The process
How FashTraq works (in 4 steps)
A clear path from discovery to departure—built for busy student schedules.
1) Explore destinations & themes
Browse upcoming trips and city guides to find the fashion focus that fits you—street style, heritage craft, design studios, or retail innovation.
2) Request info & eligibility details
Tell us your school, travel window, and interests. We’ll share what’s included, estimated costs, and any prerequisites (if applicable).
3) Apply & reserve your spot
Complete a short application, confirm your spot, and get your prep checklist—packing tips, cultural notes, and what to bring for workshops.
4) Travel, learn, and build your portfolio
Join curated experiences—markets, museums, studio visits, and hands-on learning—then return with insights, photos, and project prompts to showcase.
