E. Vincent Martinez Fashion Design Instructor, The Art Institute of Atlanta
“I’ve found that the best way to bring the “real world” into the classroom is to bring the classroom to the “real world.” In other words, I have gotten my students involved in events like fashion shows and photo shoots in a variety of roles from the backstage to the front of the house. They learn best from being immersed in these environments and by working alongside other industry professionals. ”
