FORMER STUDENT TESTIMONIALS:

• "The best online class I have ever taken! Taught me everything I wish my school would have taught me about the fashion industry."

• "I learned more about parts of the fashion industry that are not taught in my [school's] curriculum."

• "The class has given me a glimpse into the industry on every aspect!"

• "The Fashion Career Accelerator was an amazing way to stay inspired during an otherwise uninspiring time. I gained deeper understanding of styling as a potential career path as well as being opened up to other future possibilities."

• "I would not have had the courage to do the informational interviews or even know where to start had it not been for this program. I also would have never known how interested I am in the editorial side of the industry, something I had never considered before this program."

• "Fashion Career Accelerator was the best decision I made throughout quarantine. I learned so much about the industry -- different career paths, how to network efficiently, how styling works and more. I would recommend this to ANYONE interested in fashion or styling."

• "I felt like it was a great stepping stone for me to see if this is an area that I could potentially go into."

This is personal.

I've been where you are. Each summer I was in college, I desperately looked forward to coming to New York City and interning. Those months not only defined my future career path, but also equipped me with much-needed practical and professional skills.

In my internship at Hearst magazines, I learned about public relations through working on my favorite brands: Cosmopolitan, ELLE, Harper’s BAZAAR, Marie Claire, and Seventeen.

At Michael Kors, I worked behind the scenes at fashion shows and helped cast top models.

With Starworks Group, I discovered the ins and outs of celebrity dressing, and how celebrities get their hands on the most beautiful clothes.

In my spare time, I was on-set with stylists, assisting them on shoots for Interview and Vogue, and doing informational interviews with people whom I was desperate to learn from.

I came to life in these experiences and realized a career in fashion was not something I just wanted, but was something I knew I could achieve.

As someone who benefited so much these experiences, I am devastated by the canceled internship programs this summer due to COVID-19.

I want to offer the next-best thing to an in-person internship for those who are just as eager as I was to get my foot in the door.
