    I completely agree. Before entering university, I thought I could study something else and learn the fashion design part by my self. But now that I am studying it, I can't imagine learning all of this without the tools the uni gives me. They teach method, techniques and help you find partnerships for your future career. You only fail if you don't work enough to make it into the fashion world

    I'm a fashion design student in Paris and I totally agree with you. Past the fact that you'll learn how to sew and maybe draw, going to design school is a way to nurture your creativity and, depending on schools, learn new ways to create(through new technologies). When I first planned on applying to fashion design school many people told me that "I could still work in fashion w/out a fashion degree" but as far as I am in my education, I'm glad I didn't listen to them. I've learn some things my passion only couldn't have taught me, things I couldn't have learn by myself WHILE studying another degree. Lastly, fashion school is a good way to build your portfolio with the help of professionals and create your relationships in the industry.

    I studied visual communication and photography before going to university. I'm now studying BA Fashion Communication with Business Studies and looking to do my MA in Fashion Communication next year. The more/deeper I've been studying fashion the more I find myself wanting to design however when making that choice when I was younger, I was always naturally drawn to Image Making more. I don't regret my decision because I really love what I do, however I think when you're naturally creative you always want to jump straight into the next thing. Especially after interning at Burberry last year for the Fabric and Trims development team it's really opened my eyes to what more I could do however I don't think everyone is naturally cut out to be a designer and we need people within the other creative aspects of the industry. It's just as important

    I read 1Granary do an interview where they said too many young designers from CSM and other places get famous too quickly, and then get sucked in to appear in every every event. They miss deadlines and squander their career before it started.
    They also mention how other uoung esigners usually are woefully unprepared for their first collection. Some get selected for NYC fashion week and have to get everything done i a month. They don't have the means or know how to get anything done.

    Everything you said is right and I totally agree, I'm currently 21 but I started my journey in Fashion when I was 17, sketching and illustration I'm self taught but when it came to the technicalities of garment construction I had to learn from someone else and luckily I apprenticed with a tailor with over 31 years of experience and internship really helped me also because you get to see the process of garment making as a business and not as a class project.
    Also like you said "master your craft" I'm currently taking classes for pattern drafting which is of great help when designing.
    School is great but it doesn't define creativity.

    In my opinion you need to study fashion design. Because without those angry teachers puting deadlines for every single project and shouting at you everyday to motivate you. You will never open your mind by yourself to see to search and to think to express..
    Its not about sewing or pattern making as much as it about how to think and creat a brand standing for specific clients type.
    Being a fashion designer means having your own point of view..
    And your point of view must be unique enough because nobody need another galliano theres already one..
    Without being in one of the top ten schools in the world its hard to reach thst level of thinking.
    Good luck dude

      Yeah I agree with De Prince Living My Passions. If developing a perspective was taught then everyone who studied fashion design at the best schools would more or less 'make it', but that is far from the case... There's also advantages to coming to the industry from another background, so long as you invest time to learn the basics. Uniqueness isn't something that's lab-grown, but the right environment can nourish what's already there.

    I really enjoyed this video. I myself study fashion journalism and I feel that formally studying the subject has helped me tremendously. You can learn many things on your own, but sometimes getting an education in something helps you to learn about the subject in a multi-faceted way. I have taken classes in fashion public relations, forecasting, and marketing during my studies. I feel these classes give me tools and different perspectives that allow me to write more knowledgeably on the subject. Fashion is such a broad field that it can be tricky knowing where to guide your attention as you build your knowledge and skillset if you don't take classes in the subject. Of course, formal education in a subject isn't a guarantee or always necessary, but it helps to take away some of the guesswork. Educational costs can be an issue, unfortunately. It is hard to find schools that have some of the other areas of fashion studies and it can be very expensive to do so.

    Virgil Abloh himself said that the type of designer he wanted to take his place was the type that didn’t have fashion school background. There’s a reason for that. Fashion school can mold designers into a box. He wanted someone who can think and design outside of that box. So for anyone who can’t afford fashion school, don’t let the comments discourage you. Being taught by the best of the best designers does not guarantee you to be the a great designer yourself. Just food for thought

Passion and authenticity are key and if you can get that strong message to an audience willing to support you (that in itself being a key skill) then that can only stand you in good stead.

    Tom Ford studied architecture at Parsons which upon first thought seemed to have nothing to do with fashion design, he even misrepresented himself a little when applying for an internship at Chloe I think, without informing the interviewer that he studied a different program. He went into the business with zero knowledge of sewing or pattern-making. However, he was a genius, and the truth is, his architectural background technically got him off to a good start. It's a similar design system which prepared him with the essential learning skills. Most importantly, the artistic progress that is called Critical Thinking - something that any top art academy program nowadays drills into you during your study. It doesn't come to us naturally unfortunately, most people will have to learn it systematically. It's much more than just the tools and resources and technical helps you need.

    I agree with this sentiment. I think that the benefit of going to school is that school (itself) serves as an incubator. a lot of what one will have to do outside of school (i.e. networking) will be laid out for you. also, instead of shooting in the dark to find your interest- there lessons that serve as points of departure for students as they inform themselves on the field, as well as find their interest. a potential con in going to school is that there is (sometimes) a laser focus on how to succeed commercially- oppose to creatively.

I find it extremely accurate because one not only needs construction knowledge but also consistency and a strong sense of aesthetics to create a cohesive collection. Many think that designing is just drawing random stuff but it's not, there's so much more to process of development.

    As a fashion student I feel like it's not absolutely necessary to study design but it is nigh on impossible to get all the best information and education about the topic that you do need to design and create clothes without either doing a degree in it, or in some other institution I guess, basically I don't think that someone could just sit at home, do research on the internet and whatever else, with no instruction from an actual educator, tutor or some kind of mentor and become a designer

      ​@@mercyobasohan5975 Whatever you are doing modelling doesn't require the training of anything else, it's more a genetic lottery so I wouldn't focus too much on that. Luckily we are in the internet age where there is a youtube tutorial on every single fashion design technique so I'd say definitely try some stuff out first and see if you like designing enough to consider it as a career because it's tough.
      Also, in terms of finding your personal style, just learn about more brands and explore more styles, niches and brands and eventually you'll find what you like the most. Style is also always evolving so you'll never have one style for the rest of your life.

I am not a confident person I always think I am not creative enough, definitely not as radical as a lot of art students. Would you say fashion also really requires natural talent? I am also worried that I won't be able to get into CSM as it is really competitive. If you were me what would you do? Any suggestion?
