Re: Any Fashion Design Students?
i didnt know UofT had a fashion programme.
its a cut throat business, and very very very few make it as designers. most end up in merchandising, or quality control or in factories as seamstresses. give it a good thought before venturing out in this business :)
ive studied fashion arts at seneca college and would highly recommend it... we had graduates from Ryerson coming in and wanting to redo the course cuz they werent taught the practical thinking needed in making clothes.. a design is nothing if you dont know how its going to come together ...
to make it as a designer, you need contacts to work with the big designers, money to start up your own thing, or just sheer luck to succeed.
freelance designing has worked out great for me (i did bridal and formal wear) and i also managed to do something myself from home, on the side. so its not impossible, but very very hard.
best of luck :) .
