[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to public HS in CA, and the people I knew who wanted to go into the fashion businesses went to FIDM. I don't know anyone who was interested in that industry who went to a public univ out there.[/quote]

Right, most schools I find are private, but I was hoping for public as we are a low income family so would get a nice break on FAFSA but not CSS because of my ex. It’s bad enough that my kid wants a rich people major, I don’t want to pay for it [/quote]

North Carolina State University major in Textiles. The department is fabulous and they are great at career development. Many in the fashion industry get a Masters there as well.

Thank me when they graduate and have a job. They will.

Another route is to do supply chain as a major and then move into merchandising, planning or forecasting for a clothing company.

One of mine did that they have a great career and have worked for companies like VF (which owns The NorthFace, Wrangler and others etc), they have also worked for clothing startups as well and snowboard clothing companies like Burton.

Right, but we are in CA so not sure it will be cheap!
Also DS is so far set on fashion design specifically (he may pivot once he is more grounded in reality)

[/quote]

You've gotten some good ideas here!

Question: Does he already know how to sew? Have design skills / existing portfolio? 
[/quote]

He is taking a fashion design elective so there’s a barebones portfolio, yes. His sewing skills are weak and this will always be his weakness imho. I like his croquis though, and the quality of his sketches overall
