Aspiring Designers?

well I do jewelry design, not clothing. But your stuff is great Court. Keep sketching

I'm a textiles student at the moment and I love it ! I am designing a japanese street fashion outfit and i look forward to every textiles lesson I love designing and wish I could make it big as a designer. !

look for internships! all my major fashion houses have them.

Itrained as a jewellery designer and an engineer and worked in textiles. I'm considering combining the three disciplines.......ummm......

Yeah, internships are suuuper helpful and stuff.

I love designing too haha! And thank you michelle

Has anyone found any really good fashion photography inspiration-y type books? I want to buy 9Heads (drawing book but whatevah), and especially another Art Deco fashion and Nick Knight's book. I loooove Nick Knight and Art Deco <3

I've seen amazing that have books just in photography of inspirational fashion. Just type in fashion into Amazon Books section.

I'd love to become some sort of designer, I've definatly have an un-healthy obsession with clothes and fabric!! I don't know as to how big I'd want to be, which sounds a little wierd. I wouldn't want to be a well known high-end designer type, too much pressure. I wouldn't mind having my own chain of shops with my own branded label of clothing in the high street.

The thing is the only fashion/creative qualification I've got is an Art GCSE. When I went into A-Levels I went into Business, Psychology & Sociology and in my Degree I've gone into Business & Psychology. So I have nothing. I've been thinking about part-time college or short courses when I come out of Uni in the fashion area?

I do kind of regret my degree choice but I can't change it now...

ooh shelia do it

Yeah Michelle, I was thinking Steampunk too...Lol

:O

DEFINATLY do it!! I <3 Steampunk... *drooooools*

Thinking of going back to school for costume design First I have to get through (and into) music school! Still working away on my sewing though! My favorite medium right now is duct tape though I'm nearly finished making my Lady GaGa inspired dress and if I do say so myself, I pulled it out quite nicely! It's quite a fun medium to work with. And Shelia MOST DEFINITELY would love to see some of your steampunk stuff! That is one of my major style inspirations! What styles do you guys like? What celebrities do you take style ideas from? My style inspirations are steampunk/Victorian fashion, Renaissance/ Medieval, 1950s/Rockabilly, and pinups. My favorite style icons are Lady GaGa (obviously, she has such a daring sense of style!) and Zooey Deschanel (because she has an adorable, vintage feel look). Who or what do you guys like?

I adore vintage, victoriana, 50's, punk and medieval.

Some of the links are broken but there is soooooo much on there you will be busy for a while

I adore Victorian, Vintage, Pin-Up, Gothicy sort of stuff.
I love Emilie Autumn's style of dresses, she makes them herself apparently, but they are stunning

I would love to make a lady gaga bubble dress

Hm...I don't get influenced by celebrities all that much...I love Erte (he was a huge designer in the 20s), and Nick Knight's photography, and random photo shoots from Haute Macabre and Twisted Lamb.

And I have an obscenely long wish list of design and fashion photography books, haha.

Also, I am definitely going to college at F.I.T. (www.fitnyc.edu).

I love Emilie Autumn and her style!! I didn't know she made them! That's super cool!
