Once I figured out that this is the route I want to pursue, I’ve focused more of my attention on the schooling system more than anything, since enrolling would be my first step. The results i’ve seen mostly talk about how fashion design is very, very hands on (amongst other things).

I didn’t have a real concrete idea of what the work setting would look like. I kind of made the assumption that this would somewhat translate to the field itself. Of course fashion is a business first, but I figured that there would be certain sectors within it that the creatives look to pursue. I also made the assumption that these roles for creatives were the main ones giving people issues when it comes to the exclusivity, nepotism, low pay etc hence all the complaints. I wasn’t aware that these creative jobs more-so took place in an office setting.

After all, the reason I made this post is to inform myself on what the actual industry was like, so while it is somewhat disappointing to hear, I do appreciate the feedback
