Brigitte

rating green star
I absolutely adore my time spent with Brigitte. Not only is she an incredibly skilled sewing instructor, but she also goes above and beyond in imparting her wealth of knowledge about the fashion industry, fabrics, and materials. This aspect has been invaluable to me, considering my lack of formal education in fashion. Brigitte's expertise shines through as she generously shares extra insights from textbooks, which have proven particularly beneficial in my endeavors, such as creating corsets and stays. Moreover, her guidance extends beyond mere craftsmanship; she educates on the importance of accurately pricing garments to ensure profitability—a testament to her comprehensive approach. Thanks to her mentorship, I've experienced significant growth and am eagerly looking forward to advancing further under her tutelage.

rating green star
We had highly informative, engaging, and inspiring lessons with Nancy. We started with fashion illustrations and the intricacies of technical drawing, then progressed to deep discussions about brand identity and the creative process. We also explored collection creation, along with the business and marketing aspects of a fashion company. I was pleasantly surprised by Nancy’s depth of highly practical and applicable knowledge, as well as the expertise she possesses in both fashion and marketing. I am looking forward to our future lessons and continuing to learn from her. I highly recommend Nancy as a very talented, friendly, and professional teacher.

I’m so grateful to Anna! She has such a high level of expertise, and her advices were very helpful for me (I had three consultations about my portfolio). I love her way of teaching — so structured, you can apply everything she is telling you right away. Also, I was charmed by her ability to go deeply into my meaning, understand my ideas, and share her views on how to enhance them. And as a person, Anna is so attentive, considerate, and kind. I will definitely turn to Anna again when I need help. Thank you so much, Anna. I’m so happy I found you, wish you all the best! :)
