All I want for—fill in the holiday—is the gift of fashion
If you’ve been keeping up with the U of F blog, you’ll know that the Gen Zers on your holiday lists crave experiences. And when it comes to gift giving in 2018 (and beyond), the University of Fashion has experiences galore for the fashionistas in your life, no matter their age. In fact, we have unique gifts that will inspire year-round learning and making for the fashion lovers you know.
Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, Festivus or simply want to support an aspiring designer’s New Year’s resolution, consider the following gift ideas.
Want to IMPRESS and INSPIRE?
If you are looking for the perfect gift for…
- Fashionistas of all ages
- Beginning to advanced fashion design students
- Emerging and established designers
Give the Historical Dictionary of the Fashion Industry.
A hard-bound, fact-packed, visually-stunning comprehensive guide to fashion through the ages, any fashion-lover would love to open this treat. The Historical Dictionary of the Fashion Industry is a great reference for working designers and a source of must-know history for design students. The best part? This valuable resource makes a beautifully wrapped package and is available on Amazon for delivery before Christmas (at least at the time this blog is being written—they are going fast, I wouldn’t wait to order!).
Want to give a gift that will TEACH and SUPPORT?
If you are looking for the perfect gift for…
- Aspiring fashion design students of all ages
- Current fashion design students
- At-home, self-taught designers
- Emerging and established designers
- Current U of F members
Give the gift of U of F’s beginners series for Sewing, Draping and Pattern Making techniques.
These step-by-step guides give aspiring designers clear and concise sewing, draping and pattern making instruction. For established designers, these guides are a must-add to any resource library. Written by U of F founder and edited by two of UoF’s best instructors, Barbara Arata-Gavere and Barbara Seggio (also FIT professors), each guide works in tandem with University of Fashion videos. Students, designers and home sewers will keep these guides open on drafting tables, next to dress forms and alongside sewing machines for constant reference.
And as a gift giver, you will look like a fashionista-in-the-know giving a hot-off-the-presses gift. All three guides are now available for pre-order on Amazon now!
