I just want to know if anyone has the same experience as me...
 I had an interview in April but was told that I needed to send in more project in September (the course starts in November). Who thinks that this is a good thing??? should I be expecting the worst or...? And also, is anyone starting in November? I applied for the MA fashion course... thanks so much for answering!!! |

Well, after reading all 53 pages of this post I can not thank everyone enough for going through everything they have gone through and have helped people along the way! You guys are seriously great, so willing to help.
I have my interview for CSM on November 14th in NYC. I am HOPING to get in for BA Womenswear. I am seriously HOPING AND PRAYING. Let me give you a little background on my self before I ask questions. Okay, Well Hey I'm Marc Sebastian I am currently 18 (turning 19 on Nov1) and I am in my Second year, studying Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology here in NYC. I have been planning on getting my AAS here but not my BFA, I just really don't feel FIT is a great school to get a BFA at. Now, I have been told my construction skills are impressive for a second year but that my art skills are just kinda average. Not average in a bad way, average in a "your work is great but we'd like to see something new". I can draw and have great ideas. My clothing tends to be wearable but with conceptual elements. What I lack in art I make up in accomplishments, work experience and studying abroad. I won the "Best Designer at FIT" and the "Fusion Award" at the 2009 Fusion Fashion show, if you dont know what Fusion is--its basically a fashion show between FIT and Parsons, 15 designes from each school show a collection and winners and a best overall school got choosen, I was this years winner. My show can be seen here--(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS3rCg6ovqg). I have also interned at the following places --Christian Siriano (May-September), Peter Som (September-January), Marc by Marc Jacobs (January to May), Proenza Schouler (May-July) and will finish an internship up at Daniel Vosovic in December. I am also going to be studying abroad in Florence, Italy next semester. Now that all that stuff is over with, what I am asking is What my chances are at getting in? I do not want to do a foundation year. I think that I have learned enough through FIT and other art classes to surpass this. So my problem is this, I have my interview in roughly 1 and a half months, I have a strong portfolio, and an even stronger resume but my portfolio lacks fine art. I am worried they will not see me as a conceptual designer but more of a RTW designer (which I think I want to do). I want to attend CSM not only to gain experience from a world renowned college but also to force the conceptual designer that is hiding in me, out. I am looking for any advice so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help a boy out and Thank you again for everything. |

What would be interesting to know is which were Fashion Design and which BA and MA Also someone mentioned you need a good BA grade to get on the MA. Not at all. I know several people who didn't even graduate who got on the MA. It's about how good your work is (which isn't always indicated by the rigid structure of degree marking- been asked for 100 drawings of jeans, but you do 90 and think they won't count? Fail for you my child!) |

hey guys! I have 2 questions to ask. i wished to go into csm but they rejected me at the first interview I did (well... I did a 6 months course) and they didn't even interviewed anybody. I was applying for womeswear. I went back to my country and now i'm doing some art courses and stuff and I'm thinking in applying for foundation course at Byam Shaw for the course starting in 2010. The thing is
1. Does anyone know if it's really tough to get into art and design foundation? I'm quite lost of what to show at interview cos I have done so many things 2. Does anyone think doing a foundation with 22 is maybe too much? that's silly but it kinda worries me. it would be nice to get a feedback from anyone and if its a pvt it's better. xxx |

i want to apply to fashion BA at CSM. does anyone know if it's best to apply early or does it make no difference? I still have work to do on my portfolio, wonder if applying near the deadline will lessen my chances of getting in? thank you

Do you have no chance of getting into St Martins if your art skills aren't brilliant? I don't get that, its not like you're going for Fine Art... I know you need to be able to realize your ideas on paper but jeez, talk about uppity. Is that really how it is?
If it is - I advise anybody that is worried to just do the Fashion Folio either @ CSM or LCF and then just try again. I never knew they were like that. I knew they were up their own arse but as are most of the creme de la creme! |
