Fashion Future (12 - 18)

Fashion! Skills! Knowledge! Trips! Talks!
Students will be given a comprehensive view of the fashion industry through exclusive trips, tours, talks from industry experts and masterclasses. Why not book an optional afternoon tea at The Ivy to make this an even more memorable experience?
