An excellent high-level school for those who decide to devote themselves to fashion and style. When I chose a school, the determining factor was a modern approach, up-to-date information, this is very important in the rapidly changing world of fashion. This is knowledge from the source, because Italy is one of the main trendsetters.
I really liked the Italian teachers, the learning format, the opportunity for practice and feedback. The course contained all the basic information, all important aspects were affected. Education at the school is suitable for both beginners and advanced ones to expand their knowledge. Thanks to the school for my new opportunities, I wish you success and prosperity!

I graduated from the Italian E-Larning Fashion School. Excellent course. Well-organized and well-chosen teaching material. Excellent teachers. Learned a lot. Special thanks to Yulia Kulakova and all the teaching staff. Thanks.
Nina Lapshov
I completed a fashion designer course. I already had the knowledge when I came to the course, while for me there were a lot of insights and new information. I really liked how the topics and the presentation of the material were distributed. These are not tiring long videos, but interesting lessons, divided by topic, which is not tiring and you can digest the information after each lesson. Very interesting homework assignments, despite the fact that I already have the skills, it took me time to complete them to the required level of quality. For me, the acquired knowledge is enough to start developing myself as a brand. Thank you very much to the teacher Yulia Kulakova for the good feedback and interesting lessons. I wish you to enjoy learning and good luck in your new and wonderful creative profession.

The video tutorials are interesting, there are many examples (this is very convenient), there is no empty information at all, everything is clear on the case.

“The boundless girl.
Light, thin, bright, harmonious.
A wide range of colors, flexibility of choice – for every taste. Without limits.
Girl, 23-35 years old.
Creative personality, thinks outside the box.
Maybe a little weird because of her creative personality.

She has a floating / free schedule. Likes to walk down the street, dreaming, buying coffee along the way. She has long, wavy hair.
Slim. Easy going. Work does not require a dress code.
After work, in her free time she reads / studies / walks with friends.
She lives alone in an apartment, more often she is independent and free. Loves romance.”
