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!

Hello! I always wanted to become a fashion designer, but, unfortunately, due to circumstances, I could not get this profession, fortunately, now you can study online. I found your school on the Internet and after reading the reviews I chose it! I want to say thank you very much! It is very convenient that you can borrow at any time. 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. I would like to say a special thank you to Julia, the teacher at the Fashion Design course! Very prompt and responsive feedback from her. I had no experience in this area at all. Julia helped me a lot, and with her advice I created my first collection, which I am very pleased with! Good luck with your work! Thanks!!!

Mary Minasyan

I recently completed a fashion designer course and was very satisfied. I got a lot of new knowledge for further work. Separately, I want to thank the teacher Yulia Kulakova.

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.
