Fashion School 
Thursday, 28 February 2008

Fashion is where money is. The public has grown so obsessed with Hollywood that encourages the fashion industry to evolve on its lucrative growth. Instant popularity is at hand if you have the right combination of everything (say right choice of endorser, right choice of fashion ideas, innovative and creative sense of fashion and the likes).

 

Nonetheless, the fashion industry is a hard business to penetrate. You must be equipped with the knowledge and influences that would provide you the maximum exposure you need to deliver your creations into the industry. But still, most of everything is commanded by your brilliance in designing that would give you center stage.

 

Your talent might be there. It is an innate property that can't be stolen from you. It is in your own discretion though to let that talent turn into passion. But talent and skills are not enough. You have to undergo formal instructions to be able to hone those special features and direct them specifically towards becoming the best of your self.

 

This is the basic principle why fashion schools exist and continue to serve budding artists. They provide guidance and supplemental training to drive the artist to achieve with his creations. While online fashion schools have been gathering fame in the fashion industry, this still does not negate the fact that hands-on training and face-to-face instructions can't be equaled even by the best online degree offers.

 

Since you are considering entering a fashion school, it is expected of you to be knowledgeable enough on the fundamentals of fashion designing and basic awareness on designing. However, this is not an implication that the student must produce ramp-quality creations initially. Instead, you are expected to bring out the brilliance in simple designs and create concepts that you may have patterned on the works of some great fashion designers or better yet, designs of your own concepts.

 

Remember that fashion designers only make name in the industry when they have produced something genuinely creative that can cater the present fashion sense while having the originality and good sense of distinction from other fashion trends.

 

You may not possess this nature for the moment. But the thing is, an efficient fashion school could best bring out the brilliance in you and in your creations. Initially, you may be producing rubbish concepts but this would be set off with good learning you have acquired from a formal school.

 

Some people may contend that even without proper education, an artist can create fashion trends that will be embraced by the public. Yes, that might be true. But remember that there are too few individuals who have made it into the fashion scene with the littlest formal study. Besides, even the trends in fashion change. What may have been true before cant be exactly true now. A formal schooling would update you of the most recent trends and the analysis of past styles that have recreated the industry.

 

A fashion school, like tertiary education will help you seek out your niche. You might have creative ideas lurking in your mind but these free-flowing ideas would be turned into nothing if not properly directed.

 

Moreover, the experiences of instructors in the fashion schools would be passed down on you. Thus, you are less likely to fall into the same pitfalls they have arisen from themselves.

If England has Rumpelstiltskin who spins gold fabrics, Italy has Count Giorgini who spun the fabrics of the fairytale story of Italian Fashion. The remarkable date was on February 25, 1951 when a fashion show was staged by the Italian legend in front of a global audience in the beautiful city of Florence.

 

What has the Count done for fashion in Italy?

 

Count Giorgini revived the fairy tale ambiance of the elitists by setting up his own palace as a place for fashion shows, thus providing courtly scenery for the production of fashion anthologies. In other words, members of the high society themselves, who wore the dresses that were considered fashionable during those times, took part in epitomizing the standards of fashion and beauty. From then on, the trend of presenting fashion for the nobles and by the nobles was evident in courtly rooms of their own museums and/or abodes alongside erected sculptures of this kind of fame.

 

He and his class have made a clear statement that dress can be a medium to assert one's individuality. Subtly, he communicated that fashion can be a language of desire.  Furthermore, fashion can be a game of emulations, erotic domination, and flirting glances.

 

There was also a time when even cinema was predisposed by Italian fashion. The nuptials of Tyrone Power and Linda Christian in the year 1949 created a stereotyped yet fantastic image of Italy as the Land of Love, of Art and the Beautiful as the bride chose a dress made from Italy. Dress served as an object of charm that can make beautiful transformations to an individual, just like in well-loved fairy tales.

 

In the 1960s, about the same time when London took the spotlight in the world of fashion, every majestic way of life in Italy has crumbled. During the industrial boom, social status and social roles were also revolutionized. Novice fashions in produced garments flowed into the marketplace and women around the world started to realize that they could dress stylishly at a low price.

