One thing I will tell new designers, coming from me, I have been in the industry for 10 years plus without attending any of the schools listed above. You do not need to, in order to become successful, it all about who you know, keep your options opens, sign up with head hunters, and if you want to always have a job go into “computer aided design” this is where you create prints for garments, in illustrator, photoshop, etc... the pay is great. This is a cut throat industry and good luck!
what platforms do you recommend ?
Do you know of any head hunters in LA?
Honestly, since it is about who you know, which I personally have expected and known. The best thing to ALSO do is make sure you can easily speak to anyone and not a introvert like many people, so being able to network at the right time is the perfect example of this
Do you have to know how to sew to get into a fashion school. I just got into fashion and designing and I’m just wondering do u have to know how to sew?
You're a big inspiration!
I’m 13 and my mind is SET on FIT. I’ve already toured it and got the THICC book of information. i’m so passionate about my designs and once I share them, I’m sure I can become successful. You make me feel like I can achieve my goal.
Heyyy I’m 13 as well, and I want to educate myself more on fashion, how much do you know about fashion? I’d love to get started on my research and would want a little piece of advice on where to begin at....
Karen look online and in books, start creating ur own designs and u definitely need to learn how to sew. i think the key to success is being different so try to make the impossible possible. that’s how i like to do it. if u don’t know how to style, look up basic videos on youtube. hope this helped!! dm me on insta @amelia.corazon if u need any more help
Hi im 14, we are pretty close in age.
I love fashion too and I also really want to go to FIT, but I am very bad at drawing like veryy bad, do you have any tips or things I can fo to improve or learn how to sketch? Also if you know how to sew, where did you learn? Are you self taught? I am currently learning how to sew and I can say that it is a bit hard but I will get there eventually. Any other tips please?? I would love to hear some things from people my age who like the same things as me😊😊
Also do you have like any blogs or accounts where you show your work?
Kiara Vaso i’m actually 14 now too! my b day is in march. i’m not self taught, my grandma teaches me. i don’t have any accounts showing my work no. i great way to promote ur work is in person! wear ur clothes, style them, walk around the city. and when people ask where u got stuff, h say u made it! it’s so fun to see the look on their faces, especially when ur young. if u want to improve your drawing skill for fashion design, i recommend first getting down a signature model that carry’s the same body type throughout ur collection. once u just get down the model, work on textures. look up “how to draw denim” or “how to draw satin” and practice. then perspective plays a big role, u need to be able to draw those little wrinkles and u need to have ur jeans not look cartoonish. i learned from studying others’ work on Pinterest. and last, speed. it’ll come naturally after u master ur style of drawing that ur comfortable with. a tip i have for u is to always shoot for the highest rather than just getting a piece done. i always use a french seam in my clothes because it doesn’t show any raw hems. i’m really glad u want to go to fit! i wish u the greatest of luck!
Amelia Corazon Thanks you so much for your advice, i rlly appreciate it. I am going to do what you told me. Once again thanks a lot and I rlly hope u get into ur dream school😊
Omg so helpful ! I’m making a portfolio and it makes me so much less worried to see a student’s portfolio
3:54 this is where it begins
Unicorn Squad lmao 🤣 thanks
Thank you
😂😂😂😂😂 thank youuu
I’ve been really struggling with my art and seeing your art style and that the fashion sketches don’t all have to look the same has definitely helped me
i have been waiting for a video like this for the longest time ever!!!! thank you so much! fit is my dream school and i am so so happy for you! can’t wait to see more college videos. you came up on my recommendations and now i’m 100% subscribing i love your content. THANK YOU!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was extremely helpful, thank you so much for showing so much detail :)
thank you so much this video has helped me a lot to really understand what colleges are expecting in their portfolio!!!
Flamenco dress is AWESOME!
Love your video! Very helpful. Look forward to seeing more.
Your video is super helpful thank you!
I just found your channel and I love your creativity! Such beautiful creations!
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU!!
