Do you love Fashion but feel like it's a world out of reach for you? Do you have a personal style of your own you want to see out on the page? When you look back do you see time more in what you wore than what you did? This class is for those who love fashion but feel like outsiders when it comes to the writing world. This class won't focus on the work of industry professionals but rather writing about the world of fashion and style from the personal lens. This class is for those who love the hunt of a good thrift find as much as watching a Haute Couture show. Anyone who wears clothes (at least sometimes) is welcome.
Over the course of four weeks we will read everything from Suzy Menkes to Michelle Tea to Oscar Wilde. We will break down how writers write about not only clothes but life and convey their personal style on the page.
What to expect each class:
Time to give and receive peer feedback on work submitted by students each week and cheer each other on.
Time to dish and gossip about fashion.
Coaching and guidance from Elizabeth.

Testimonials from Previous Co-Lab Classes Elizabeth Has Taught
“Absurdly great.”
“Elizabeth facilitated such a generative and rich workshop. I was a bit unsure what to expect going into the course as I’ve never been an essayist. She made the form feel so engaging and natural, providing ample feedback, prompts and readings. I came out of the course with an essay I’m very proud of, and I know that her teaching has enriched my writing practice. Thank you!”
“The prompts were super generative and flowed into each other really well. I came out of the class with the good part of two essays in strong condition. I would take this again.”
“Elizabeth is so great, and I’m just so grateful that I came out of this class with a really solid draft of a piece that I’m excited to work on and eventually submit for publication. I loved her approach and dry vibe and embrace of obsessions. I look forward to following Elizabeth’s career and future course offerings!”
“Elizabeth’s class structure and teaching style is perfect for anyone looking who needs deadlines, feedback, and a supportive writing community. 10/10 recommend!”
