Envision a hub where aspiring Phoenix designers can get the business side of fashion and build their brands to be successful. The Garment League is an umbrella organization that advocates for the garment industry and other forms of creative expression.
The Garment League is a nonprofit with a mission to support people of all ages who work in the fashion sector. Offering workforce development opportunities, we aim to serve as a platform for learning and development within the sector. Professionals in the fashion business teach our programs with the goal of equipping students to succeed in the industry.
TGL's primary objective is to support the fashion industry in Arizona through ongoing education and the provision of relevant resources. Their platform provides a wide range of services, including fashion residencies, creative workshops, business planning, consultancy, imaging and branding, technical requirements, manufacturing, and assistance with wholesale and retail trade.
If you are looking for a summer camp in Arizona for kids aged 8–17 (or older, please inquire), go no farther than Fashion Industry Youth Camp (FIC).
Having been around for thirteen fruitful years, FIC is the model of innovation and education in the fashion industry. Campers will learn all about the fashion industry from instructors with years of experience in the field.
Mood boards, style, color theory, modeling, photography, design, illustration, and more are just a few of the many areas covered by the participants.
“Our focus extends beyond creativity; we aim to instill confidence, foster self-expression, and cultivate essential workforce development skills,” Trice Thomas, founder of The Garment Leaguge informed the audience,
In addition, FIC skillfully weaves STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education into the very fabric of fashion schooling. So, campers get the chance to pursue their artistic interests while also learning about other fields, which helps them get ready for a future full of change.
