Hey, I live around San Francisco but I can not go to Academy of Art because it is too expensive for me so I opt for a community college first than transfer to a CSU instead. So does it matter if I go to a fashion school or not? My major is Journalism because I love to write poems, essays, and read fashion magazines. How did you intern with Seventeen magazine? When i was in high school I tried to email Anne, the editor of Seventeen magazine for an interview but she rejected me.

I think you also forgot LIM – Laboratory Institute of Merchandising – it’s in New York. I got accepted but didn’t go :(

From what I heard, it’s up there with FIT-NY and FIDM. I like LIM because it’s the BUSINESS side of FASHION. So it’s not the whole how-to-make-clothes path, but still get to learn fashion.

I know it´s a little late, but I really love this post!

My major is on Marketing and I´m actually doing a double degree/Master in Management at an École de Commerce in France, but what I really want is Fashion Marketing and Merchandising… so I would like to enroll at FIT as soon as I finish college (Jan 2012), but I´ll be 23 by then and I´m afraid I´ll be too old to star and undergraduate program in Fashion Mkt… but I don´t know… what do you think?

Thanks =)

I want to work in the fashion business as well, but i didnt want to major in fashion, because maybe i change my mind in 1 oder 2 years – you never know. And then i’m stuck in a fashion university. So i decided to major in business studies and do some internship in some more popular fashion stores, to get an idea of what work in the fashion business actually means. I hope it all works out the way i want it to and i’ll become a fashion manager.

Just to let you all know. being a fashion major means NO sleep.. I have a friend who went to FIDM in LA, and she told me she would have NO free time. They give you like 2 days to make an outfit or design something. Any art school is very time consuming and you need to make sure you are willing to make the sacrafise of friends and shopping and hanging out for designing fashion and drawing. I go to a COMUNITY COLLEGE and I don’t see any of my friends unless I am at school. My friends are those who are in my department but we don;t hang out after we are done for the day

Oh, my gosh. Thank you. This is one of those questions that’s been in the back of my head for SO long! I’m really glad I read it as a freshman so I can keep this all in mind as I go.
