Do you love fashion?

Join us as we explore the intersection between art and fashion. During this camp, activities will introduce teens to textile identification, half-scale draping and patternmaking, fashion and architectural sketching, design development, and introductory sewing and upcycling techniques. These hands-on sessions will culminate in an original sustainable fashion design line created by each participant.

Along the way, we will examine how fashion, fine art, and architecture connect by using Nashville landmarks such as the Parthenon and the Frist Art Museum, as well as the city’s fashion scene. Campers will explore how historic architectural design as well as the Frist’s concurrent exhibition of surrealist art connect to the enduring legacy of haute couture, shaped by early twentieth-century fashion visionaries Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli.

Participants are invited to present their final projects at the annual Teens Take the Frist! event on Saturday, July 18, 2026.
