Discover the Best Fashion Classes in Los Angeles

If you live in Los Angeles, you may be the type of person who is always on top of the latest trends. If you find yourself buying new clothing as the seasons change, looking for that perfect piece that will stand out on social media, you already have an idea of what fashion is. Generally speaking, when people talk about fashion they are referring to a type of self-expression and autonomy that allows a person to try on many roles in life. There is a global industry that centers around fashion, specifically related to anticipating what consumers will wear and how they want to present themselves to others. Anyone can change their style at any time, and anyone can learn the art of fashion.

Why You Should Learn Fashion in Los Angeles

Are you looking for a way to relieve stress or perhaps do something productive with your free time? Learning the art of fashion can be a great way to accomplish both of these goals at the same time. Once you start learning fashion, you may fill your free time with studying trends, visiting stores, or coming up with content ideas to post to social media. By learning fashion, you can even help others who perhaps do not have the eye for outfits and trends that you do create outfits that they will love.

There is a global community that loves fashion, both as a hobby and in a professional sense. Once you understand the basics of fashion, it might be a good idea to research local clubs, groups, events, and organizations where you can meet others that are interested in fashion. Just bear in mind that these groups are generally for social purposes, and not so people who are more experienced with fashion can teach a beginner.

And there’s a possibility that you can put your love of fashion on your resume as an employable skill. If you learn how to make outfits that are visually appealing, you could easily take that one step further and start a side hustle where you dress customers for a fee. And if your love of fashion rolls over into getting crafty, a little time with a needle and thread could lead to you making your own customized clothing pieces that you could sell online or in-person.

In-Person Fashion Classes in Los Angeles

If you would like to learn about fashion in Los Angeles, CourseHorse can connect you with classes that will help you further your education. For example, Fashion Pattern Making I is offered at Los Angeles City College. This hands-on class introduces you to the world of fashion pattern making, and teaches you how to make your own garments and patterns by using step-by-step techniques. 

InDesign Bootcamp is offered at Training Connection and may be useful if you are planning on making your fashion designs using Adobe InDesign. This all levels class will take you from an InDesign beginner to an expert over a series of five sessions that teach you everything you need to know about the software. 

Atomic Tailor Studios puts on Patternmaking for Fashion Design, a class for those who are new to making patterns or who have used commercial patterns in the past. You will start from the beginning with how to take proper measurements and then move on to learning how to draft your first pattern.

Virtual Fashion Classes 

Don’t want to take an in-person fashion class in Los Angeles? Taking a virtual fashion class has its pros and cons, but it is a good option to consider. You can attend a virtual fashion class from anywhere, which means you can work on your fashion project in the comfort of your own home, at the beach, or even in a coffee shop–wherever you want. You also do not have to commute to a classroom, which saves both money and time. The biggest con about taking an online fashion class is that you generally have to supply your own materials and equipment.

If you are interested in online fashion classes, CourseHorse has a variety of options to suit your needs. For example, How to Start Your Fashion Company: Design Your Line is a live online course offered by M SHOP. This all levels class offers you firsthand expertise on how to set up your fashion business, and will show you how to go from an idea in your mind to physical designs in your hands. 

Another M SHOP offering is How to Manufacture Your Clothing + Accessories Lines, which will tell you everything you need to know about creating a physical product on a larger scale. Your instructor teaches at premier fashion institutions, so you know you are in good hands. 

How to Start Your Fashion Company: E-Comm + Boutique by M SHOP is a live online offering that will take you from concept to owning your own fashion shop. There are tips and tricks taught for both online and physical stores, depending on your interests and who the audience is for your designs.

How to Become a Fashion Stylist is a live online class from M SHOP that delves into how to break into the business of fashion as a stylist. You will learn more about how the industry works and what you need to do in order to make yourself stand out.

How to Produce a Fashion Show/Pop Up is yet another M SHOP class that is taught by an instructor who has helped produce Fashion Week shows as well as events for designers. You will learn everything you need to know about creating and executing your own fashion show or pop up.
