Fashion Design Society at Hampton High School
SELF Academy, a new fashion school based in Midtown Atlanta and backed by Georgia State University, is bringing sewing education to Hampton High School.
Developed by SELF Academy, the Fashion Design Society is a new after-school enrichment program at Hampton High School, where students (grades 9-12) learn fashion design from concept to creation in a well-equipped sewing studio. Students develop technical sewing skills, explore fashion illustration, create original garments, build a portfolio, attend fun field trips, and participate in fun community events. SELF Academy is currently raising $5,760 to convert Fashion Design Society’s empty classroom into a full-fledged sewing workspace by the end of November 2026.
