Creative Fashion School

The Creative Fashion School (CFS) is a non-profit organisation founded by Norma Ebanks to provide Caymanian youth and older residents with an opportunity to develop and release their creativity purposefully. CFS provides a safe, structured, and fun environment for novice and mature students to innovate, design, and learn.

 

​Expressing creativity and learning a skill can alleviate mental issues, benefiting the individual, community, and society. CFS educates Caymanians in the art of sewing and fashion designing, giving them the foundation to pursue a career and/or a lifelong interest in fashion, creativity, or home decor.

 

​We offer classes in basics, intermediate, and advanced sewing and home decor. Additionally, there is an after-school program and an annual summer camp for young creatives.

 

Design and fashion talents have universal appeal and open many professional possibilities. Developing Cayman's abundance of promising talent would contribute to local and international creative industries and benefit Cayman’s international image.

 

​CFS has collaborated with local schools to promote Caymanian talent and formed the Emerging Designers Program (EDP). With support from international organisations, EDP students have opportunities to showcase their talents alongside International Designers. This helps students to build confidence, knowledge and self-esteem.

 

​In 2025, our first scholarship recipient will be selected from the Creative Fashion School, further supporting emerging local talent.

 

Partial proceeds from Cayman Instyle Fashion Weeks' events will be reinvested into the Creative Fashion School to support its efforts in educating local individuals. A scholarship fund will also be established to further support emerging local talent.
