Students in the DI Fashion Workshop take two classes of their choosing through FIT's Summer Live Pre-College Program, one morning and one afternoon. Classes are Monday through Thursday, July 12th to July 29th. On Fridays, DI's fashion expert will facilitate a fashion industry event, such as a tour. During the first week of DI, there are no FIT classes. However, interns will continue their fashion education by going to fashion museums, textile manufacturers, showrooms, and other noteworthy sites in the garment district and NYC as facilitated by our in-house fashion expert.

A sample of classes available includes:

  • Introduction to the Fashion Design Industry
