Hi,
When you’re old enough (probably not yet), get lots of work experience. This will boost your chances of getting into fashion college.
In the meantime, get practising. If you haven’t already started, get a sewing machine, some material and start designing clothes. Have a look around the internet and in magazines for inspiration, and try to put your own spin on designs.
Like modelling, fashion design is a competitive business so your designs really have to stand out. So, if you can make unique clothes, and make them well, you’ll be on your way!
Best of luck!

- Keep up with current fashion but also study fashions from the past even like Elizabethan or Ancient Egyptian. Anything is fair game.
- Keep a notebook/portfolio of your designs and ideas.
- Look at all of the collage fashion programs you can and decide which one you want to go to whether it’s a fashion school or a university. You need to make sure you have the requirements to get in.
- Take a few art classes if you can. This will help you better express your ideas on paper and to understand color better
- Look for inspiration everywhere
- Travel if you can even within your own country
- Look for opportunities to get into the business and make connections ASAP. Who you know is often even more important than what you know. Internships are golden opportunities. I know Teen Vogue has programs for younger people.
GOOD LUCK!
