Fashion design as a career?
I'm almost 17, and I'm home schooled, so i take fashion design at a local community college. I already have professional sewing skills, and i can use professional sewing equipment, like sergers, ect.. and i was wondering if this a plus since i have started so much earlier then the average wanna be fashion designer?
Also, what does it take to be a fashion designer? The clothes I make are inspired by the 60's pop art , the 80's, and some vintage styles. I like to make clothes that are really fashionable but wearable too, and i have made some handbags. Is that good enough or should i be more creative?
And where can I buy wholesale fabric and other sewing notions like zippers, buttons, thread, ect.
Any other info would be wonderful!
Hi,
I think it is great what you are doing. I know a 16 year old girl who made some belts and they were such a hit she started to manufacture them and sold them in stores it cost her about 10 dollars to make and she sold them for 30 dollars.
If you are close to New York I could give you names of fabric stores and stores for zippers and buttons ect. as I do manufacturing there. Let me know if you are intrested.
Good luck.
