My name is Brandy Godsil and I am the founder and instructor at GODSIL Atelier & Creative Center. With over 15 years of experience in the fashion and textile industry, I am excited to share all of the knowledge that I have acquired over the years with you.
My experience includes tailoring and creating for luxury and couture fashion houses around the globe. I have supported editorial and catalog photo-shoots as well as Met Gala, the Oscars, the Golden Globes, NYFW, Paris, London and Milan Fashion Week and numerous celebrity red carpet events.
GODSIL Atelier and Creative Center brings together craftsmanship and education- creating a space where technical skill and creative exploration support a global community of makers grounded in skill, care, and longevity. The mission of GODSIL is to pass on the skills of tailoring, textiles, and craftsmanship to people around the globe.
All courses offered are virtual and in Milan, Italy.
