How One Small Studio is Empowering the Next Generation of Designers—And How You Can Too

BY Kerri Quigley, September 10, 2026

When you walk into a Fashion Class studio, it doesn’t feel like a traditional classroom. There’s music playing, sewing machines buzzing, colorful fabrics draped over dress forms, and—most importantly—kids who are completely lit up with creativity.

You’ll see a 9-year-old proudly holding up her first skirt. A teenager adjusting the hem on a self-drafted jumpsuit. A group of friends giggling as they glue rhinestones onto a jacket. It’s vibrant, joyful, and full of purpose.

But behind the glitter and glam, something deeper is happening: kids are learning confidence, independence, patience, and real-world skills. And our franchisees? They’re the ones creating that magic in their communities.

More Than Sewing—A Space to Grow

The Fashion Class isn’t just about fashion (though we do love a good runway moment). It’s about giving young people the tools to express themselves, try something new, and build self-esteem in a screen-free, hands-on environment.

Our classes teach kids how to sew, design, and create wearable pieces from scratch—but they also teach collaboration, focus, and pride in a job well done. Our students walk out taller, prouder, and more confident than when they walked in.

And the best part? Our franchise owners get to lead the way.

A Business with Heart (and Sparkle)

Starting your own business can be daunting—but what if it wasn’t? What if it came with a proven model, full training, step-by-step curriculum, and a supportive community cheering you on?

That’s exactly what we offer at The Fashion Class.

Whether you’re a fashion-lover, a teacher, a parent, or a creative entrepreneur, you don’t need a business degree or a design background to open your own studio. What you do need is passion, dedication, and a desire to make a difference.

We’ll show you the rest.

Now It’s Your Turn

If you’ve ever dreamed of running a business that’s both profitable and purposeful—this is your sign.

The Fashion Class is expanding, and we’re looking for passionate, hands-on leaders in new communities to bring our creative mission to life. Whether you want more flexibility, more freedom, or more fun in your work life, becoming a franchise owner could be your next chapter.
