NTFashionLAB 2026
Step into a summer of creativity and confidence at the NT FashionLAB—where beginners and experienced sewers learn how to turn their ideas into a real fashion brand. Designers build a strong foundation in sewing and garment construction while exploring the business side of fashion, including branding, marketing, budget, and sales. Designers also gain real-world experience in interviewing, photo shoot etiquette, pitching, and tons of hidden gems.
Instructed by fashion designer + creative director NATT TAYLOR, designers develop their own original designs and brand identity, supported by weekly meetings with fashion industry leaders who share professional insight, reinforce weekly lessons, and provide motivation through their personal journeys.
The summer culminates in a high-energy “Back to School” Fashion Show + Launch Party, where our featured designers debut their collections, celebrate their hard work, and take their first steps into the fashion world!

Design a ‘Back to School” Collection
Each week introduces a new skill and business objective as designers work to produce their very own Back To School collection.
Connect with Creative Community
Designers connect daily to brainstorm on creative ideas. They are encouraged to collaborate on multiple group projects to make the lessons fun and interactive.
Engage in Interactive Sessions
Designers are encouraged to interact with their peers daily. Scheduled break-out sessions allow for open discussion on fabrics, notions, design process, marketing ideas, and more.
Celebrate with a Fashion Show + Launch Party
Designers who complete at least 8 weeks, have the opportunity to show their collection at the ultimate fashion show + launch party. All are invited to attend, including our weekly mentors and fashion industry vets.
“I have over 20 years of experience in all areas of the fashion industry and I can’t wait to pour it all into the NTFashionLAB. I pray my young designers are ready to receive it, apply it, and be amazing!”
