The Atelier School by Mykola Vyshyvanyuk
Learn the Art of Fashion Design & Couture Sewing
Welcome to The Atelier School — a creative space where aspiring designers and fashion lovers learn the timeless craft of sewing and the elegance of couture design. Founded by master dressmaker Mykola Vyshyvanyuk, this course series offers young talents a rare opportunity to study techniques rooted in European tradition and refined through decades of professional experience.
Whether you dream of designing wedding gowns, sketching your first collection, or learning how to hand-stitch with precision — The Atelier School is where passion meets skill. Classes are available in seasonal sessions and include hands-on instruction in pattern-making, fabric selection, and dress construction.
At The Atelier School, we do not teach through screens. There are no online lessons, no YouTube tutorials—only real couture practice in a working bridal atelier. This is a rare and immersive opportunity for a select group of talented young designers to be mentored directly under Mykola Vyshyvanyuk, a master of bespoke bridal fashion with over 30 years of experience.
Each student will be given their own mannequin, professional-grade sewing machine, and daily assignments that reflect real-world challenges of couture design. You will work face-to-face with individual clients, learning the art of communication and customization. Our atelier is your classroom—filled with the finest French and Spanish laces, silks, and haute couture fabrics.
This hands-on training includes:
Advanced patternmaking tailored to unique body types
Precise cutting and expert sewing techniques
Hand embroidery and delicate lacework
Client fittings and couture adjustments
Designing and constructing full garments from concept to completion
This is not just a course—it is an experience of working in a true couture house.
You will leave with confidence, skill, and a deep understanding of craftsmanship that no virtual course could ever provide.
