Here are some tips that may help you throughout your Fashion Design journey:

• First, it is a lot of work and not just drawing pretty pictures. You will be pushed to your limit to expand your creativity and also your technical skills. It is so not glamorous at all. 
• You will know pretty quickly if it's for you or not. You will be surprised at what you can create. You will get what you put into it. You must do internships at reputable companies while in school so you can have work experience to get a job when you graduate. You will spend more money than you thought buying materials for your projects.
• It's good to have your own sewing machine (a home machine is ok) so you can continue working on sewing projects while not at school.

Hope this helps!!!
