About Wardrobe Academy – School Fashion

The Wardrobe Academy  is proud to be teaching and inspiring a generation of outstanding stylists and fashion professionals, and has quickly become a leading  fashion training institute in South Africa, known for its modern and innovative approach and support of freedom of expression and thought.
Launched in 2008, the Wardrobe Academy was created to cater for a growing 
demand for personal stylist training with an up-to-date and fashion-forward ethos 
– while this industry has evolved and grown in the last decade, it is generally felt 
that the traditional image training available has become quite out-dated and staid in
it’s approach.
Since then, The Academy has expanded to offer a broad selection of courses in
Personal & Fashion Styling, Bridal Styling, Personal Styling for men, Fashion
Retailing, Fashion Illustration and corporate training for Fashion Retailers.

These intensive and comprehensive courses offer high caliber training to students,

equipping them with the knowledge, practical skills and confidence needed to

pursue rewarding careers in the exciting world of Fashion.

 

The Wardrobe Academy has students attending from many other countries, and 

was the first South African training institute to offer a Personal Stylist training 

program via correspondence, with students currently signed up from South Africa

Zimbabwe, Namibia, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand and Russia.

The Wardrobe Academy is a recognised training provider and an accredited member of the AICI 
(Association of Image Consultants International), which gives students the reassurance needed that 
the quality of training received is of the highest possible standard and that the Academy conforms 
to a code of industry ethics.
 

The Wardrobe Academy is privately owned and run by renowned stylist, Alice Dunkley, who has over 20 years of fashion styling,

students a wealth of valuable information based on their personal knowledge and experience, making these fun and informative

courses a must for all aspiring stylists and fashionista’s.
