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.
Participants will create (but are not limited to):
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

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.
