Fashion Design in my Future
Hello, 15, female. I love making clothing, I make some of my own and when I go out and wear them everybody says "I love that, where did you get it". I have always been in love with fashion since I was little always wearing little dresses or skirts. I play with my hair all the time and do my make-up. My mom said she could definately see me opening a boutique with my clothes and doing peoples hair and such and that got me thinking, wow what a life. As of right now though, I plan on attending Drexel University for fashion design but that's not for a while away. Can anybody help me for my high school years continuing what I do? Any classes I could take or places I could go to further my knowledge on this topic? I live in Pennsylvania about and hour and a half from Philly without traffic. Thank you!

Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
In high school take apparal constructing. Fashion marketing. Business classes-if you plan on owning your own buisness. Go to your local community center and take sewing classes. Look at getting a job (like during high school) at a local boutique. Look into maybe creating a website to talk about your clothes and post pictures of what you make to show the world! Maybe sell some of your clothes on Ebay? Go to your local craft store like hobby lobby, jo anns etc. BUy patterns and fabric. Make clothes with the pattern and then embelish it or something to make it unique. Take old clothes and paint, be-dazzle etc to make it unique.
Look--in the summer--if there are craft shows in your area. This will help you become a better artist. Fashion is art. Look intro drawing/sketching classes. You need to be able to draw.
Get a sketchbook and start designing!
Hope I helped
I absolotly love clothes too, let me know if you need help with anything!!

Most high schools offer classes you take off campus, like fashion strategies and cosmetology classes. If they don't you can look online, most cities have a directory, there might be some cosmetology classes or a class such as that needing students. You never know what you can find. Good luck!! :D
