Italian term or phrase: fare scuola

Il lifestyle che ha fatto scuola.
I know what this term means but can't find a good way to turn the sentence in English. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

I never know what to do about confidence level on these. I gave high, because I know these are safe to use, but I see Raff only gave 3 and hers are safe to use too.

Hi Eiileen. what a twister! Often when translating faced with the night impossible, it is best to admit defeat and not attempt the impossible rather than put something that is half-baked and doesn't work. However, you might be able to work in something along the lines of "break new ground and create a new school". Of course "new school" is Raff's idea not mine.
