I want to become a successful fashion designer but don't know how to start..?

Question

what should I don't or prepare to be successful in this field?

Answer 1

I'd recommend going to school...If you don't want to do that, then I don't know.

You will need a good portfolio to get into a reputable fashion school, a portfoilio which is well versed in all different mediums.

Then, you need to apply like any other college, hopefully you will get in.  Attend school, and do an Internship---that is probably the best way to get your foot in the door is through an internship.  If you go to a reputable school, you will have a better chance @ interning at a well known design house.

Then, work your *** off for little to no money, while staying motivated to design and develop your own line...and hopefully get it picked up.
