A fashion school is a necessity if you’re looking to grow a career in fashion.
Building a fashion brand goes beyond knowing how to cut and sew. There are so many fashion businesses that have failed as a result of having no knowledge in the business aspect of fashion designing. Does that sound strange to you? I’m hoping you didn’t answer in the affirmative.
Pricing is a key aspect in fashion designing if you indeed want to grow a thriving career. If you do not know how to cost what your services, then you may just be working as an elephant and reaping like an ant. Some good fashion schools have developed courses for pricing because of how important a factor it is.

Knowing how to cut and sew is good but being able to create a niche for yourself is of paramount importance. For some, anything goes. This explains why certain niches are over saturated and others are left untapped. Identifying the aspect of fashion you’re good at is one way to help you grow. In a standard fashion school, there’s room for specialization.
Some fashion designers are good at what they do but are still not growing because they are unable to take advantage of digital marketing, more specifically, social media marketing. You hear them tagging those who harness the opportunities of social media as unprofessional. They mostly console themselves by assuming that social media only produces likes but not sales. If you’re on this table please stand up before it breaks completely.
Building a successful career in fashion takes time, work, commitment and most importantly a good foundation. What better way to get a solid foundation than in a fashion school.
