FASHION STYLING FUNDAMENTALS WORKSHOP
WORKSHOP SUMMARY
Welcome to the Fashion Styling Fundamentals Workshop by Toronto Fashion Academy. This intensive and informative workshop is designed to prepare and enhance your skills for an exciting career as a Fashion Stylist. The skills, techniques, and knowledge you will
acquire in this workshop will exemplify and qualify you to understand and meet professional standards. Fashion consultants not only create important looks for their clients, they also influence and create trends for the entire fashion industry.
The course is 32 hours divided into 16 hours of in-class/virtual sessions and 16 practical hours. The workshop is one month long, with classes taking place only on the weekends, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The classes are kept small to ensure the quality of learning. There are no pre-requisites required to take this workshop. Most of the classes will take place online whereas your practical hours need to be in-person.
