Student Examples

Taught by fashion designer and mentor Gregory Nato.

The One-Day Intro to Fashion Workshop with Gregory Nato gives high school students a hands-on introduction to the fashion design process. Over the course of four hours, students will explore career paths in the fashion industry, learn how designers find inspiration, and practice the basic drawing skills used to bring ideas to life.

Through professional techniques like working with croquis templates, experimenting with color theory, and exploring moodboard storytelling, students will not only build artistic skills—they’ll build confidence too.

All materials are provided — just bring your imagination.
