Fashion Designer available for interviews/mentoring

Hi! I stumbled upon this forum page. I'm a professional fashion designer, who has quickly built up my career and I would like to give back to the community. I know how hard it is to be a young aspiring designer and not having anyone to get advice from. Like many of the commenters in this forum have suggested, I am a graduate of (F.I.T.) Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, NY. I've worked at London and New York fashion companies and now in California.

While I am very busy with my job, I'd like to be able to help out one or some of you by answering your questions about the fashion design field. It would be an honor to be of some guidance.

Please reply with your situation and a contact email, if you're truly passionate about learning more about this industry. No sugar coating here!

Hi !! Fashion design is the biggest dream in my life. I really have a great passion for fashion. However, I do not know where I have to begin. My email: tinnia0707@yahoo.com

I recently just turned down an internship with Anna Sui in NY for personal reasons. While I am grateful for the position in retail they offered me, I was looking for something more having to do with the production or design of THE STORE...like store mapping or styling even. How do I get into that? Thanks!

My daughter is supposed to attend Philadelphia university next month for fashion design. It is expensive and I am unsure it is the right place to go for fashion design. I have no doubt she will work hard and will be good at fashion design but I can't seem to figure out if that is the right school. College is expensive and I would like her to be able to go to school, graduate from a respectable fashion design school and get a job because coming from that school tells employers that the students are prepared to work. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

I have been wanting to be part of an industry of art since I can remember. I am interested in all aspects, fashion, interior, planning, I love it all and I just would like some insight on how to get my foot in the door. I recently graduated with a degree in Business to be able to afford and pursue my dream in design. I hope to start art school by next summer, but I was wondering if there were any businesses or industries that would consider letting me intern as a personal want and not for school or even a job possibility. I would love to gain knowledge as far as hands on and be in the big picture while I was going to school. How can I find or approach someone or some place with this? I am at the point in my life that I just want to jump in and would love to take any chance I can get.

hello my name is bianca,I'm 20 years old and i want to be fashion designer. I believe with my designs I could change the fashion industry. I know the fashion world isnt an easy place to work in.

-I wanna start my fashion design career I wanted to go to FIT but I dont have the money to pay for and I also heard that the Art Institute isnt a good school.I was thinking about going to community college first then just transfereing.Im kind of stuck at this point b I really dont know what to do.

email:faticiabianca@yahoo.com

Community college is a great option; I actually prefer them.

Since you're in Dallas, have you thought of El Centro? That is where I went to school over 30 years ago and I've had a long and respected career based on what I learned there.

Caveat: you probably shouldn't continue to mention your designs "could change the fashion industry" because others will think you haven't thought through it well enough to be taken seriously.

i' am 16 years old i live in tunisia ( north africa ) i'm planning on studing fashion design after graduation and my dream is to work in ny in the fashion industry so what do i need to get there ? will it be easy to find a job ? please help
