At what age did you start getting into fashion?

[LolaSvelt]

Always been interested in overall fashion. 13/14, when I started to get interested in high fashion.

I can't remember?, but my love for specific designers started at my late teens. Before I got into fashion, I was really into drawing, music and movies. My love for punk music made me discover Vivienne Westwood... my favorite Japanese illustrators and musicians liked Comme des Garçons, so I discovered Rei Kawakubo...

I'm still not familiar with a lot of the bigger brand names. I haven't read any of Coco Chanel's biographies, because her work has never really 'touched' me. I started buying loads of fashion designers' biographies thanks to this bookstore in the Old Port of Montreal (carrying the Assouline books) when starting college... so I guess my passion started when I was 17.

I would have to say 15-16, I knew the big names like Chanel, Versace, & Gucci but now I know all the small and big names too.

I first gotten into it at around 15/16 but fell away at the age of 20 (depressed, bad health, bad marriage, etc.). Then about three years ago at age 26, I started getting more health mentally and physically, I got into it again. I helped to see pictures of myself wearing bad clothes (ill fitting jeans and boxy t-shirts).

I'm kind of a late bloomer.

I'm 17, and I've been into fashion as long as I can remember!
The first time I used string and a needle was at age 3, and when I was in kindergarden I would sit in front of fashion shows on TV, with tissue and a needle trying to copy the clothes, and just get mad because it didn't look anything like it.
Since then it has always been a passion.

hmmm. i can say fashion as a whole has interested me since i was 16. that's when my convoluted high school fashion sense started to evolve into a more well-groomed, tailored high fashion taste. and as far as my interest for fashion design goes, i decided only recently to pursue it as a career officially last autumn; but have been wanting to do something with fashion since 16 only because i wanted clothes that would fit me as a person because i couldn't find a look that said "me" on it other than the perfect cut of Dior Homme

Ummm Ive been always interested in fashion and models but really got deeper into all that stuff about 5 or 4 years ago I think

12. Well if you count what I was wearing was fashionable. But I was really paying attention then and I wanted to wear cute clothes, I had just gotten out of my tomboy phase around that time. Before that all I wore was shorts and tank tops and never brushed my hair. I'm 16 now. My mom thought I was going to be a tomboy forever, sometimes it surprises her what I wear now compared to back then.

I've always adored clothes..
I remember insisting on picking out my outfits and borrowing my mother's bags when I was in kindergarten
Then when I reached the age of 13-14 I got really into fashion in general, much thanks to foreign fashion magazines...
When I was 15 I found this forum and since then fashion has been my number one interest..