 

Global recognitions for Moda de Italia garments were gained with the success of Prêt-à-porter" between the 1970s and 1980s.  These were the years when Milan grabbed the attention of the world and transformed itself into a fashion landmark. Until now, topnotch fashion designers continue to create fashion statements from the mini-skirt to denims or blue jeans and other various evolutions continue to enchant the world.

 

Now, consider the following institutions that have been established to serve as citadels that provide artists who can revolutionize the world: 

 

            1.             Moda Altieri, Accademia Altieri is located at 00187 Roma, 50 San Nicola da Tolentino (info@accademialtieri.it; http://www.accademialatieri.it).

 

            2.            Academia d' Belle Arte di Viterbo is located at 01100 Viterbo, 17 Col

                  Moschin (abavt@tin.it).

           

            3.            Accademia Europea d' Moda e Costume d' Franco Reale is located at 

                        00186 Roma, 35 Lucina at Piazza San Lorenzo.

 

4.            Accademia Internazionale d' Alta Moda ed' Arte del Costume Koefia is

situated at 00192 Roma, 203 Cola di Rienzo.

 

5.         Istituto Carlo Secoli can be found at 20154 Milano , 5 G. Prina   

(info@secoli.com).

           

            6.             Istituto Europea d' Design lays at 20123 Milano, 1 Giardino.

 

            7.            Istituto Italiano di Fotografia (Italian Institute of Photography) is situated at

                        20144 Milan, 13 Forcella.

 

            8.            Istituto Superiore di Alta Cataldo lies at 00184 Roma, 204 Nazionale. 

           

            9.            Polimoda campuses at 501443 Florence, 77 Pisana in Villa Strozzi (info@polimoda.com; http://www.polimoda.com).

 

            10. Scuola Progettisti di Moda, Universita degli Studi di Urbino can be found

                        at 61029 Urbino (PS), 54 Bramante (scuola.moda@uniurb.it).

 

It suffices to say that the fashion of Italy has evolved from a sense that dress confirms how one is situated in a social status into an instrument that can create the appearance of a beautiful city and presently a place of creativity and competency.

School, obviously, is the one main vehicle where you can acquire basic and formal training. This is true to all fields and industries. And as such, the fashion industry does not escape this reality.

 

You may have the talent and the unique sense for fashion but without structured training, you might fail to understand and explore more on your gifts.

 

Besides, one's success in the field of fashion relies partly on your choice of school. In this article, we will give you the basic criteria you can use in exploring your options of fashion design school.

 

Cost- This is one of the main considerations that largely affect your choice of school. The sad truth with fashion design schools is that they are too few and among the relatively small number are the handful schools that can truly deliver efficient education.

 

As with many other things, low cost fashion design schools are good but only if they can give effective learning. This is rarely the case though. Often, with lower fees, lower quality of education may be had. This is due primarily to the reason that such schools can't afford higher paying professionals to provide them with manpower. Thus, they settle for people who can give service at a low price. Don't let quality suffer over the limit of your budget. There will always be some well-performing fashion design schools that will suit your means.

 

Area of Specialization- In the fashion industry, it is well recognized that one should have special fields where they are greatly inclined to. This must be triggered or further supplemented by the fashion school of your choice.

 

The first thing you would want to do is to study the nature of the fashion design school. What fields does it cater? What courses does it focus on? What are their main emphases in delivering the art? These are among the many things that you should give intense consideration since the fashion design school that you will be choosing would largely influence your career later.

 

The best aid for your choice of school is to know its reputation. A self respecting fashion design school is one that makes itself renowned in the world of fashion. Does your school of consideration participate in fashion school competitions? This would be a sure mark of fostering excellence in the industry and the school's commitment for brilliant education.

 

To maximize your strength, you must therefore find a school that focuses on your own field of specialization.

 

Considerations on the Curriculum- As with college education, you must also check into the curriculum offered in the school of fashion design. To get the best offered in your spectrum of choices, you can compare curriculum from various schools and decide what you think would best fit in your preferences.

 

Ratio of teacher to students- The size of a class against a teacher means two things- the school is either too popular or it's the other way around. Nevertheless, the larger the size of the class the more likely would education suffer. It is often better to choose between schools of relatively fewer students since this will normally have the implication of focusing better on the students.

