Fashion designers work hard to research their market and determine the latest trends and functional needs before they get to work manifesting ideas for clothing, shoes, and more.  The fashion industry is an enormous slice of the economy and both reflects and influences the culture it lives in. Sometimes it takes so long for a design to be mass-produced and released into the market that it will already be outdated, so fashion designers have to anticipate future trends almost as much as they learn from experience.  Though some designers still produce items with a single user in mind, most clothing and shoes are mass-produced to be affordable in the general market; consequently, it’s important to combine ideas of aesthetics and art with engineering-like studies of function and utility. 

This fashion “studio” design kit is designed to genuinely stimulate creativity in the designers of tomorrow.  All the tools your young designer will need are included -- the key piece is the mannequin they can drape and pin fabric samples on to test out ideas before cutting and sewing.  A sketchbook for hashing out visions is also included, along with all the instructions they’ll need to get started and work through to the finish. Kids will love playing with this for hours on end, and it’s a great way to fuel their creative urges.
