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!
QUESTIONS?
-
How much does the fashion program cost?Affordable unlike any fashion program you've ever heard of, these are the payment plans you can choose from: ONLINE STUDENT - $89 deposit and $179/month for 9 months or - $490 deposit and $89/month for 12 months LOS ANGELES STUDENT - $189 deposit and $290/month for 10 months or - $790 deposit and $189/month for 10 months
-
I'm completely new to fashion. Will this program work for me?Absolutely! The fashion program is actually best for beginners and those that have maybe tinkered. If you're already experienced, you'll still learn tons of new things, but you'll have to be patient with the days that consist of things you already know.
-
What if I already know how to sew?You can still take the class to add to your practice and knowledge in sewing, because then you'll also learn to build a sustainable business from your designs. Being a designer is not just about making pretty clothes. If you're not interested in learning methods of gaining income from fashion design, then you're just a hobbyist, and this program is not for you.
-
I already launched my own fashion business, and just want to learn how to make it successful."Congratulations on the courage to start this journey! You'll still love the fashion program, or you can also check out the LEARN button on my website menu. I have one-on-one business and marketing lessons, my VK Network, and continuing to add new educational resources.

I don't know what I want to do as a career, but I know I love fashion. How will this program help me?"It's no problem at all that you're not sure on what you want to do, because even many that think they know end up realizing it's not what they expected and change paths. Through this program, you'll be learning a variety of topics, all of which have their own careers. Becoming a fashion designer isn't the only possibility. Take me, for example - I've built a sustainable career out of my fashion illustrations and have also decided to start teaching fashion entrepreneurship. So in this program, you'll learn what works for you after you try everything out that is taught in the curriculum.