 

These are only some of the major points to consider in choosing your fashion design school. As for your final decision, your best judgment must out rule any doubt.

Toronto is often mistaken as Canada's capital maybe because this capital city of Ontario has the largest population in the entire country. The city prides of a theater scene that can compete against those of New York and London.

 

Moreover, the city houses the Royal   Ontario Museum, which is the largest in the country and its skyline, also boasts of CN Tower, the world's tallest structure. If housing the tallest and large structures is not enough, how about the city serving as hosts to topnotch American filmmakers? Toronto serves as venues of the Neilson Park Creative Center and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art.

 

As an additional benefit, you will realize that the city is bustling with action as most popular attractions are within walking distance. In other words, a short stride will bring you to the waterfront, thousands of hotels, sports venues, along with restaurants that serve fine cuisines, to name a few. Thus, it suffices to say that the city is one heck of a cultural center.

 

These things show that the city, indeed, support and celebrate the arts, which in turn provide inspiration for the creative minds.

 

And while referring to arts, it is inevitable that the fashion industry takes a spotlight. Arts and fashion are closely related because of the one concept and that is design. If you are creative, love the arts, and appreciate the dynamism of culture, Toronto's fashion schools can provide you with the training for the exciting career in designing and the arts.

 

Why Toronto is a great place for fashion design students?

 

The Neilson Park Center serves as a haven to the Rugcarfters of Etobicoke, the Etobicoke Handweavers and Spinning Guild for anyone interested in textiles, especially fashion design students.  

 

Aside from this cultural venue, there is an array of opportunities for fashion designers who do not become famous. With artistic talent and creativity, fashion designers can work in a fashion illustration or textile design, work for a garment manufacturer, or get into advertising or even retail purchasing. For business-minded individuals, they can blend their skills in fashion design with courses in business to prepare for a career in management, say fashion wholesale or retail.  

 

The competition among retailers make the city an affordable place to shop, and this fact can be considered as a bonus for starting fashion designers.  Also, designers can work their creative minds on designing labels and bottles for rums aside from apparels.  This works in Toronto, too.

 

Now, if you have been dreaming or are already convinced of going to a fashion school in Toronto, you can make it into a reality. Check out a couple of fashion schools in Toronto that provide courses in marketing, fashion design, and merchandising:

 

1.            International Academy of Design and Technology

The school has campuses in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Orlando. They provide program areas and a variety of degree levels designed to fit your unique career track. In detail, they offer:

?            Diploma in Fashion Design

?            Diploma in Merchandising and Fashion Marketing

 

2.         Art Institute of Toronto

 

The school focuses on the business and creative aspects of the fashion design industry. The institute also promises that career support shall be available after finishing programs in:

?           Fashion Design

?           Fashion Merchandising/Marketing

 

The city is large so you can survey more schools. Your guts and your dreams are all that you need to do to hone your creative self in this thriving city.

Chicago, the "windy city" is known for its multicultural population as well as its dramatic architecture and love for the arts.

 

In detail, Chicago has:

 

1.         at least 3 million people

2.            harbors, parks, beaches, clubs, and ethnic restaurants

3.         29 miles of lakefront, museums, neighborhood festivals, and cultural attractions

 

People visit the city as often as winds do. Also, tourists favor the mid-western hospitality of the people. They also share stories of their enjoyment in going to exhibits in museums like Degas, Monet, and the whimsical "Cows on Parade" of Summer 1999.

 

The businesses blended with the multicultural aspects of the city are said to be the driving "winds" that spur creativity among people who visit or study in Chicago. As always, it is inevitable to have fashion schools within a city that celebrate and support the arts and dynamism of culture.

 

The following are some featured fashion design schools in Illinois:

 

1.         The International Academy of Design and Technology is located in Chicago. 

 

The institute offers the following degree programs:

 

?            Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major in Fashion Design and Marketing

?            Associate of Applied Science in Fashion Design and Marketing

 

The curriculum of Fashion and Design assimilates the study of new trends and innovations in the thriving international industry of fashion with the mastery of traditional skills, thus providing a holistic background to both fashion amateurs and masters alike when it comes to designing.

