Style Semester Launches in NY!

Skillshare’s Style Semester is finally here! We’re inviting you to channel your inner-sartorialist, become more like Cary Grant, or live out your Project Runway dreams. We’ve brought together a terrific mix of fun, creative, and hands-on classes in New York centered around style and fashion, happening from now until the end of September.

We have classes on everything from a primer on Sneakerology to Pulling off the “Boyfriend” Look. There are some great brands involved too, with classes from both John Allan’s and the Laundress.

And we’ve also partnered with Racked, who will be sponsoring $1,000 worth of $10 scholarships for students to take Style Semester classes. Be sure to check them out and sign up for their daily newsletter! Click here for more information on how to redeem your Racked Scholarship.
