"If I had the chance to relive my fashion class experience, I wouldn't hesitate for a second! The third class of this track, fashion merchandise, was so much more than just learning about textiles and trends; it was a deep dive into the creative and entrepreneurial side of the fashion industry. From creating a unique brand identity to actually designing and creating clothing pieces, this class offered a hands-on experience that brought my ideas to life. It didn't just stop at design; this course also covered crucial business aspects, teaching me how to navigate such a competitive market. Every project further equipped me with skills and confidence to chase my dreams in the fashion world." - Hannah Congo

"This class was so helpful with real-life skills, such as: improving fashion style and learning how to sew and make changes to different garments. This can really come into place when you can't find a specific clothing piece you need, or fixing something that is worn or torn, this helps budget and saves money. The experience opens so many different doors and opportunities to learn new things and meet new people with different styles and views as your own. From an academic standpoint you learn essential things like; color theory, design skills,and instruction skills. That can help with building a portfolio, business, and personal reasons." - Halle Ingram
