Who we are

From our first graduation in 2010 to date, we have passed out 921 fashion professionals — and 91% of them have gone straight on to start design houses of their own. Our intense, hands-on system builds each student a reasonable clientele base a full year before releasing them into the world of work.

Our values
Attention to Detail
A great designer is made from the time and care they put into their work. We teach one-on-one, training our students to always see the unseen — and cater for its needs in their work.
Artistry
We express this through creativity, drawing inspiration from the artistic perspective of the environments around us — guiding our students through art as a core of the design work they do.
Self-Esteem
Records Fashion School is home to garment design — a DNA-coded art, in a team of instructors who instinctively train, guide and develop talent into professional fashion designers able to challenge and meet the ever-evolving design market demands.
