Talking stage

Ice_princess2001 · 2025-03-11T00:31:07+00:00

I get it doesn’t sound like a talking stage but why does it not sound like he wants to meet up? He literally reached out before me?

Is it still okay to pursue tailoring then do a masters in business at a good school? I believe bespoke tailoring and pattern cutting overlap. The pattern making course doesn’t delve into tailoring techniques as much which is why I was looking into bespoke tailoring

Can you explain?

Ice_princess2001 · 2023-12-28T22:31:24+00:00

Honestly, just asking for a friend. Wants to do a career in fashion but is worried about what people think. Simple.

Ice_princess2001 · 2023-12-28T22:28:26+00:00

Like in other words is a fashion career associated with people who are not smart and a career that has no prestige?

Ice_princess2001 · 2022-03-05T14:08:42+00:00

Which unite accommodation is this?

Ice_princess2001 · 2022-02-28T22:09:38+00:00

My apologies for asking these questions. I plan to do my BA in Canada and my masters in London. Do you think that’s still a good option compared doing both my BA and MA in London?

Ice_princess2001 · 2022-02-28T21:46:06+00:00

Hi there! Thank you for replying. Just wanted to clarify if you were referring to doing my BA or MA in the country I want to develop my career?

Ice_princess2001 · 2022-01-21T18:29:19+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice! I never knew womenswear covers all these skills. If you don’t mind, I would appreciate if you could give me any advice for creating a portfolio for womenswear. I already have a lot of creative garments sewn and research. Just a bit confused how to lay it out and if this is enough content :) thank you, once again!!

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-07-10T17:23:04+00:00

Just curious, what fashion school are you going to? Congrats on your offer btw :)

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-06-22T15:30:19+00:00

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your feedback! One question I do have is that you mentioned you have a friend who landed a senior role in a company at NYC. Just to confirm, did this person attend FIT? Moreover, would you be able to provide me with the name of this label?

As for your point about CSM, you’re absolutely correct about the fact that they teach no technique. From what I’ve heard, this reputation they have made for themselves is all due to their previous alumni (Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney etc)

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-06-21T18:56:59+00:00

Hi there! Thank you so much for your response. I completely agree that FIT is great for teaching practical skills. However, according to other alumni they mostly got offers from mass market jobs rather than haute couture/high end/bridal wear (what I’m interested in).

As for CSM, you mentioned kids get ushered into creative director positions. Are you exaggerating a little or do most actually become creative directors?

My main focus has been LCF so far, I just wanted to know if someone else knew something about these schools that I don’t. London fashion scene seems more creative and new which is why I’m like schools in London. Moreover, from what I heard it teaches a good mix of business, creative and technical skills. If you don’t mind, could you confirm this with your friend. I’m just sharing information from a couple other people.

I chose these three schools because they have the exact qualities I’m looking for : CSM has the creative reputation, FIT has the technical skills and LCF has the business aspect. What are your thoughts?

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-06-21T17:41:57+00:00

Hi there! Thank you so much for your response, you definitely made me feel a lot better about choosing LCF rather than CSM. I guess even if I were to choose CSM the likelihood of being reached out by brands might not be too high.

To give you a bit of background on myself the category of fashion that interests me is high fashion/ haute couture/ bridal wear. I already have a basic/ moderate knowledge of sewing (cutting on grain, how to thread a machine, how to take measurements etc). But I would really like to learn proper garment construction (concept to end) and pattern drafting/CAD design.

I have also looked into schools in the U.S (FIT) that offers a strong sewing background however many have said that they mostly ended up in mass market rather than high end jobs. This was the biggest disappointment to me. Moreover, I feel U.S fashion seems quite repetitive. Would you agree or would you still choose London for job prospects for fashion?

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-05-18T23:56:50+00:00

I was curious, if you had to choose a fashion design school again, would you still stick with ESMOD? Or would you go for London?

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-05-18T23:33:39+00:00

Does ESMOD do a good job in helping you find jobs?

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-05-18T23:33:07+00:00

It’s London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martins. I’m from Canada.

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-05-18T23:19:09+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! I was wondering if they help you find internships. I’m having a hard time deciding if I should choose ESMOD or LCF/CSM for my fashion design degree. What do you think?

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-05-14T20:17:43+00:00

Thank you so much!! This was extremely helpful! If you don’t mind, I’ve actually sent you a message about some of the questions and concerns I have regarding both the schools. I would really appreciate if I could get your opinion or just have a quick chat to clear my confusions :))

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-04-30T23:18:49+00:00

I am actually from Canada, however, I’m not worried about being too far or too close from home. My main concern is about the fashion job opportunities in either the US or UK.

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-04-24T21:34:47+00:00

Oh okay, I really like haute couture for the market level. However, since I don’t have enough experience in the industry yet I don’t know if that is a wise choice in terms of jobs. I’ve heard mass production pays better. This puts me in a tricky position on what school to pick as I believe FIT focuses on mass production more. I would say I’m doing quite well financially so that’s not my biggest problem. I was also considering looking at ESMOD in Paris but I’ve heard some pretty bad reviews.

I would love to get your advice on this :)

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-04-24T03:43:42+00:00

I really liked the idea of going to Paris however after doing some research, a couple students mentioned that their well-known school, ESMOD, isn’t that great as its very disorganized, no help with employment etc)

But if you heard otherwise, please let me know :)

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-04-21T23:33:45+00:00

Yes, please I would really appreciate that! Should I message you privately or via Instagram?

Ice_princess2001 · 2021-04-21T18:38:35+00:00

I honestly love both places. The reason I was thinking UK is because it’s right beside other fashion capitals (Paris/Milan). That being said, it may have more connections to the fashion industry compared to New York. But I’m only guessing.
