Jaira Smith replied to Cosetta Marie's discussion Is it worth it to go to School for Fashion Design, or can you be successful, without formal education?"Quick 2 cents... I am a fashion buyer and when I am looking at a new line the formal education plays some weight. You can tell the finish by the education. Don't expect to recover your money right off the bat though. Like another member said,…"

"Most of the time what matters most is our passion for the field- schooling or not. Passion is the salt-minus it from the most expertly made pitza and it looses all the taste-no matter what good stuffings and toppings it has. Now once you are…"

Hi all,I've been considering, how much is the Fashion Design degree really worth? If I go to school and spend all that money, then I will have background knowledge, but can just as easily be using those four years to build my own company without formal education. I am aware that schooling does help with connections, and networks you would probably not else encounter. My question is for the current and past Fashion Design students, what school did you attend? Also, was it worth it, in your…See More

Drag myself to the kitchen to grab a cup of hot cocoa(mmm....) and wake up for the day. I bring the Cocoa into the room, and look around at my studio, brightly lit from the sun. The headless but well dressed (If I might say so myself, he he) mannequin sits in the corner, beckoning me to outdo what she has worn before. I look at the clothing rack full…

The various seamstresses, tailors, pattern makers, couture and ready to wear designers. ? How does this run so smoothly? How do people even get dressed in the morning? Colors, and pleats and ruffles, oh my! I see I'm not in Kansas, anymore, which is good, because I haven't...ever been to Kansas. So I push up my… Continue
