So you want to be a fashion designer?
A career in fashion design is perfect for any truly artistic individual, but it does require determination and some luck. The odds of turning into the new Gucci are slim, but it is possible, afterall they made it didn’t they.
First rule to remember is that the fashion industry is cutthroat. You can come up with great designs only for someone else to steal it and proving they did is even harder. Manufacturers only need one sample or just an image for this to be done and suddenly you will find you will defending yourself that the collection you have is original.
More than 25% of all design school graduates end up taking a self-employed route in order to earn higher than the national average wage.
