Start Your Fashion Design Journey — The Right Way
Free 10-minute Mini-Course
A Free 10-minute Mini-Course that shows you the real first steps to becoming a fashion designer — taught by Nino Via, founder of Fashion Premier Academy.
~ If you’re here, something inside you already knows you’re meant to create.
~ Maybe you’ve been dreaming of becoming a fashion designer for years but don’t know where to start…
~ Or maybe you’ve started — but you feel lost, scattered, or unsure what the actual steps are.
~ Or maybe you’re overwhelmed by Instagram “perfect designers” and YouTube tutorials that go nowhere.
Wherever you are — you’re in the right place.
I’m Nino Via — Fashion Design Creative Director & Coach.
I grew up in Rome, studied at FIT in New York, worked at Ralph Lauren, and taught future designers at FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. Now I help aspiring creatives design their future with clarity, skill, and confidence.
If you’re here because fashion calls to you — you love it, you’re curious about it, and you want to know how to actually begin — welcome. Let’s start this journey the right way.
