Marc Jacobs’ infamous grunge collection got him fired; it also won him the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year Award. He went on to become the creative director for Louis Vuitton for sixteen years before leaving to concentrate on his own eponymous line. In his first online class, the eleven-time CFDA Award-winning designer teaches his hands-on process for creating clothes that push boundaries and set trends. Learn Marc’s construction techniques, how he creates unique shapes and silhouettes, and how you can develop your own ideas from first sketch to final piece.
In her twenties, Diane von Furstenberg convinced a textile factory owner in Italy to let her produce her first designs. With those samples, she flew to New York City to build one of the world’s most iconic and enduring fashion brands. In her first online class, Diane teaches you how to build an apparel brand from start to finish. You’ll learn how to create a visual identity, build loyalty, stay true to your vision, and launch your product.
