IDAAY Youth Fashion Program is a 12-week program offering unique fashion education to high school youth. Youth will learn technical fashion design skills including garment construction and fashion illustration. Guest instructors will give the youth unique insight on keeping their skills fashion forward and industry ready. Love the runway? Youth will experience what it takes to make a successful runway show by volunteering backstage at a local fashion show. They will also tread along the surface of entrepreneurship while vending during one of Philadelphia's largest festivals. At the end of the program, youth will shine in the spotlight during their showcase at IDAAY's annual Founders' Day event.
Each class is held conveniently on Mondays during after school hours at IDAAY's main office, conveniently located near the corner of 56th and Chestnut and easily accessible by public transportation such as the Market-Frankford Line and busses 21, G, and more.
