- Applying these concepts to outfit creation.
Weeks 7-8: Creating Your Style

Throughout the program, it would be beneficial to include hands-on activities such as creating mood boards, styling sessions, and organizing a mini fashion show or photoshoot. Guest lectures from fashion stylists or professionals in the industry could provide valuable insights and inspire the young stylists.
