Live Streaming... The S/S 2025 Fashion Shows
I'm a shoe designer, I just graduated from FIT in a 2 year footwear course, and honestly it was a waste of my time--and I love FIT, I just wished I would've doen Milan or London first. Parsons is ok, but I'd still stick with London or any of the schools in Italy. I swear I only learned theories at FIT.Originally posted by lepeep@Sep 16th, 2003 - 9:48 pm
I was just at London College of Fashion a few months ago taking a fashion design course. This was before I decided to go into shoe design -- but yes London is a great place to learn how to make shoes.
I'm taking the continuing ed class at Parsons which is very good too. I'll get to make a shoe and develop a portfolio.
Once I have a portfolio, I just want to know how to get my foot in the door. I've heard shoe design jobs a harder to come by than ready-to-wear design jobs. I don't want to work for a mass market company(like Nine West.) These are a few people I would like to design shoes for: Marc Jacobs, Micheal Kors, Vera Wang, Badgley Mischka - basically any high end AMerican designer (although I prefer EUropean design, I'm not willing to move to EUrope)
Yeah I have but they aren't what I'd call the "greats" but it was experience nonetheless. Kenneth Cole, Xoxo, and Coach. That's about it for the US if you ask me as far as internship, hence my reasons for going over seas for the remainder of my studies. I'm still grateful for the experience though.Originally posted by lepeep@Sep 25th, 2003 - 6:53 pm
Oria -- Have you worked with any shoe companies yet? Is it hard to get a good shoe design job in the US?
the thing that most suprised me was how the design part of the business seems the least important.Originally posted by tealady@Sep 25th, 2003 - 4:44 pm
Do tell, Acid! What did you learn that surprised you most??
