The fashion industry is a huge enterprise that sells and creates clothing. Many people want to be a fashion designer and run with the big leagues. In order to do that you have to have prior experience. Luckily, we have an apparel class here at Overhills, taught by Nicole Ross.
This semester she is only teaching Apparel 1. In the class, they had several projects. They had tie dyed shirts, sewn pockets on t-shirts, ombré, drawstring bags and pajama pants, which are a final grade. Next semester she plans on having Apparel 2, in the fall. In order to take Apparel 2, you would have had to take Apparel 1.
Last semester, the Apparel 2 students sold infinity scarves to the students. In the fall classes, the students plan on selling tie dyed clothing, infinity scarves and embroidered things. The embroidered items may not be guaranteed due to the new machines.
There are many colleges that offer a program for fashion. Some suggested colleges are the Art Institute, STAG, Parson's School of Design and F.I.T (Fashion Institute of Technology). Art institutes are located throughout the the United States. Parson's School of Design located in lower Manhattan, New York City. F.I.T is also located in New York City. In the fashion field, you can take up a lot of jobs. These jobs could be a fashion retailer, a fashion designer, visual marketing or visual designer.
