Style Awaits at Spectrum Gallery’s “July Fashion Weeks”

Submitted by Barbara Nair, Spectrum Gallery

(February 11, 2025) — Winter may be chilly, but the fashion world is heating up! Get ready to design, illustrate and sew this summer at Spectrum Gallery’s July Fashion Weeks.

Fashion One runs from July 14, 2025 to July 18, 2025 for ages 10–12, and Fashion Two, from July 21, 2025 to July 25, 2025 for ages 13–15. In the mornings, learn to illustrate fashion silhouettes as live models pose for your sketches, resulting in a “portfolio-ready” piece by week’s end. Afternoons focus on sewing, with professional seamstresses who teach you how to read, pin, cut and sew a pattern of your choice. You’ll construct and finish your garment, adding accessories to bring your vision to life.

At the end of the week, professional hair and makeup stylists prepare you for a photo shoot and a fashion show as you model your creations for friends and family! Both Fashion Weeks are in Centerbrook, and run from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. No experience necessary—whether you’re brand new to sewing or already a budding designer, our instructors guide you every step of the way. Material lists for drawing and sewing are provided upon registration.

To jump-start your sewing, you will need to register for the Pre-Camp Workshop: Make Friends with Your Sewing Machine, where you’ll learn to troubleshoot the machine and stitch with confidence. Two sessions are available: Friday, July 11, 2025 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., or Saturday, July 12, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon. The workshop fee is $40, and participants must bring their own machine. Spaces fill quickly, so register for Fashion Weeks by calling (860) 767-0742 or email barbara@spectrumartgallery.org