 

?            Bachelor of Arts, Major in Merchandising Management

?            Associate of Applied Science in Merchandising Management

 

The program of Merchandising Management provides students and professionals as well as with the opportunity to contend within the job market by integrating theoretical concepts with practical implementations. However, students can rest assured that after graduation their skills on developing suitable visual displays, and utilizing appropriate business practices and scales are honed to help them achieve profitability in the long run. 

 

2.         The Illinois Institute of Art is primarily situated in Schaumburg. The degree programs they offer vary by location.

 

The Illinois Institute of Art is, basically, an association of schools in different locations. Collectively, the Art Institute is considered as a leader in the area of applied science education.

 

Their courses such as Fashion Marketing and Fashion Design are restructured on a regular basis to reveal ideas garnered from industry advisors, leaders, and employers for relevance and practical applications in the marketplace.

 

The Art Institute also possesses seasoned faculty members who are also affiliated to the local community of functions. Thus, this provides students with plenty of occasions for consultation with industry professionals and practicing designers. As students' knowledge and skills improve through the programs, they are required to plan an initial design and execute it into a finished product to cap their stay in the institution.

 

            3.             International Academy of Design and Technology

 

The school has campuses in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Orlando. They provide program areas and a variety of degree levels designed to fit your unique career track. In detail, they offer:

 

?            Diploma in Fashion Design

?            Diploma in Merchandising and Fashion Marketing

 

These are only three among the plenty list of schools in this city. The decision now lies in your hand. Within the "windy city" are competitions and strict trainings from various places in the job arena. Where do you think the "will of the wind inside you" will bring you and your high hopes of hitting it big in the fashion industry?

If you are thinking about going to a fashion school, then California is the place for you. There are many California fashion schools to pick from. Some may be good, some may be bad, but surely you will find the best one for you. How do you choose a California fashion school? Here are some tips and standards you can use to get you started:

 

1) Location - some people may not care where a fashion school is as long as it is inside California. However, you should realize that California fashion schools could often be judged through their locations. Find a California fashions school, which is near fashion centers. This means you need to find a California fashion school, which is located where all the action is. This will help you as a student since it will give you exposure to what's out there in the real world.

 

Some students would prefer a California high school that's located in a place, which would inspire them. Some choose to attend California fashion schools, which are located near the sea or close to nature. From the scenery, a student can gain inspiration enough to produce a new work of couture art.

 

2) Affiliated or Independent - should you go with a California fashion school which is a part of a prestigious university, or should you go to one which stands on its own? There are cases when a California fashion school within a university is better since the name on your resume will help you get great jobs easier. However, there is also something to be said for an independent school, which can hold its own against the big names.

 

One thing you should consider is the fact that in a big school, you are mostly paying for the name of the school and not for the quality of education. You are paying additional cash to have the name of the university on your resume. This would help you get a job easier.

 

The fashion world, however, rarely cares for the name of a university if it does not perform well. If you have the name of a great independent school on your list, you might find it easier to get a job.

 

3) Cost - there is also the cost to think about. California fashion schools cost money. There is no denying that fact. The question that remains is: "how much money should it cost you?"

 

There are, of course, schools which offer discounted tuition for various reasons. Some are suffering declines in enrollment. Some may just be starting their operation and are trying to break into the market. In opting for these schools, you could save a lot of cash. However, you should consider that you might be sacrificing quality for cost.

 

You could also consider going to schools, which are more prestigious. These schools may ask you to pay a lot of cash in order to study there. However, you should remember that high cost doesn't necessarily equal high quality. You need to realize that in some schools you will not be paying form an education but you will be paying for the name.

 

Choosing a California fashion school might seem like a hard task. However, by considering these tips and truly knowing what you want, you can make it a very easy experience for you.

The word "best" is always relative. What's best for you may not be the best for others. This is the reason why you should not trust a business that claims to be the best. You need to compare various fashion schools in order to actually find the best one for you. In comparing fashion schools, however, you are going to need some standards. Here are some standards you can use:

 

1) Cost - some people think that the best fashion schools are the most expensive ones. These people think that just because education is expensive, it is also high quality. What you need to know is that studying fashion is not cheap. However, it doesn't really need to be ridiculously expensive. Some schools just want to appear exclusive in order to attract more students. They pretend to be the best fashion schools by charging outrageous fees to those who wish to be students.

