Welcome to Fashion Illustration Tribe’s Suite of Online Fashion Design and Illustration courses, Coaching and Programs with Laura Volpintesta!
Welcome to your home -and-hub for quality fashion online courses made with heart, soul, and loads of experience from my 20 plus years teaching at Presitgious Parsons fashion design program in NYC.
Like you,
I’ve always loved fashion.
So many facets, and so many reasons!
I absolutely loved the transformation of beginning to learn art and design in my early 20 when I went to study at Parsons School of Design in NYC and Paris, France.
And there’s nothing I ADORE MORE passing on that passion and experience to other lovers of the art and craft of fashion fused wtih soul and heart.
You deserve to have the wonderful joy of discovery
that I did when I went to fashion design school. I want you to have all of it, (without any of the BS common in fashion schools that takes all the joy out of it).

“Designing with Fashion Flats” teaches so clearly how to sketch flats for fashion: focusing on details and proportions without dealing with model drawing like my other courses. do. It’s extremely affordable and flexible.