Thanks so much this helped a lot !!!! Very useful video ❤️❤️❤️
So helpful, so detailed, thank you for the vid!
thanks for showing how slideroom works a bit, it was really helpful, congrats!
so helpful thank uuu!!
This was sooo helpful thank you !
Super helpful! i've been planning to get an MFA degree from parsons just to give myself some tough competition but was worried whether i'd be able to get in or not. Even though your portfolio was for a foundation year, it helped lessen my worries a little.
this was incredibly helpful thank you so much
I really want go to the parsons and your video is very helpful .Thank you very much.❤️
No portfolio-making videos are good but you excellent. Idk how many times I have watched this.
Oh yay finally someone who's from Spain too 🙂🌷
Hey Natalia, how's the experience so far studying fashion design and what are the materials needed for classes? Any advices as well? How's the school culture like? Are your classmates nice?
guys, give me pls information about schools, which can give full scholarship for international student in fashion design
Me too please share any information university that give full scholarships for international students in fashion design thank you 🙂
@@blissvxnilla yeah me too kindly inform me once you get a school thankyou
Me too. Pls inform me
girl, idk where you are from but in the united states almost nothing will get you a full ride to any school.
Hey Natalia!! I love your work you inspire me to be more creative so thanks for that😉
Also I wanted to ask you are SAT necessary for SCAD??
Thanks this was very helpful
Hi! I adore your pieces they are so pretty! I hope you can answer a few of my questions: Where did you get the materials to sew? How did you learn to sew? What sewing machine do you have?
You are so beautiful! 😍 Thank you so much for the video!
Hi, this video was very useful to me as i was applying in parsons. I just had one inquiry that they have mentioned to upload the process work along with collection images.
So, will i have to upload the art work images along with this images in slide room itself ?
Love this video, it is way more detailed than others you can find. By the way, your designs are amazing and I admire deeply where your inspiration comes from. I am planning to apply to pretty much all of the schools you mentioned and I have a few questions! As far as I have seen, no one really showcases Men's Fashion, are you allowed to, would you personally recommend it? You see to be truly knowledgeable about sewing, is your knowledge self-taught, or are you taking Fashion Design classes? Will the schools care about other forms of art if you are applying for a specific major? (if you go undecided, can you pretty much submit all you have art-wise)
I hope all these comment get to you and you can tell me what you think :) Congrats on all of your acceptances!
Thank you!!! I think showcasing men’s fashion would be SO good. Nobody ever thinks of doing so, therefore you’d stand out A LOT. Granted, you should also show regular women’s fashion too but I don’t see how men’s could be a bad idea! As far as my sewing skills and whatnot, I take sewing classes at my school so I was definitely not self-taught, just lots of years of practice! As far as other forms of art, go for it! Most art schools prefer that! Except for FIT, their requirements are a lot more strict, but I know that when I met with Parsons, Pratt, and SCAD, they recommended showing off multiple art mediums to show a range. Hope this helped! And good luck!!
Menswear is a separate major

Where did you get the fabric swatches for your drawings? Was there a specific website you went on?
Pinkpanda4 you can get it from any fabric store.
I love all of the items you showed in your portfolios! You really have a talent for sewing and I admire that! Have you decided where you're going to attend? Last year I was accepted to SCAD and I was waitlisted for PRATT, but I haven't decided on a fashion school yet. I thinking about LIM college so I can focus on the business side of fashion but I'm not sure what I want to do.
Thank you! I’m going to FIT this fall!
