Although West Hollywood loves to showcase established talents at events like Westweek and Legends Week, the design-happy city is also all about grooming future heavy-hitters who've yet to get a driver's license. Enter Designer Camp, a five-day creative program for aspiring stylists, fashion designers, interior and set decorators, photographers and other young talents between the ages 12 to 17.

Taking place Monday, July 6th to Friday, July 10th at the West Hollywood Library's Meeting Room, the hands-on "camp" (9am to 3pm daily) will include styling workshops, guided tours through West Hollywood Design District's most inspiring showrooms and boutiques, presentations from industry insiders, and even a shopping sesh at the Beverly Center.

Know an interested up-and-comer? Registration is $750 before June 1st ($900 after); check out the full curriculum here and buy tickets here.
