COCA Collaborates with Fashion Incubator, Royal Family Designer

A recent news article highlighted a collaboration between Center of Creative Arts (COCA) and the St. Louis Fashion Incubator to provide a summer teen fashion intensive camp. The collaborators worked with Jo Flannery, a designer that has put together outfits for queens, princesses, and other members of the British royal family.

According to FOX, “Area high school students considering a college with a fashion program are getting hands-on experience with experts and St. Louis fashion incubator designers.”
