FASHION DESIGN INSTRUCTOR
Entrepreneurial School for Kids Focused on Fashion Design, Product Development, and Brand-Building Seeking Unique and Talented Fashion Design Instructors.
For over a decade, The Unincorporated Life has been the base camp for young entrepreneurs from all over Los Angeles and around the world who want to get wild with their imagination. Through our open-ended, creative platform, we provide the skills, tools, and resources needed to take innovative ideas from concept to completion, helping unlock the true power and potential behind their imaginations. We teach amazing young designers the principles behind brand-building and product development while working in an environment that nurtures the creative process.
At The Unincorporated Life, we are “Here On Business,” and our students are always encouraged to create what’s in their mind’s eye.
FLEX YOUR SKILLS
First off, you must be a technically-skilled fashion designer and a strong, competent sewer, having studied fashion design and either graduated or achieved a level of proficiency equal to a full degree. You will need a solid command of industrial machines and a working knowledge of the myriad fabric types you will handle each week. Have your skill set put to the test every day as you translate knowledge to your students and draft custom patterns for an infinite variety of fun and unique garments.
As a team, you and your group of 4 students have an open canvas, so you can really help them get wild with their creativity! You will teach them to create a vision board, cut, sew, construct a garment, and develop a customer profile and logo for their brand. You’ll work on evening gowns, superhero outfits, street punk garb, and other unique expressions of the creative minds of young designers with no limitations.
BE YOURSELF
This is not a corporate job. You won’t be tied to a suit or crammed into a cubicle. No uniforms are worn here. Piercings, tattoos, and wild, colorful hair are allowed and encouraged. This is a crazy, high-energy space! You’ll need to withstand the heat of high-intensity fashion shows and last-minute alterations as kids swirl around our creative studio.
Coming to work dressed like you LOVE fashion is also mandatory. Don’t bother applying if you’re into the “I just rolled out of bed” look. Never be afraid to express your unique personality. Be charismatic, energetic, and patient as you help cool kids explore their creative potential.
LUXURY ENTREPRENEURIAL EDUCATION FOR PUNKS
The Unincorporated Life is a premium camp for Los Angeles and people around the world, offering Luxury Entrepreneurial Education for Punks. We create freedom through ideas. Helping people break free from the rat race…that’s our main mission. What does that mean? It means we don’t just teach kids how to sew; we’re a unique platform through which anyone can develop their personal brand through garments, products, fragrance, and more…and we do it with style! Ours is not a bland schoolhouse with a dusty, old chalkboard; this truly is the crossroads of fashion, fun, business, and branding. Nurturing the creative intentions of our clients and students is paramount.
JOIN OUR CRAZY CREW
We’re unprofessional professionals. Each day for our team is a celebration of entrepreneurial spirit. We are looking for talented and cool people to join the Unincorporated Family on a permanent basis, but you should consider this a seasonal job, as our team is currently focused on our most popular camps: Summer 2024.
