The Summer Fashion Camp was built for ambitious fashion enthusiasts like you — ready to learn, create, and finally feel in the game.

Welcome to the 4th Edition of the Summer Fashion Camp!

After three successful editions, the Summer Fashion Camp is back — and this year, it’s completely reimagined.

In 2025, we’re bringing you NOT JUST A COURSE, but the Summer Internships you can do from home!

This year’s camp is all about doing the work and get feedback— the kind that makes recruiters notice, even if you’ve never stepped foot in a fashion office.

Instead of waiting for someone to give you an internship, this experience lets you simulate one — from styling briefs to PR campaigns, marketing plans to editorial production. You’ll complete real-world fashion projects that look like you’ve already interned at companies like Burberry, Louis Vuitton, and Vogue.

This is your chance to spend the summer not just learning about fashion — but actively working on it.

✅ Hands-on assignments
✅ Portfolio-ready results
✅ Insider feedback
✅ Confidence that you can actually do the job

🏠 A Simulated Internship Experience

Step into the shoes of a fashion assistant or intern. Every week, you'll complete a new real-world assignment inspired by the work done at brands like Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, and Vogue.

They will go straight into your resume, your LinkedIn and your Portfolio!

📚 Weekly Expert-Led Masterclasses + Personalized Feedback on your Portfolio Projects

Learn directly from professionals working at top fashion houses and publications. From styling to PR, get behind-the-scenes insights you won’t find on Google or in school.

🌐 100% Online - Join from everywhere in the world!

🎓Download your Certificate of Completion and Add it to your Resume and LinkedIn

✨ Real Projects You’ll Complete:

8 weeks. 6 hands-on projects. Zero experience required.

✅ Fashion Styling Project
with Hetty Appleton Miles (Stylist at Burberry) on a professional styling brief.

✅ Brand Project with Phoebe Gates
Collaborate on a real-world assignment for Phia, the fashion-tech startup co-founded by Phoebe Gates.

✅ PR & Marketing Strategy
Plan the full campaign for the next Miu Miu x New Balance collab — including launch, seeding, and buzz.

✅ Trend Moodboard
Spot, group, and present fashion trends like a buyer, forecaster, or Vogue editor after Fashion Week.

✅ Saint Laurent Store Event
Create a VIP boutique activation — from guest list to styling moments — just like a brand marketing team.

✅ Your Own Fashion Magazine
Step into the Editor-in-Chief seat: build your team, design the layout, and reimagine your dream issue.

By the end of the camp, you’ll have a portfolio of 6 real projects to showcase in applications, interviews, and on LinkedIn.

All you need is a laptop and internet. We’ll guide you step-by-step — no fashion background required.

Hey fashion friend,

Years ago I was where you are today. Fashion was my passion but I didn't know anything about it. I felt lost about what steps to take to break in.

Furthermore, I wasn't studying fashion. While I was getting my bachelor's degree in Management Engineering, I sought additional resources beyond university to expand my knowledge about the industry.

So I spent each summer during university learning more about the fashion industry. These summer experiences impressed recruiters when I was at my job interview with Alexander McQueen and they helped me secure my first internship at the luxury brand.

During my job interview at Alexander McQueen, the recruiter was astounded by my commitment to my fashion career during those summer breaks when I was a management engineering student.

So with the Summer Fashion Camp I want to help you have clarity by teaching you all the industry secrets of the fashion job applications and at the same time provide you with a valuable certification and a portfolio full of projects to show to recruiters. I worked at Alexander McQueen, Kering and YNAP and I've been a fashion educator for over a decade now. In this Summer Fashion Camp I'll guide you to find and apply for your dream roles in fashion.

Whether you're aiming to land a job this summer, in the fall, or preparing for future opportunities in 2026, our camp will equip you with the essential knowledge and skills to excel.

Let's do this!

With love,

Giada