Cool so I’m like 13 but I already know that fashion is Walmart I want to do stories like this are inspireing
@@NataliaTrevinoAmarohey Natalia,can you dive a little deeper in your portfolio. I want to know your process.Thank you
so so helpful
Hi loved the video ♡ I’m from india I am doing fashion designing my sketching good and I don’t enjoy sewing that much I’ll be graduate in 2020 I wanna apply in FIT which courses should I get in since you are in college you might help me ♡ xx
Gosh I admire you so much
I have never designed a single piece in my life but want to, I have styled over a thousand looks though and still have the visuals I put together for those stylings. I'm able to construct my own ideas for fashion based on those stylings and fairly easily (at least in my mind, but I'm down for the tussle with production) so I'm wondering can I send in some of those looks to the school in Paris I'm applying for. The looks embody soul from low-end to high-end streetwear, couture, trends both followed and broken. Im just not sure if that would be enough to be considered for such a school, if you have any feedback on how I can improve my portfolio that would be a great help.
thankyou so much
Thank you so much
I wanna go to a fashion school but I dont know how to sew, is it possible to get in without knowing it
Yes u can they will teach u how to sew in the school so if u can sew a bit u can go in a fashion school
You can refer to NIFT college
Pragati Verma I emailed parsons and they said that I don’t need to know how to sew to get into fashion program
Hi, what software did u use for you portfolio? , also how did u get the portfolio requirements?
This video was very helpful
I have a question regarding the ACT and the SAT. Will i have to take one of those or both in order to apply to the school as an international student?
Why is no one talking about the cana dress, it's SO SO SO ORIGINAL AND BEAUTIFUL ❤️
What plat form do you use to upload your portfolios?
Did you sew these pieces yourself? (the pictures for parsons). Your video is awesome!
Yes I sewed everything in all my portfolio
No shade or anything but constructive criticism but in this vid in the beginning you take a long time to get to the part
Thanks alot Natalia ❤ I'm from IRAN 😍 I love fashion , colors , fabric , design , New York . US very expensive for us. I hope to be there one day :)
Go to netherlands!
thank you
i’m a sophomore in high school now and i really love fashion and want to do that as a career and i just need to work on a portfolio and i want to start doing it soon so i was just wondering what website did you use to create your portfolio because i thought yours looked great!!
All portfolios are submitted through slideroom! Each college sends you a link to their own slide room page where you submit!
H
@@NataliaTrevinoAmaro???
Molly you should probably put all your stuff in a google drive folder ; and then when its time to apply to college you have everything somewhere already ; thankfully I go to a fashion design high school so I was taught to do this since my freshman year so that’s what I’d suggest you do ; and when it’s time to apply for college ; like she said you’ll get a email from them showing you where to go or for Parsons and a lot of other design schools ; the link will be on the common app
when you send your portfolio to parsons, dia u apply for Fashion Design(BFA) or Fashion Design(AAS)? cause I’m really confused in which to apply. And i love your designs ❤️
I don’t actually remember but I think BFA
This was very helpful! I am applying to these schools, but I was wondering if you need to sew your projects to get into these schools? I know FIT requires you to make/sew your sketches but do the other schools?
Usually yes! If you’re trying to get into the top schools, it’s important to already have a background in sewing
Nah I got into parsons and I did not sew anything it was all fashion illustrations you are goof
Good*
How long do these portfolios take to create? Is there a limit to how long ago you created the designs/finished product?
Are they standard questions or different for each, how long they give time to make a portfolio?
So for you to have a portfolio, os it necessary to be clothes that you’ve made , or it can be just the sketches from the look?
Hi Natalia, amazing video you've got. I have applied to several fashion schools and i'm required to submit a portfolio. I have few of my sketches that can pass for this and some of my sewing projects but my challenge is what software can i use to put all of these together?? Can't seem to find anybody talking about it.
Have you seen any software application to use? Please kindly share thanks
did you have to make the clothing items for the portfolios??
Her: I only got a 1340 it’s not like I did that well
Me with my 1040: 👁👄👁
Good college for good carrier out this, Can you tell me, Is pratt Ok to choose?
ayy!!! i go to parsons we should collab one day:,))
I am commercial too but I believe I am more advanced in designing than in sewing.
I know I’m a bit late, but is this really it? this is all that’s required for a portfolio for an application?
