About the Institute

We teach the business behind fashion.

Fashion is more than what people wear. It is a global business powered by people, products, presentation, service, technology, and sales.

The Fashion Retail & Style Institute is a private licensed career school created for people who want to build real opportunities within the fashion retail industry.

FRASI focuses on the business side of fashion—not fashion design. Students learn how products move from brands and suppliers into stores, websites, social platforms, and the hands of customers.

Our Retail Fashion Merchandising Program combines career preparation with entrepreneurship so students can develop workplace skills while learning how to build an ecommerce boutique.
