90degreez (November 05, 2009) --- Fashion House Academy is pleased
to announce an unprecedented creative collaboration with 90degreez
for Fashion House Academy – The School. FHA launches it's 9 week
pilot program in November in New York, NY.
The Fashion House Academy School program is a condensed and
concentrated field for the next generation of fashion designers -
students between the ages of 10 and 19. Each semester is 9 weeks (9
Wednesdays) of two-hour power packed class sessions. Students will
learn a myriad of fundamentals including using a sewing machine,
sewing simple garments, color theory, styling and designing for a
cohesive collection clothing line. The culmination of the 9-week
semester will conclude with a fashion gala displaying the final
projects of our students. The pilot program will launch in New York
City with plans to branch out to other cities across the United
States.
Students receive real industry experience and training from the
Academy Board which includes professional fashion designers,
wardrobe stylists, custom clothiers and visual artists.
Incorporated into the FHA program are the 5 Laws of Fashion House
that each student is required to learn and commit to memory;
Determination, Creativity, Passion, Character and Teamwork.
90Degreez works hand-in-hand with FHA providing a dedicated online
salon for FHA students to submit assignments, meet and interact
outside of the classroom and engage in spirited discussions.
90Degreez brings the world inside the FHA classroom with weekly
video footage of classroom highlights. “We believe our
collaboration is a perfect duo marrying fashion and technology and
with both FHA and 90degreez representing fashion with integrity”
said Kimberly, Founder of 90degreez. The collaboration demonstrates

Collaborating by providing opportunities to foster and strengthen
relationships and encourage collaborations among fashion centric
