Start Early : Passion for Fashion with CCSA

As the famous saying goes, “style is a way of saying who you are without having to speak.”

Your outfit is not merely a piece of cloth that covers your body. It is a means to express your inner self. Every colour, cut, and design on your clothes reveal your personality, intention, and purpose. Therefore, what you wear showcases what words are incapable of expressing. Art is a powerful tool to exhibit the best version of yourself.

Recognizing the need for creative fashion being instrumental in growth and development of teens and children we, at The Contemporary Canadian School of Art (CCSA) have come up with tastefully designed courses on fashion and design which will not only hone the creative skills of these young achievers but will also focus on how fashion can be an imperative aspect of one’s daily life.

Kids and teens are at an impressionable juncture of their life, the ideas, habits, and opinions they form at this point dictates the kind of citizens they become and how they contribute to the society. Fashion and design are creative tools that can help them widen their horizon and enable them to accept various possibilities, embrace varied cultures and styles and respect them. It is a powerful instrument to break the shackles of their narrow world view and enable them to accept people for who they are and appreciate human life in all forms, colours, and shapes. Therefore, fashion and design are not merely about appearance but certainly a creative pursuit that can enable a holistic view of life, people, and the world.

We understand that each child is unique and special. Some are bestowed with exceptional skills and shine with promising potential in certain fields. However, it is important for guardians and parents to recognize such talent and guide them towards the path to realize their dreams. One such example is that of the world-famous Calvin Klein. His brand needs no introduction today. But do you know Calvin Klein always had a keen interest in clothes, fashion, and design from a very young age? In fact, he always knew he wanted to be a fashion designer. It was his mother who inspired him and instilled in him a love for art and fashion. He also went on to become the youngest fashion designer to win the prestigious Coty Award three times in a row from 1973 to 1975! Imagine if Calvin Klein’s exceptional talent was not recognized and guided by his mother, the world would have lost an incredible star. Children are just like little seeds that need proper nurturing and care to realize their true capabilities and blossom into beautiful trees. Aligning to this philosophy, at CCSA, Toronto we have classes starting in various disciplines for as young as 7 years!

In today’s times, art, fashion, and design are increasingly popular fields with prestigious universities around the world offering formal courses in them. Canada is a multi-cultural country and Toronto is one of the fashion capitals which stands for inclusion and acceptance of diversity. Recognizing this need CCSA also offers portfolio building programs and guidance by our expert professionals for children, teens, and young adults. We believe that every child deserves the best, hence it is vital for them to make the right impression with their portfolio, as it is a measure of their talent.

Diane von Furstenberg famously said, “Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it". Each person is authentic and beautiful in one’s own unique way and fashion enables one to experiment and discover one’s real self through experimenting with multiple perspectives and layers. At The Contemporary Canadian School of Art(CCSA), we offer a wide range of carefully curated courses on fashion and design based on the age and mental caliber of our students. Here the students will not only gain hands on experience on fashion design but also discover a unique sense of style that resonates with their distinct personalities.
