This curriculum is unlike any other you've ever seen, consisting of traditional fashion school lessons from ideation to construction, with additional lessons on topics beyond design that aren't taught in art schools, such as the real-world production, business, marketing, and management knowledge needed to succeed.

WHO IS THIS FASHION PROGRAM RIGHT FOR?
Are you ready to really focus and make an effort?
To learn the actual creative and business skills you need?
To follow your passion for fashion and change your life?
Hi! My name is Angelica, aka Velvet Kat, and I'm the founder of the Fashion Academy & Network. I created the Fashion Academy to bring out the creative and success potential of aspiring fashion designers-like you!
I've been drawing since I was a 5 and fell in love with fashion when I was 13. Started teaching fashion and illustration a couple years ago, while also creating artwork for clients around the world.
Through my experiences in the fashion industry as a freelancer, collaborator, and entrepreneur on the pursuit of my own dreams, I learned many things on my own that I didn't learn in fashion school, and felt a sudden drive to help others not make the same mistakes or endure the same obstacles.
I've also especially learned to be confident in my own self-expression, evolving from an incredibly shy girl to the eccentric independent woman I am today. That is not to say that I am perfectly fearsome, because I still have my introvert moments, but I'm always capable of staying true to myself.
With patience, innovation, clear and focused direction, and challenges that inspire you to grow, I look forward to leading you into the life of your dreams!
