what we ARE ABOUT
The Foundation
of Fashion Institute was founded in 2020. It was a period when time stood still
across the world but great minds were coming up with great ideas. Research was
done in that time, and ideas were put into action for the institute to start
its work in 2022.
The institute
is the brainchild of renowned Fashion Designer and Consumer Scientist Palesa
Tshukudu. After being in the fashion retail industry for twenty years, it is
time to give back to society in a meaningful way.
It was our
observation that during the Covid-19 pandemic, the people with a skill were
able to weather the unemployment storm that gripped the country at that time
but still continues to do so even now. People turned to forms of media to learn
how to sew, how to cook, how to be influencers etc.
The agile were
able to pivot the careers and businesses to suit the market demands.
The Foundation
of Fashion Institute is a solution to the skills problem in society. It is also
a solution to bettering the skills of aspiring fashion students.
We are offering
basic pattern making skills to equip you with the building blocks of fashion.
We are also offering basic sewing lessons to assist you with seeing a concept
or an idea come to life
Our twelve week
course is comprehensive. It will prepare you for the next step in your life. It
will also give you a skill that can be turned into a hobby or a business.
Lets give back
to society in a way that is building and creating self sustenance.
Each one teach one.
