tale theme show will also have live music from the amazing School Of Rock Band! All proceeds will go to local children's charities. Hope to see you there!!!

Buy your ticket today online or at Seaplane (827 NW 23rd AVE, PDX 97210) for $10


Tickets will also be sold at the door the night of the event for $12.00.

The show starts at 7pm at the Melody Ballroom (615 SE alder). For more information call or email Kristina: 503.432.8674/ kristina@fashiondesigncamp.com

Following the guidance of expert instructors and their own imaginations, campers ages 8-16 will:

  • brainstorm ideas and sketch designs
  • make patterns
  • choose and cut fabric
  • construct and sew clothing
  • model their creations in a real fashion show

When their garments are completed, campers will learn how to style and accessorize an outfit for a professional photo shoot. Photographs from this session, along with sketches, patterns and fabric swatches will go into a personal portfolio that each child will take home at the end of the week.

Fashion Design Camp will culminate in a fashion-show extravaganza, giving young designers the opportunity to showcase their handiwork for friends and family by strutting down the runway in their finished masterpieces.

All children contain the seeds of greatness, just waiting for the right conditions to sprout and grow. Do you have a budding Coco Chanel or Giorgio Armani in your home? Nurture that genius! The right mentors, materials, and loving encouragement can make all the difference between a great potential and a grand passion.
