Welcome to the 5th Edition of the Summer Fashion Camp!
After 4 successful editions, the Summer Fashion Camp is back — and this year, it's the most comprehensive yet.
The Summer Fashion Camp is organized by Glam Observer, the biggest fashion career academy, founded in 2018 by Giada Graziano — fashion career expert and mentor, Forbes 30 Under 30 in education, and former Alexander McQueen, YOOX Net-a-Porter, and Kering.
Over the years, Glam Observer has helped thousands of people break into fashion through its practical training.
Today, over 5,000 students from all over the world are enrolled in Glam Observer courses.
In 2026, we're bringing you NOT JUST A COURSE — but the summer internships you can do from home.
This year's camp is about getting everything you really need to make it in fashion. All the pieces of the puzzle — not one, not two, but the 3-part system you need to get hired.
You need three things to get hired in fashion nowadays:
1. The insider hiring knowledge to understand how fashion really hires — not the typical resume and cover letter advice you can find on Google or ask ChatGPT, but the kind you typically learn only once you're inside.
2. The proof that you're ready to contribute from day one. Fashion companies want to hire people who understand what the role is going to be about, because you'll move faster and be ready to contribute sooner than those who need to be taught everything. With the projects inside this camp, you'll practice what your future job will be, so you'll be prepared — and you'll show it to companies. You'll complete real-world fashion projects that look like you've already interned at companies such as Vogue, Saint Laurent, and Miu Miu.
3. Real skills. Not passion, not just industry knowledge, but the skills that fashion professionals actually use and test during job interviews, such as Microsoft Excel.
The Summer Fashion Camp gives you all three — pulled from our three most popular courses: Break Into the Fashion Industry, the Fashion Internship Simulator, and Excel for Fashion. Plus exclusive masterclasses with industry professionals joining as your guest lecturers and mentors.
This is your chance to spend the summer not just learning about fashion — but actually working in it.
What Makes Summer Fashion Camp Different?
Most fashion courses teach you theory. The history. The "passion." The vibes.
Then you finish — and you still can't answer the one question that actually decides everything:
And the bigger one a recruiter is silently asking:
That's the gap nobody fills. You can be passionate, talented, willing to work — and still get ignored, because no one ever showed you how this industry really hires, and you have nothing yet to prove you can do the work.
The Summer Fashion Camp is built backwards from that question.
No experience? Perfect. This is how you get it.
What students of the previous editions are saying:
What I really took away from this course was how this course truly prepares you for the real life working fashion environment, something not many will learn about these takeaways through college courses.
This was truly a guidance process to me and I’m super grateful to have obtained these resources that will help me find my full time job/internship in the fashion world.
- Gissel, Summer Fashion Camp Alum
The portfolio ideas WERE GREAT! Not only did I enjoy the process of doing various projects, but I used the project to apply for internships too!
Without a doubt, I would definitely recommend this course to every person starting their journey in fashion. This course was a 10/10!
- Ria, Summer Fashion Camp Alum
I learned how to structure a fashion magazine, develop editorial concepts, apply educated styling techniques, and create unique interpretations of a brief…
The program isn’t generic, and gives you a realistic insight into the fashion industry… and will seriously level up your skills.
- Rachael
Before attending the course, I knew I wanted to work in the fashion industry, but I wasn’t certain which specific field suited me best. I discovered my true interest: public relations.
This class provided a comprehensive insight into the fashion industry from a marketing and public relations perspective, and helped me develop practical skills that are essential for a career in fashion PR, such as brand positioning, media outreach, and campaign planning.
— Tanit
It wasn’t just theory — it felt like stepping into the heart of the luxury industry… I genuinely felt like I was launching a piece of fashion history...I felt like I was literally part of Vogue.
— Martina
Meet your lead mentor:
Giada Graziano, founder of Glam Observer and Summer Fashion Camp.
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 2027, our camp will equip you with the essential knowledge and skills to excel.
Let's do this!
With love,
Giada

The camp starts on July 6th and runs for 8 weeks. You get immediate access to all three courses the moment you enroll — Break Into the Fashion Industry, the Fashion Internship Simulator, and Excel for Fashion. These are pre-recorded, so you can follow them at your own pace, but we also give you a suggested 8-week schedule so you're never guessing what to do next.
The live classes follow set dates on the calendar:
Are there live sessions?
Yes. You'll get live sessions on Zoom: three masterclasses with industry guests — Sofia Stahl (Fashion Editorials & Magazines, July 6), Martina Corsi from Louis Vuitton (Product Development, July 13), and Ife Oyetade from Condé Nast (Art Direction, July 22) — each with a live mentorship Q&A, plus a live career-questions call with Giada on July 21. They're your chance to learn from people working inside the industry and ask them anything.
What if I can't attend a live session?
No problem — every live session is recorded, and you'll have lifetime access to all the recordings to watch and re-watch whenever you want. Joining live just means you can ask your own questions in real time.
As soon as you enroll, you'll get an email from the Glam Observer Fashion Academy with your login details. You can log in immediately and start the three courses right away if you wish — and inside the portal you'll also find the links to the live Zoom sessions. Everything lives in one place, accessible whenever you want.
Here's the recommended path (you can start with whichever course you like — nothing is locked):
Are there assignments?
Yes — four real portfolio projects that put your learning into practice and give you proof to show recruiters: Editor-in-Chief for a Week, Assistant Stylist (Vogue editorial), Marketing Assistant (Saint Laurent), and PR Assistant (Miu Miu). You can complete all four, or focus on the one closest to the role you want.
What if I am on vacation one of the weeks?
You're covered. All the course lessons are pre-recorded, so you follow at your own pace, and the live sessions are recorded too. Enjoy your summer — the camp fits around it, not the other way around.
How much time does it take?
Plan for about 30 minutes a day for the lessons. The live classes have their own set times (all recorded if you can't make it), and each project takes around 2–3 hours, done whenever it fits your week.

What do I need to participate?
A laptop or desktop and an internet connection. No special software needed (you'll use free tools like Canva and Excel along the way).
Can I access the materials on my phone or tablet?
Yes, the portal works on any device with internet. We recommend a laptop or desktop for the best experience, especially when working on your projects.
