Reviews
- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★If you are looking for a school that will teach you how to succeed in the apparel business, this is it. Courses include concept-to-execution of a line, almost every aspect of making apparel, plus the business management side of the industry (marketing, sourcing, costing, etc). Individual classes in textiles, color theory, Adobe Illustrator, design, pattern making, industrial sewing and knitting - it's all here. Plus the director and the instructors know everyone in town, and teach you how to make connections in a professional and gracious manner. That in itself is worth every penny spent. But don't be intimidated - PFI calibrates itself well to whatever level you are looking for in a class. If you are just looking for a bit of help with your sewing or creative skills, this is also the place to be. You can take classes a la carte to hone your skills. The teachers here are seasoned apparel professionals, and they will work you hard, if you are serious. If you are focused and really want to learn, they take note, and try to get the best performance out of you as a student. If you put the effort in (and it can be a lot of work), you will come out ready to enter the workforce just about anywhere. There is an advanced program called Fashion Forward for design students who want to launch their own line, which is amazing to observe. Talk about inspiring. PFI pushed me hard and I had a lot of late nights, and it was totally worth it. The skills I've gained are so valuable. I can't wait to go back to tackle some new skills.By Susan Polk, January 15, 2018
