Fashion Design Studio: Fashion Industry & Professional Practice

High School CTE | CTS - Designed for Visual Learners

This unit shifts students from designer to entrepreneur. They'll learn how to present a collection and stage a fashion runway show, then dig into fashion branding, marketing, and sales — covering how designers build a brand identity and get their work in front of buyers and customers.

It's an ideal capstone or mid-course pivot: a natural pairing with a final collection project, class fashion show, or student-run "brand launch" assignment.
