About the Winner

Fashion Boot Camp 101 are products and services for teens who want to pursue a career in the fashion industry. Through workshops and products we turn teen fashionistas into future fashion moguls!

We are currently launching our first ever teen fashion styling course! Through the use of a professional photographer, models and hair/makeup professionals, teens will get to experience what it's like being a real fashion stylist. They will create looks and run their own photo shoot. All clothing will be borrowed from Forever 21 and Lulus.com. Plus they will have photos to start a portfolio. This is an experience like no other.

The best part is we are bringing this course to multiple cities such as NYC, LA, Chicago, Texas and more!

We also just launched webinars. Now teens from all over the US can take our original workshop online. Learn about different fashion careers, how-to find an internship, write a resume and more!
