Children's Fashion Courses

my story

Hello, I’m Jennifer Somoza, and my journey from architecture to fashion has been nothing short of exhilarating. While architecture in Venezuela was fulfilling, my heart longed for the world of fashion. So, I made the bold move to study in Rome, Italy, where I was captivated by the artistry of Italian-tailored and haute couture.
 
During my studies, necessity led me to seek part-time employment. Drawing upon my experience as a babysitter during an exchange program in the US, I found the confidence in tutoring children in Rome. Over six enriching years, I worked with children aged 4 to 11, Taught them languages, and engaged them in after-school activities, creating long-lasting memories along the way.
 
Post-graduation, I embarked on a global adventure, immersing myself in different cultures, and fashion scenes, participating in shows, and doing exhibitions and workshops for adults in the places I visited. Now, settled in the UK with my newborn daughter, I’m fueled by her inspiration to blend my passion and expertise in fashion with my children’s teaching experience. Thus, I have found my fashion project; after-school workshops where kids can learn sewing skills and unleash their creativity with each project.
