Welcome to Your Future in Fashion

You’ve always seen the world differently. At JCI, we believe that’s your greatest strength. Our Business of Fashion & Design Program is where creatives find direction, connection, and the confidence to turn passion into purpose. Here, you’ll gain the skills and insider knowledge today’s fashion industry demands—supported every step of the way.

The JCI Difference

This program is for creatives who feel called to do more—but aren’t sure where to start. At JCI, you’ll be supported by mentors who see your potential and help you shape it into a career. Here, you’ll find your focus, your voice, and your people—while mastering the skills that today’s fashion industry is hiring for.

  • Integrated Curriculum: Design + Business in one seamless, 18-month experience

  • Modern Industry Training: CLO3D, textiles, and construction meet branding and marketing

  • Career-Ready Practicum: 48-hour placement, guided by industry professionals and mentors

  • Built-In Community: Insider access, community support, and pathways to your next opportunity

Why Other Programs Fall Short:

  • Outdated techniques that don’t reflect today’s fashion landscape

  • One-track learning: you’re forced to choose business or design

  • No practicum or industry exposure—leaving grads underprepared

Most programs meet the standard. At JCI, we set it.

Build a Career You’re Proud of

You already have the passion—JCI helps you turn it into purpose. Here, your ideas take shape, your confidence grows, and your creativity becomes a career. Through mentorship, collaboration, and the latest industry tools, you’ll evolve from dreamer to doer, hobbyist to hireable, finding your place in fashion and the power to shape what comes next.

  • I genuinely owe so much to this program. It changed the course of my life in the best way. When I first started, I was unsure of myself and hesitant to step into something so new and challenging. But from the very beginning, every single one of my instructors believed in me, even before I fully believed in myself. They didn’t just teach me the skills I needed, they pushed me to grow, step out of my comfort zone, and see what I was truly capable of. There were days I doubted myself, but I was constantly met with encouragement, honesty, and unwavering support. I never felt like just a student—I felt seen, heard, and understood. This experience gave me confidence not only in my work, but in myself as a creative. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better group of mentors or a more transformative experience.

  • The BOF+D course at JCI Institute provides students with an immersive, end-to-end experience of the contemporary fashion design process. This comprehensive experience equips graduates with a distinct competitive advantage, preparing them to excel in both creative design and technical development roles. By integrating innovation, craftsmanship, and practical industry knowledge, the BOF+D course empowers students to transition confidently from the classroom to professional practice.

  • The program has been a crucial asset to my career path. It provided me with essential knowledge and skills in fashion design, helping me better understand the process. Additionally, the networking opportunities have connected me with industry experts and fellow designers, providing valuable real-world insights and connections.

  • I had high hopes when applying to JCI but this school exceeded all of my expectations. I have never felt so supported by an organization and community in my life. These instructors want the best for each and every student and I will recommend this institute forever!

  • This is a hands-on program that blends business skills with a creative side, helping the future generation learn how to build, market and manage ideas in today’s fast paced industries.

    — Marina De Paoli, Product Developer at Lululemon

  • I learned a lot as someone with zero prior knowledge of the industry and my instructors did a great job encouraging me and providing valuable feedback to improve my work. The instructors care about the students and it shows. They also instilled a level of understanding about the number of avenues we could take moving into our careers and mentored us towards what we were interested in. That's what sets JCI apart for me and it's why I would recommend it to someone in a similar position as myself!
