    I've actually heard the same thing from every one of my friends who majored in fashion. Even at good schools, they still felt restricted and a strong loss of creativity. Aren't most top designers dropouts anyway? Its good you made the best decision for yourself.

    well my friend im joining forces with went to my fash school then dropped out to go to a different one and now dropping out of there too. cant help that art is subjective and fashion people are so discriminative and dismissive of original ideas
    im confident we will nail our niche market

    I didn't go to school for fashion -but I still have my BFA. And while I must admit that I am a technically better artist because of it -it did stifle & make me lose my passion. I am slowly regaining this passion now -but it was def a few years before I even looked @ a canvas or paintbrush again. Good for you, dear! School is def not for everyone -there are pros & cons to everything

    I'm currently doing a diploma in Fashion and I 100% AGREE that they dismiss my creativity and ideas. I don't know if it's the "fashion standards" or what's "in", but my style is my fucking style.
    They tend to think there's right or wrong when it comes to trying to do what you're comfortable with. There's always something that is not right in their eyes. It annoys me.
    Maybe they're encouraging me to be more "fashion" or "catwalk" ahh I dunno. I'm only taking this course so I can learn how to make clothes and open up my own little biz.

    Oh yeah, and this shit ain't cheap too!

    i know su su!
    and confusing things like how i wasnt allowed to use velvet because it was not current [but when i looked on the wgsn trend forecasting site it was everywhere] but i wasnt allowed to make biker jackets because they were really popular. no logic. and the people i went to school with i felt dumber just to be around them.

    my new life starts today and im so excited!

    I always wondered about that. It's like on Project Runway, sometimes it's something subjective that makes them pick one design over another. They've said that this or that thing isn't modern/won't sell and sometimes I've seen that very idea selling in a region outside New York City or outside the $400 a piece and up stores. The very shoes we wear with the thick soles were laughed at in the 90s, called cheap, etc. Every top designer including Louboutin has a stripper style shoe now! It wasn't ugly then, they just didn't have the imagination to appreciate it!

    So good luck and go kick some ass!!

    Sounds like it is the right choice. Just get that label rolling ASAP. Cause we all know what happens when non-career strippers get stuck in the "this is all I have rut". Maybe try and put half ur earnings into your new business. Good luck!

    i knowww and im notorious for sitting on my ass and wasting time but i guess having a business partner in crime keeps me motivated and we motivate each other to do things everyday. plus if the label doesnt happen im fucked as i have a bunch of incomplete qualifications and i really dont want to go back to complete them or start at the bottom of the ladder.

    weve already set ourselves some goals, we want to have the name and logo sorted by next month then we gonna start screenprinting tshirts, marketing the shit out of the brand to release the collection next [australian] summer. my friends going to hong kong nxt month to look at and buy fabrics, research manufacturing opportunities etc. we also want to go to a fabric fair in shanghai and to LA to spread the word and be inspired and shit..

    so yeah. thats it for now i guess we just have to keep at it and it will all turn out fine........

    Good for you!!!

    I withdraw from math class, best decision I did so far, might come back when the time is right... but when you're going insane, drop!

    Drop it like it's hot!
