#fashion school
Based on your own experience, what are the top 10 things an aspiring fashion designer should carry with them at all times especially for those going to fashion school?
I’m thinking of doing an animated info graphic about the subject. I’m doing my own research of course but I’d like to hear your own take on it. Credits go to all who wish to share. I hope you guys can spare a minute or two to list some.

“With the Fashion Show right around the corner, we are thrilled to showcase a lineup of exceptional designers whose collections perfectly present the marriage of hand and machine,” Ungless said. “This year’s show features 3D printed accessories, digitally printed fabrics alongside hand embroidery, hand-printed textiles, and more exciting collaborations that truly are a testament to tremendous imaginations and craftsmanship of our designers.”
