WHAT IS STITCHED?

Stitched Fashion Camp is a unique, hands-on experience immersing young students into the world of fashion, where anything is possible! At STITCHED, students design and create their own imaginative clothing and accessories. The projects are great for all genders and various skill levels. Campers will learn to draw fashion illustrations, create their own designs, sew by hand and machine, hand embellished pieces, and more! STITCHED provides the projects, equipment, and supplies.

Along this journey, campers will touch on the many layers of designing their own collection, including styling, merchandising and photography. We will close the camp with a fashion show where families are invited to witness these one-of-a kind wearable pieces of art.

  • No experience is necessary. We will give you all the tools to bring your ideas to life. If you happen to have experience, great! Rob and the staff will work with everyone based upon their skill level and at a pace that is comfortable for them.
  • Regarding sizes, the clothing is designed for the student. You will learn to take measurements and the designs you make will be yours to wear.
  • Everything you need for the session is included. There are no additional costs.
  • Friends are made at STITCHED. We are all about inclusivity and community, so we do everything together including eating our lunches as a group.
  • Dress attire: Every day will be full of activities and sometimes we will get messy. We suggest wearing casual clothes that you are comfortable in.
  • Please bring your own ‘brown bag’ lunch and a drink to have throughout the day. We will take a lunch break 30 minutes each day and a snack break in between.

Participants will create (but are not limited to):

  • Inspiration boards
  • Color and Fabric stories
  • A design development journal
  • A 4 look illustrated collection
  • 2 collection pieces (top and skirt/shorts) 

If you have an interest in fashion, love drawing, and want to improve on your sewing skills, this is the program for you!

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Rob Younkers is a fashion designer, educator, media personality, and former Professor at Parsons School of Design.

He has designed and consulted for Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Patricia Field, Mattel, Vogue Magazine, Elie Tahari, Elle Magazine, and Threadymade. In 2007 he began designing a custom women’s tailored collection under his own label. Rob has been instructing up and coming designers for over fifteen years. He has taught internationally at Istituto Marangoni in Milan and for over 15 years at Parsons, his alma mater, where he began teaching three years after graduation, having been scouted by Tim Gunn. His involvement with a younger generation of designers began in 2006 when he mentored a 14-year-old designer on MTV’s “MADE”. Afterwards, Rob created fashion camps for several art studios in and around New York City. These ventures were the initial spark for what would become STITCHED Fashion Camp, started in 2013.

What sets Rob Younkers apart from others is how he has developed three careers simultaneously, as a designer, fashion personality, and educator. He has a natural ability to connect to future generations of designers of all ages and teaches the skills to take them to the next level. Rob was a cohost/fashion expert on LOGO’s Secret Guide to Fabulous for 3 seasons as well as the LOGO Minute Man. He has appeared as an on-air Style Correspondent for Yahoo Style, E! Television's Who Wore it Better!, ABC’s Fab Life, and Canada’s The Marilyn Denis Show. He is currently based in Los Angeles, California.

There’s nothing else like STITCHED for young designers. When people, ask, “Where did you get that?,” kids can proudly say, “I made it at STITCHED!”

SO WONDERFUL!

This was such a great experience for my daughter Esther! Rob is such an amazing teacher with such an amazing background. He truly inspired my daughter who has been interested in fashion design for some time. We would do this class indefinitely! We really look forward to doing it again. Lisa has created such a wonderful creative environment for kids to explore their sewing dreams and my daughter just loves it there! Please do more classes like this one!! We would absolutely do a weekly class!

Awesome experience for kids interested in sewing

My two girls (14 and 10 years old) loved their experience with Rob and Lissa at Stitched camp! I’ve been looking for a program like this for years and am so glad we found it. This week really inspired my girls to sew more, express themselves confidently, and to continue creating their own fashion designs. Highly recommend.
