Oliver Thornton

I cannot stress enough how the family environment at NYSD has helped me to grow in confidence and make the very most out of an intensive course, which runs over a very short period of time. If you are someone who is willing to reach out and the make the effort to go the extra mile, there is a support system at NYSD which cradles every student on an individual basis, maximizing their potential and creativity.

Annie Huynh

I came to NYSD with the intention of bettering my skills in construction but came out learning more than just that in a few months. The school is open for anyone who has an interest in fashion and has the drive to learn more about it. It is a school that requires of lot of your time and effort to really succeed. But the faculty and your peers become your second family and I feel that NYSD has become my second home.

Nermin Uygur

It is an intense program. It gives you a chance to learn the most in the shortest period. I found what I exactly needed as a school environment.

Laura Pineda

The program exceeded all my expectations and was exactly what I was looking for. I hope to be able to go back soon because NYSD felt like home.

Jemina Acevedo

It’s funny, you never know how talented and how many qualities you have until you try something new. And I have to be honest, Haute Couture was more than what I was expecting. I found love and passion in this program.
