"Fashion has become a code, a cultural code," Feldman continued. "These days, where style is so omnipresent - every star has his own line of clothes, wants to express himself through fashion - we're seeing a fashion lifestyle. It's not just clothes anymore, but how you live your life. It's a view into the heart, the essence of things. And it's a code that's malleable now, not as hard and fixed as in the past. With each reconstruction, we're changing people's views and attitudes - it's a liberating moment in time"...

ABOUT DECÖ

Fashion Stylist Certificate -3

 

DECÖ is the World Fashion Council's professional education counter-part. Our workshops are in high demand because they are taught by industry and educational professionals (many traveling from the best fashion education programs in the US such as Parsons, Pratt & FIT). We restrict enrollment in each of its classes to provide an intimate learning environment and ensure that each of our students has the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed in the field of fashion.

This reflects our educational philosophy, our personal commitment to our students and our ongoing efforts to reclaim the role of professional training, apprenticeships and real-world learning in fashion education. In addition to exciting member workshops such as the Fashion Stylist Workshop Certificate and our Fashion Trend-Forecasting Certificate we also offer a Fashion Sewing Workshop Series and a Fashion Illustration Workshop Series

. At request, a certificate of workshop completion is available upon completion of all workshops.

Press Release Excerpt From Initial Launch of Fashion Stylist Certificate 1/2008:

Students in the 10-week fashion styling program, which starts Tuesday, will learn about the role of a professional stylist, which is to create "looks" and combine them with the client's lifestyle. Stylists also work with fashion designers and photographers.

Fashion Stylist Certificate -4

 

Marc Feldman, co-chairman of the New England Fashion & Design Association, said the program will allow students to network with industry professionals, who will help teach the course, and work on the group's events.

 

In November, the association held a fundraiser to showcase the work of celebrity stylist and designer Kithe Brewster, whose clients include model Heidi Klum and actress Gwyneth Paltrow, and designer Rubin Singer, a Fairfield County native. Some students will have the opportunity to help with shows during Fashion Week, held twice a year in New York City to showcase designer collections. Feldman said the course is an economic introduction to the emerging industry of image consulting and fashion styling."It's a really up-and-coming kind of area in both fashion and business," Feldman said.

He said he recently read about a real estate company that hired stylists to work with its employees, which resulted in an increase in sales. The 10-week modeling certificate program, which begins tomorrow, will teach basic skills for the runway and magazine photo shoots, and help students develop a professional portfolio. The course costs $975.

Also tomorrow, the design cooperative will host a workshop for disc jockeys that will focus on the emerging specialty of using music to create moods for fashion shows.
