Be part of 321 Chicbody positive fashion show and get tips from stylist Heather Okimoto on how to style a model. Our campers will get to style a fellow camper and showcase the look they put together in our mini fashion show happening that afternoon.
Tricia Hoke, co-founder of The Cotery, will teach the campers about fashion sketching and each camper will sketch and create a handbag and skirt. No sewing machine required for this.
