“Fashion will allow you to work to your strengths, you will learn all aspects of the industry. For those with a creative eye, the most obvious role is as a fashion designer. There’s also less obvious choices such as: costume designer, fashion buyer, fashion merchandiser and fashion photographer. The industry is fast paced and exciting. My favourite part is watching an idea develop into a design on paper and progress into a 3 dimensional piece that is adorned and admired by others.”
