Young Fashion Design

Becoming a successful fashion designer doesn't have to take years and years, says FashionSchoolReview.com, an interactive fashion education site. Becoming a fashion design student can accelerate a designer's rise into the upper echelons of the industry regardless of age or experience. "Find Your Fashion Fortune at Any Age," a new article at FashionSchoolReview.com, describes the career of 25-year-old Barry Jordan, senior men's designer at Ralph Lauren (http://www.fashionschoolreview.com/news/2007/05/fashion-fortune-at-any-age.html).

A degree from a top fashion design school can give talented, hard-working designers the edge they need to make it in the fashion design industry. For instance, British designer Barry Jordan credits his fashion school degree with his amazing success. Although he's only 25, Jordan is a senior men's designer for the Blue Label, AKA Ralph Lauren. Jordan's four-year degree in textiles and design qualified him for an entry-level fashion job at Armani. After only one year, he jumped to Ralph Lauren, where his help redesigning Polo trousers launched him into his current position. Of his four years as a fashion design student, Jordan says, "The degree was first rate, and I wouldn't be where I am now without it."

"Fashion school is not just about building practical skills, teaching the business of fashion, or earning a degree that you can put on your resume -- it's also about working and networking within the industry," says FashionSchoolReview.com in another recent article, "Success in Fashion Starts with Fashion School." The article describes how Behnaz Sarafpour, who designs for Barney's in New York and whose clients include Cate Blanchett and Salma Hayek, was a fashion design student. Sarafpour "learned the practical skills of designing, built a fashion network, and began the art of collaboration -- all of which (led) to her current success," the article says (http://www.fashionschoolreview.com/news/2007/05/success-in-fashion.html).
