The Global Fashion Masterclass is the fourth of five exclusive workshops presented by Making Fashion Academy in the lead-up to the Northern Threads runway show in May 2026. Led by international industry expert Amelie Mongrain, along with guest instructor Dawn Williams, this immersive class celebrates the art of cross-cultural fashion. You’ll explore global silhouettes, traditional techniques, and textiles from around the world, and learn how to thoughtfully adapt global garments into contemporary, wearable pieces.

Walk away with a one-of-a-kind garment inspired by global fashion traditions. Your final piece can be submitted as part of your application to the Northern Threads runway show or serve as inspiration for future culturally informed design work.

• Curated global fabrics and materials

• Fashion design pattern and ruler set

• Basic slopers and culturally inspired pattern templates

• Creative guidance on silhouette adaptation

• Step-by-step support to construct your final piece

• Your own wearable expression of global fashion!
