Learn what you need from Experts who, unlike many teachers on the subject of fashion, actually DO what they teach!
M Shop NYC began as an uber trendy downtown NYC boutique that dressed countless
A-listers including Mary J Blige, Shakira, L’il Kim, Lenny Kravitz, Pharell, and the Dixie Chicks to name a few, and has since morphed into an
E-commerce website that in addition to the most informative workshops around
; our expert has styled for
editorials,
music videos, &
Spike Lee directed
tv commercials which
enables us to impart you with
FIRST HAND knowledge on how to break into Styling no mater if it's for editorials, productions, or personal clients. We produce tons of
Fashion Shows & Special Events for designers, retailers, and corporations nationwide; include a Public Relations division; we also design & sell our own successful M Shop line.
We have been seen spitting fashion tips and trend spotting on
Full Frontal Fashion, Fox's Ambush Makeover, The Today Show, and most major fashion magazines out there.
And we do it ourselves, without any press person working for us. We have a marketing partnership with
24/Seven, the Fashion Industry's leading job placement agency; teach at
Parsons The New School For Design, and even boast our own online Art Gallery which supports new talent.
