Design, Sew & Walk the Runway

Fashion Camp is for kids and teens ages 8–18. No prior sewing or design experience is needed — we start from the very basics and build progressively.

Absolutely. Fashion Camp welcomes all kids and teens ages 8–18, regardless of gender. Fashion and design are for everyone.

Not at all. We welcome complete beginners. The instructor guides each child at their own pace, from threading a needle to operating a sewing machine.

The Grand Finale Fashion Show takes place at our boutique-style studio at 34 Middle Neck Road, Great Neck, NY — date announced soon — and all family and friends are invited. Every camper from both weeks walks the runway in the garment they designed and made themselves. The venue is surrounded by shops, restaurants, and boutiques, with a parking lot right in the back — easy to get to, easy to park, and easy to grab lunch right after. It's a safe, one-of-a-kind setting that makes the whole event feel like a real fashion moment.

Each session is capped at 10 students. Small class sizes are intentional — every child gets hands-on guidance and individualized attention throughout the week.

Camp takes place at 34 Middle Neck Road, Great Neck, NY — a boutique-style studio surrounded by shops, restaurants, and boutiques. There's a parking lot right in the back, it's easy to get to, and the neighborhood is safe and welcoming. The same location hosts the Grand Finale Fashion Show, so families already know exactly where to go.

Camp runs Monday through Friday. Morning session is 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM, afternoon session is 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM, and full-day session is 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.

Drop-off is at the start of your session (9:00 AM for morning and full-day, 1:00 PM for afternoon). Pick-up is at the end of your session (1:00 PM for morning, 5:00 PM for afternoon and full-day). The exact address and any parking details will be shared with enrolled families prior to the first day. Please do not drop off early or pick up late without prior arrangement.

Yes. Every session is supervised by Yulia Berman and a dedicated assistant — two instructors for a maximum of 10 students. Your child will never be unsupervised. In case of an emergency, you will be contacted immediately via the phone number provided on your enrollment form.

Yes — tuition is all-inclusive. Sewing machines, all tools, a selection of fabrics, trims, and embellishments are all provided at no extra cost. The only optional expense is if your child would like to bring their own fabrics and materials to personalize their garment further. Budget approximately $30–$60 for personal materials if you choose to purchase them.

Just a packed lunch, a water bottle, and their creativity. All tools and professional equipment are provided. A selection of fabrics and trims is included — students are encouraged to bring or purchase their own fabrics and embellishments to best express their personal style.

A selection of fabrics, trims, and embellishments will be provided. However, we highly recommend that each designer comes with their own materials so their garment truly reflects their personal style. Here's what to look for:

1. 4 yards of fabric. 100% cotton is recommended, or any woven fabric of medium weight. Avoid chiffon, silk, or stretch fabrics.
2. Trims & embellishments — ribbons, beads, lace, gemstones, or anything that sparks their creativity.
3. 3 regular plastic zippers, 16–18 inches.
4. Thread to match your fabric — cotton thread preferred.

For Summer 2027, just fill out the short interest form on this page — about a minute. Tell us your child's info and which session interests you. There's no payment to register: we'll reach out with exact dates, details, and enrollment steps as soon as they're set.

No. Registering your interest for Summer 2027 is completely free — just submit the form and we'll be in touch. Payment only comes later, once you decide to enroll and dates are confirmed. Sessions are capped at 10 students, so early interest helps you get first pick.

Tuition is held at this year's rates: $675 per week half-day and $1,200 per week full-day, with bundle discounts for both weeks. No payment is due to register interest — final Summer 2027 pricing is confirmed when dates are announced.

We're finalizing the Summer 2027 calendar now — expect two one-week sessions in July, following the same format as this year. Register your interest and you'll be the first to receive exact dates, then you can enroll.

Once Summer 2027 dates are confirmed, everyone who registered interest hears first. You'll pick your week and schedule, complete a quick enrollment form, and secure your child's spot — we'll share full payment details at that time.

We'll email to confirm we've got your info, then keep you posted as Summer 2027 takes shape — dates, schedule options, and how to enroll. No paperwork or payment needed just to be on the list.

All camp communications — confirmation, schedule updates, location details, and day-of reminders — are sent via email and text. Please make sure your contact information is accurate on your form.

Yes — we photograph and film the runway show and select camp moments for promotional use (website, social media, and marketing materials). Photo and video release consent is collected during the online enrollment form — you can opt in or out at that time. If you prefer your child not to be photographed, simply uncheck the release box and we will fully respect your wishes.

A missed day is a missed day — we are not able to offer make-up sessions. Each day builds on the previous one, so we encourage full attendance. If your child misses a day, they are welcome to continue from where the group is on the next scheduled day.

Each session is intentionally capped at 10 students, so every child gets hands-on, individual attention. Because spots are limited, registering your interest early for Summer 2027 helps you get first pick of week and schedule.
