History of the Schools

The Tobé-Coburn School for Fashion Careers was established in New York City by Miss Tobé, (née Tobé Coller Davis) an internationally known fashion authority, and Julia Coburn, former fashion editor of the Ladies Home Journal and president of the Fashion Group (later the Fashion Group International, Inc.). Tobé Coller Davis' establishment of the Tobe Report (a weekly fashion consulting report for retailers) in 1927, and the founding of the Tobé-Coburn School in 1937, were seminal events marking the rising significance of the New York City fashion industry. The school opened on September 13, 1937 and drew mostly young women students from across the United States. In June, 1992, the Tobé-Coburn School was merged into the Wood School; the latter founded in 1879. The change of the name from Tobé-Coburn School to the Wood Tobé-Coburn School occurred in June, 1993.

The Wood Tobé-Coburn School awards both diplomas and associate's degrees. Its website states the school focuses on job placement for graduates and financial aid is available for those who qualify.
