I went to fashion school, FIT. I studied fashion design. So why did I still have to learn so much about pattern making after I left school? The answer taught me something important about becoming a fashion designer: Learning about fashion and actually being able to do fashion are two different things. ~ In this video, I share part of my own journey—from fashion school to working in the industry—and explain what I discovered about pattern making, technical skills, practice, and the process of turning a two-dimensional idea into a three-dimensional garment. And I'm going to show you a real pattern-making principle so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. Because becoming a fashion designer isn't about knowing everything before you begin. It's about learning, creating, making mistakes, solving problems, and continuing to develop your skills. ~ If you're an aspiring fashion designer, I hope this video helps you look at your education—and your own creative journey—a little differently. You don't have to know everything before you begin. You just have to begin. Learn. Create. Experiment. Correct. Repeat. That's how you become the designer. — Nino Via Design Your Future — Be a Future Designer.