I’m from Denmark, so I don’t know a lot about these schools. In Denmark, If you apply for the royal academy of design, you are given a theme (ex: change, focus or some other buzzword), and from there they want you to make a 20 page (A3) paper on your creative design process. They’re barely care if you can draw or sew. They want to see a documented creative process. That means mind maps, reference fotos, moodboards, colour stories, narrowing down ideas and so on. For this reason, a lot of good “artists” who can sew and draw are rejected by the school.
I’m not seeing any of that here. Have I missed something? or is the application process just that different
Do u do portfolio for every school or can you just send the same one?
Wait I'm at the beginning of the video I want to get into a fashion school, but like what I don't understand is if you have to create your own stuff with like your own fabric. Or like you put pieces together and style them together?
If you’re applying to fashion design, you have to DESIGN your own clothes and make them. Putting pieces together would be a fashion STYLIST, not designer.
Did you ever consider FIDM in California for fashion design? It seems that a lot of design students gravitate more towards the east coast schools and I'm just curious why.
No I didn’t! Their program isn’t as good as the east coast ones and I’m just not a California type of person hahaha definitely more of a New York girl
Hi! I'm applying for Fashion Design and I was just wondering if you feel it's necessary to have a portfolio consisting of pieces of clothing? I'm not the best at sewing so I was planning to submit more art-based pieces (drawings, paintings, etc) rather than clothing I created. Would really appreciate a response! Thanks
Most schools require both sewing and drawings, it just depends! Read the requirements on their websites
So I don’t to put need heads on the sketches
do you need to go to a fashion school/collage to get into fashion universities or you can get into a fashion university by doing A levels
I have a question. Did you stitch the outfits together or have someone else do it for you but with your designs?
I did it all myself, it would be cheating if someone else did it for you.
This is very helpful for me ,am 18just finished school but I am really confused on where to start on my fashion
career ......can you please help me
What year did you take your SAT? When I took mine in 2013 I got a 1660 and the max was 2400.
I took it in 2017 I think! The max was 1600 and I got a 1340
For all the schools, do you have to have sewn pieces and know how to sew well? Or can you just do sketches?
You have to knew how to sew and have sewn pieces
I love your videos I have a question did you do everything in high school to get you into fashion and did they show you how to use things like the sewing machine and other things . I go to high school and I have a class that taught you how to use a sewing machine but they show use how but not much I was wondering if I go to college as a fashion designer would they teach you from the basic things from a fashion designer
They do teach you the basics but very quickly because they expect you to know it already!
Thank you 😊
did you sew all these dresses? Is it important to know how to sew for undergrad courses? Im a high school student and I've got a couple of designs as sketches but i struggle with sewing
Yes I sewed everything myself and yes it is important to know how to sew! You have to send in a portfolio of stuff you’ve sewed so you have to know how to
Does this process the same for MFA design?
It was really helpful and can u suggest me some unis that give scholarships
Hello, really like your video, such a helpfull one I have questions Sweetie, 1- based on the date of this one you probably now are taking classes there So, how is the thing I mean the teachers, the classes what about knowing your grades, can you choose your teachers??? also, I know you said they are not known for giving scholarchips but it's possible anyways??? talking about FIT. I wanna go there and I dont live in the U.S. just trying to get everything done. Hope you can help.
ALSO THE MOST IMPORTAT... how much time you had to wait for the answer of all the schools since you sent your portfolios
I’ll be making a Q&A video soon! Send me some questions on my Instagram! It’ll be up soon❤️
If I want to become a fashion stylist woul I go to a fashion university?
Anybody know colleges for both fashion and business ?
did you apply as an international student?
Could you please clarify my doubt, I'm an Indian , I just wanted to know how international students should send their portfolios. Like a digital one or the binded one(physical one) is to be mailed.
All portfolios are sent in digitally! They don’t accept physical ones anymore!
Hey hello... Even i was searching for someone frm same country☺️... Well i hav got lotz f questions
1-am a graduate in engineering can i apply for FIT and parsons
2-can i have the tution fee informations if u know
3-do we need to have basic stitchinv ideas for applying these unis?
