Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Process of Education in E-Learning Fashion School?
- You submit an application for education for the course you select from our courses page
- After the advanced payment you receive access: login and password to e-learning school portal where video-lessons, home assignments, tests and extra course materials are published. You also receive a workbook to keep your records.
- Course is divided into modules. You watch video lessons and additional materials for each course module.
- After watching each module you complete all home assignments, pass the evaluation test online on the material covered.
- At the end of education you complete the final course project (create a style and image for a particular person, make a fashion-shooting, develop a fashion blog, etc., as evaluated by an Italian instructor).
- Upon completing the education, passing the test and the final course project you receive a certificate on completion of education in English and Italian languages.
- As part of practice after the education you may complete an in-person workshop with an Italian designer from Milan in the direction chosen (you can find the cost of such internship here)
If you’d like an in-depth individual practical approach with an Italian instructor in an online format, what we might suggest is the “Individual training” (contact us to know more detail here)
Is it efficient to study fashion online?
Study fashion online is a perfect way to have the most current European knowledge in fashion without spending too much time and money. You don’t need to spend your time and money travelling to Italy to complete the fashion education.
You’re virtually present at the lessons in Milan, watch video-lectures, where Italian teachers tell you about fashion and style, and show you examples of photo sessions, photos of successful and failure looks, assess the wardrobe and image of different people, etc. You complete your practical assignments and other test tasks.
Your studies are in no way different from those in-person lectures in an institution. Their main difference is that:
- First of all, you can pause a video lecture at any time and review the moments you didn’t understand; something impossible during on-site courses.
- Secondly, you can divide the education course into segments as to your convenience (your lesson may continue anywhere from 10 min to 3 hours per day). Your studies of fashion, image and style will be a pleasure.
- Thirdly, video lessons on fashion and style can be watched at home, during travel, at a vacation home, in a café – all you need is a computer, an ipad or a smartphone with video watching capabilities.
- Fourthly, you can study at any time of day or night, whenever you have an opportunity and wish to do so.

Is It Possible to start working in fashion after studying at iELFs?
Yes, the practical example of our graduates shows it to be totally real.
Out of those graduating from the iELFs, many people start working professionally in various areas of fashion. Part of them start working as personal stylists and fashion stylists. Some people work in fashion magazines. Some graduates open their own showrooms and clothing shops.
It all depends on your desire and on how much attention you pay to education and home assignments.
Education itself – is it just theoretical, or are there any practical assignments?
We’re against the purely theoretical approach to studying fashion and style.
Therefore the education program is built in such a way that theory must be complemented with practice. You receive applied skills and knowledge that you may use in real life after the very first lessons.
All knowledge and skills given by Italian teachers during online lessons are supported with creative practical assignments every student completes.
