Saskatchewan’s home grown attitude is very supportive of local talent in our own growing fashion industry.  With the guidance of the Academy’s instructors anyone can have a successful career in many different areas of the industry here in Saskatchewan.  If students choose to relocate during their career as some have, they find that their education from the Academy of fashion Design has prepared them for what is ahead.
