TheGifted School of Design

Fashion Foundations

Students learn the basics of sketching, stitching, styling, and storytelling through clothes. From understanding fabrics to supporting live showcases, they gain real-world experience and discover how style becomes voice.

Graphic Design for Fashion

Through digital design, branding, and visual storytelling, students learn to shape how fashion speaks. We train them in accessible tools and techniques to create logos, merch mockups, and promo visuals.

Health, Beauty, and Wellness

More than makeup and hair — students explore beauty through a lens of culture, care, and confidence. They learn techniques in skincare, protective styling, and self-expression while embracing body positivity and self-worth.

Who It's For

This program is for middle and high school students who are:

  • Creative, but may not have had access to arts training before

  • Curious about fashion, design, and beauty

  • Looking for a place where they are seen, heard, and valued

  • Ready to grow in community with other young artists and changemakers

No experience required. Just the courage to show up and the desire to grow.

Real Work. Real Impact.

Students won’t just practice in a classroom — they’ll be part of our productions, supporting our annual fashion and other showcases behind the scenes. They’ll design, prep, style, and build — bringing art to life while learning the work ethic that fuels excellence.

This isn’t pretend. This is preparation.

The Gifted Journey: Understand. Embrace. Transcend.

Every Gifted program follows our signature framework — and this is no different.

  • Understand your roots, your gifts, and the systems that shaped them.

  • Embrace your skills, your voice, and the work it takes to grow.

  • Transcend obstacles by applying your creativity with courage, leadership, and impact.

This is how we develop Personal Power — defined by self-worth, confidence, and drive. This is how we prepare our youth not just to participate, but to lead.
