Amanda T :

what are the chances of me actually getting a good fashion designing job in New York (where i hope to live when i ‘m older) ? how much education do you need to get into a college of some sort for it (if there are any).?

no one answered my question in the fashion category so i put it here if you’re wondering

ive been looking into this as well. i do know though for some colleges you need a grade 12 english and a grade 12 textiles(sewing) class. then again it all depends on the college itself. and of course if you want to become a good designer it takes a lot of hard work and time, it doesnt come right away. look into it some more, and look up some colleges.
good luck!!!

Is it possible , yes, unlikely highly. Now, if we are talking , entry level, as along as your are persistent, you could get a job in the industry , but expect to also work and restaurant to also make ends meet

There are many good fashion colleges, especially in New York (do a search for Project Runway for the excellent fashion college there.) One of the most important elements in a career in fashion is the ability to sew, very well. If you don’t already know how to sew, go to a community college near you and get into their program.

New York and Paris are the 2 destinations for fashion designers, so it will be competitive, but worth it! Go for it!
