At Colossal Academy’s Fashion Yourself event, creativity, entrepreneurship, and design collided in an inspiring showcase of student talent. This event marked the culmination of weeks of dedicated work by students exploring self-expression through fashion and product design. From skateboards to t-shirts, and even shorts, each element reflected the students’ unique journeys of artistic discovery and business innovation. Let’s recap the highlights of this dynamic event and how you can support the young entrepreneurs bringing their ideas to life.
Guided Lessons on Designing Skateboard Decks
The day began with an engaging workshop on designing skateboard decks, where students combined their artistic skills and personal stories. Guided by experienced instructors, they learned the intricacies of color theory, layout design, and storytelling through visuals. Each deck became a canvas for students to express their personalities, cultural identities, and aspirations. The finished products were nothing short of stunning—vivid, bold, and deeply personal.
Not only did students walk away with a beautifully designed skateboard deck, but they also gained valuable insights into how design impacts branding and audience engagement. This hands-on experience set the stage for the main event: the Fashion Yourself showcase.
A Fashion Show Featuring Student-Designed T-Shirts
The energy shifted as the spotlight turned to the fashion show, where each student presented their custom-designed t-shirts. This wasn’t just any fashion show—it was a celebration of individuality and storytelling. From intricate patterns to statement graphics, each t-shirt told a story, blending personal reflections with professional-grade design techniques.
Students confidently walked the runway, sharing their inspiration and creative processes. Parents, peers, and community members cheered them on, making the event a truly memorable experience. It was clear that these t-shirts were more than garments—they were wearable works of art that showcased the students’ hard work and vision.

Collaborative Art Piece and the Selfie Booth: A Moment for Connection
One of the most heartwarming elements of Fashion Yourself was the collaborative art piece created by the students and their families. Everyone was invited to participate, adding their own touch to the art installation. This collective effort brought the community together, allowing parents and students to collaborate in a shared creative space. It was a beautiful moment of connection, where families could engage in the artistic process while celebrating the power of creativity.
In addition to the collaborative art piece, a selfie booth was set up, allowing attendees to snap photos with their families. This fun and interactive element provided a lighthearted way for everyone to capture memories of the day, while also embracing the theme of self-expression and creativity. It was a great opportunity for families to bond and share in the excitement of their children's accomplishments.
