Hello all,

Looking towards dropping everything I’m doing now (I work an office job) and starting a career in fashion. I’m going to be honest - I don’t have the drawing skills and my sewing skills are minimal - home ec 12!

If anybody can offer any advice as to what schools to attend, or how I can get my foot in the door - I’m more than willing to start off at the bottom of the foodchain!

Any advice would be appreciated!!!

Thanks!

This IS the best school.  Good luck!

I don’t know about the Passion.  My daughter has a fashion design degree (4 years) from Kwantlen and wouldn’t even look at Helen Lefeaux.  Also I think Bonita Buttaface needs to do some work before she applies anywhere as she needs a portfolio to get in any real institution.

Kwantlen is good as well but I have a soft spot for Helen as she was the person who taught me how to draft a pattern, history of fashion and not to mention her numerous stories of how she got started.  Recently I met someone who is a graduate of Helen’s school and is in next season’s Project Runway.

I think BonitaButtaface doesn’t have enough skills for Helen Lafaux as it such a short program you have to go in with some expertise.  I know of one student that did both Helen Lafaux then Kwantlen now has her own business.