 

Because of this, you should understand that cost is not the best standard to use in judging quality.

 

2) Location - there are people who think that attending the best fashion school means going to Europe. They believe that in order for a fashion school to be among the best, it should be located as far away from their hometown as possible. There are some positives to this view. Schools located in fashion centers tend to be more aggressive in their education. They also tend to be more updated on the world of fashion. If this is the sort of school you think is best for you then go attend it.

 

You need to remember, however, that some things require a lot of sacrifice.

 

3) Prestige - some people think that the best fashion schools are the ones that get featured in magazines and the television. They believe that attending such schools would rub a little of the prestige of onto them. People believe that the best fashion schools are the most well known ones. However, you need to remember that sometimes, the best fashion schools like to keep quiet about their greatness. All the magazines in the world could not compare to the testimonials of other people. It is often the case that the best fashion schools do not get known through the papers, but through the words of their students.

 

4) Instructors - some think that the best fashion schools are the ones, which hire famous personalities as instructors. In fact, they may have a point. People in the fashion industry do not get famous if nobody likes their work. However, there is one drawback to this: people in the fashion industry are almost always competing against each other. This competition can be very distracting and may hinder the learning process.

 

5) The alumni - there are also people who think that the best fashion schools are the ones attended by successful personalities. They believe that the past will be the guide of people to face the future. Because of this, people often seek out the schools of well-known fashion personalities and set out to fulfill their dreams.

 

Before you use this standard to judge the best fashion school, you need to remember that schooling is only a small part of a person's greatness. It is an important part, of that you can be sure. However, you need to remember that greatness always lies within yourself.

High school is a time of growing up. It is a time of socialization. It is a time of declaring who you are. All these and more are reflected on high school fashion today. There are various looks that high school students have. Here are some of them:

 

1) The Rocker - this high school fashion is very popular among fans of rock bands. This may include shirts that make statements or shirts featuring their favorite band. This high school fashion also often includes a lot of trinkets including studded bracelets, a tribal necklace. Of course, taking on this high school fashion needs the appropriate attitude to go with it. You need to be truly passionate about the music. It helps if you have an ipod with huge headphones to go with the look. Other optional accessories include a musical instrument used in rock such as a pair of drumsticks or a guitar case.

 

2) The Jock - Just wearing the varsity team jacket will transform any outfit into "jock mode". Some people who wear this fashion often try to hide their poor fashion sense behind the huge letters and colors of the high school. Trying out for a school team and actually earning the right to wear a jacket easily accomplish the jock look. The school varsity chess team does not count, though.

 

3) The Goth - Goth fashion can be defined using one word: black. People who wish to make statements of angst often use this high school fashion. Weird looking accessories are a must, as is black eyeliner and black lipstick. Although students who make use of this fashion claim to do so to show their individuality, it is more commonly caused by wanting to belong to a group of people who want to show that they do not belong.

 

4) The computer geek - in the past, geeks and nerds were distinguished because of their not-so-cool-clothing. The thing is, they are too busy with other projects to be too much concerned with what they are wearing. Today, though, having geeky clothing is not necessarily such a bad thing. This is because of the fact that geeks today are thriving because of computers. Even role-playing gamers have raised from the status of suspected Satan worshippers to world-class cyber athletes. Isn't that a big improvement? In order to achieve the look of this high school fashion, you need to really be preoccupied with solving the problems of the universe to actually care about what you are wearing. A shirt with a witty saying or technological jargon would help complete this look for you.

 

5) The Fashionista - this is the hardest look to maintain since it requires that you always be updated on the latest high school fashions. You need to research thoroughly on the subject of what's hot and what's not. You need to constantly scout out malls in order to be the first one to have the best outfit ever. You need to have the instincts of Carson from "Queer eye" in finding the perfect outfit. Your duty does not end here. As a fashionista, you will have to establish the highest standard of high school fashion.

 

Of course, these are just some of the high school fashions in circulation today. In order to learn more, just look around at your local high school.
