Hello,

My name is Tashi. This is my first time posting here. I came across this site by chance and was thrilled. I had never been able to find a site where people discussed fashion in depth.

I am currently taking a French dressmaking course at a private school in NYC. My goal is to spend some time studying in Paris at the Chambre Syndicale school.

After my course ( and when im old enough!) i'l be off to CSM or somewhere.

I studied for a year at AIU in London, I'm now going to Drexel University in Philadelphia for fashion. I plan on getting my master's at Central St. Martin's for knitwear. I'm in my second year of uni.

[wyatt.]

who of all of you want to be designers?

well more my question is where are looking at going to school?

i jump back and forth between advertising and designing but i like the hands on part of designing better.

i'm looking at more fine art based colleges like
MICA [maryland insititue of art]
Chicago Insititue college of art
Cooper Union
and then there's schools like fit, pratt, and parsons in nyc

Rhode Island School of Design I hear has a pretty decent cirriculum too,with which you might want to take into consideration. NY designer Tess Giberson attended that one.

From the things I hear,its quite substantially based(creativity,expression et al)combined with the technical stuff. Sounds awfully similar to that of the Royal Academy in Antwerp. Perhaps,the most underrated of schools. But maybe that's a good thing?
