Reia attended her last day at a short course at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. FIT as it is called has several short courses for high school students.

These are held either on Saturdays or Sundays for 3 hours. They last for about 3 months and has around 11 to 12 classes.Reia took a beginners course in fashion design. And when she entered the classroom knew nothing about fashion design except that it was something she wanted to do.
3 months and 12 classes later she still knows very little. But knows she knows very little and yet knows much more than she did when she started.
On Day 1, the first thing the professor got the class to do was create a design based on what they knew. And on the last day, they were asked to once again create a design based on what they now knew.
The finale was to be the comparing of the 2 designs. Great idea. Except in New York. The professor had his stuff stolen and so the original designs were lost. But having learnt her lesson, Reia took photographs of the designs that she still had.
And her final design below is a gown for Taylor Swift. Who knows? One day, she might actually design a gown that Taylor Swift or the latest teen sensation wears.
Thanks FIT. Investing in school students is a great idea. For them . And for you.
