Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
for awhile i wanted to pursue fashion design-but there are so many schools that offer it, and to be honest not everyone makes it big

I began taking high school classes at the fashion institute of technology in NYC!. I learned so much about the field and other fields surrounding it!. FIT also provides an Accessories program (bags, shoes) with much less people, although it is very hard to get into b/c it is limited!. FIT is the only school in the country with Acc!. Design, so chances of getting a good job is much higher!.

i begin the acc!. design program in the fall and there are only abt 20 people in the entire major!. i think thats pretty cool!.

hope this helpsWww@QuestionHome@Com

apply to schools like FIT
become a MASTER sewer-take classes and try to learn things on your own such as pattern making!. start designing things and create them-ask someone who's good at photography to take pictures of them on models!. sometimes boutiques will be willing to sell your products as long as they get a certain percent of the money!. begin building your portfolio like this and making yourself known in whatever city your in!. also if you're able to create a website of your designs so other people can see them, and possibly sell them on sites like etsy if you're not getting alot of bussiness from boutiques!. and remember you'll get turned down alot but keep pushing yourself!.

best of luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
