School of Fashion Design

Established in 1934 and celebrating over 90 years of excellence in fashion education, The School of Fashion Design (SFD) is the only educational institution in New England dedicated exclusively to the study of hand-crafted apparel design and construction.

We value the fine craft of a well-made garment and believe that fashion design is a learned skill that can be mastered through education and disciplined practice.

Renowned for our teaching expertise and technical rigor of our professional skills training, SFD is a private, nonprofit studio school offering our signature Certificate in Fashion Design. SFD also offers year-round creative workshops in various textile arts, as well as a High School fashion program.