Will be glad to see ur response
Could you please tell your age and did you apply for all these schools after high school or went to some kind of training centre? Please replyyyy
I’m 19 but I was 18 when I applied and I applied during my senior year of high school.
Natalia Trevino Amaro do you think they will allow a 17 year old to apply (FIT) because I was entered at school early so I will be graduating high school at 17
Do we have to stitch those dresses fir portfolio. What if we don't know how to stitch. Please reply l am very confused.
Yes, you have to sew every piece you put in your portfolio
I know its a bit late but pls replyyy😕❤️
Is the process of application different if you are an international student? I live in Australia to be specific 😊
I think the application is the same!!! The only difference might be visa requirements?? Not really sure though!
Natalia Trevino Amaro Thank you❤️
How to get scholarships for international students
Did you actually sew all of those dresses ?
Hahah yes, 100%
Hi natali i have one question :can i get scholarship in fashion colleges with low GPA but high SAT score; plssss answer my question
hello yall, I just want some advice. I'm in Pre-Med{Medical Academy} but I'm still confused between Medical Academy and Fashion Designer. I don't like Medical im just in it because my parents want me to be a Pharmacist but they don't notice that love Fashion and so creative I want to tell them but I don't know how to come out with this because I know they gonna be so mad.
Going to a good fashion college like FIT can guarantee you a job after graduating. It’s not a “starving artist” kind of deal. Just do your research and present it like that! Best of luck!!
You definitely do NOT want to spend the rest of your life doing something you do not like doing. You will regret not coming out and saying you love fashion because in the long run, it won't make you happy.
Hello Honestly I’m telling you this right now ( 33 yr old woman with my BFA in fashion) do not go into this field unless you plan on working for yourself later down the road. I have designed for Walmart, Macy’s, Victoria Secret, the list goes on, 10 years plus in the industry, it’s hell and all about who know who. I am currently going into the medical field and still work in the fashion industry working for myself, but I will say this again, do not go in this field, it’s nuts!!!! Going to FIT does not hold a job for you, I know many who have went there and changed careers.
When did you know you wanted to major in this?
It’s been a life-long dream of mine ever since I was 5! I just wasn’t confident about it until sophomore year in high school when I got more into sewing and whatnot!
I never made any dress and I only have sketches and drawings. Do you think I still have a chance to pass?
You have to have sewn portfolio pieces to be able to get in
What does uni require??????
Did u make all of the outfits?
Yes
so what if you really try and have a 1.6-2.5
Thanks a lot. For once UA-cam suggested something useful lol
How could you learn to sew all this before getting into fashion school?
Lots of practice!
Did you make your own patterns or did you use commercial ones?
Mostly commercial but I did make my own for some of my work!!
Natalia Trevino Amaro Thank you so much! Do you think only using commercial is okay? You mentioned Parsons is more 'art' what would you describe FIT and Pratt as? I'm planning on applying to those schools, SAIC and CCC this year and I'm stressing out. This was so much help!
LovelyHope i am still in the application process, but I find the best combo (for me) is modifying and mixing commercial patterns. It shows creative thinking and some technical skill without having to master a totally new skill just for your portfolio.
what's a commercial pattern
emmi m it is a pattern produced by a major (commercial) company. So these would be Simplicity, Maccall, Vogue, Burda, etc.
Did u make all of the dresses yourself?
Yes
This is amazing! JESUS loves y’all! GOD bless y’all! John 3:16
Looking at everyone talk
About in the comments to go to the same dream school as I want to go, makes me feel threatened and makes everyone look like a enemy because they potentially take my success from going to that school.
ItzDawn not our fault if we get in over you tho, it means we’re better
B r u h
Just try your best. There's no way you can just go to the college and be the only one there, you'll have classmates. Think of them as potential future buisness partners, not enemies.
Nice :p
I'm about to be a senior ('19) and no way I can fix my GPA
Go to community college, it is a great start ! You can make it look like highschool never happened.
