Fashion Victims Workshops

To better understand the fashion industry in the UAE and worldwide, Fashion Victims is hosting three workshops from 11:30am to 2:30pm. The first workshop by ESMOD Dubai, the established fashion school, will talk audience through the evolution of fashion through different stages in history, particularly fashion studies and how online learning has changed fashion education.

Following ESMOD, the renowned stylist and fashion author Kelly Lundberg will hold an interactive workshop on ‘The Power Of A Stylist’. As a part of the interactive workshops, Kelly will also answer audience’s questions on the topic and provide general styling tips.

The last workshop by Shahzad Mohayudin, founder of the label Math Collective along with Georgina Woollams, founder of Evolution of Fashion will consult young designers and fashion devotees on how to grow brands internationally. Both the speakers have been frequent participants at London Fashion Week and will cover subjects that would help designers secure a spot on different fashion weeks, the technical aspects of showcasing and even understanding fashion from a buyer’s perspective.

Adding on to the lineup of designers, Fashion Victims is thrilled to announce that UK based designer Shahzad Mohayudin will showcase his label Math Collective.
