The document summarizes an outfitting workshop held at a store. It provides an agenda for the workshop which included getting inspired by discussing trends, learning outfitting fundamentals, creating outfits, and getting feedback. Attendees enjoyed sharing inspiration and having freedom to use different products. The biggest takeaways were discussing trends to spark creativity and learning about considering textures, volumes and colors when styling. For future workshops, attendees wanted to learn more about properly placing products and setting up walls of outfits, as well as refining their outfitting skills.

What did you like most about the lab?

“learning about all the components to take into consideration when dressing forms like texture, volume, color, etc,” - Elorrah
