Our new cohort has us reflecting 🤔
On one hand there are our new students — just starting their apparel design journey. Then there are our graduate students who’ve already left the fold.
What separates those who take the plunge and give themselves a chance to succeed?
Yes, one ingredient is technique. We got you there ✅
Another ingredient is opportunity and connection. (Thank you F.A.C.E. Michelle Lynch and ATL Film, Entertainment, & Nightlife for supporting our emerging designers) ✅
Another powerful ingredient is believing in yourself. Believe that if YOU do the work, the results will follow. Understand that CONSISTENCY is key.
We’re proud to celebrate two graduates who will be featured at this Sunday’s FACES F.A.C.E. Annual Fashion Show. D’Voncii Design House by Deondre Stephanie-Lynn OPTCK
And proud of our other fashion entrepreneurs taking a chance on themselves. We see you Made To Love Permanent Jewelry 😍
