    Film correction: Willie Walters students who were interviewed by Alexa in Episode Two of The Fashion Documentary, have recently graduated from the B A Fashion Course at Central Saint Martins, they are not MA students as was stated in the programme

      The most basic thing is to start sewing with basic patterns and clothing after that you could move on to a much higher difficulty such as shirts with modifications, types of sleeves, playing with colors, fabrics, etc

    To be honest, studying fashion isn't a obligation. There are so many designer's that did not sutdy fashion and are doing awesome in the fashion industry. Plus big companies care much more about working experience than sutdying. But I think it's still not wrong to study fashion. It's just not necessary :D

    Pheobe Philo, 1996. Stella McCartney, 1995. John Galliano, 1984. Alexander McQueen, 1992. Talking about how to become a fashion designer today, yet these notable people from CSM all attended from 20 to 30 years ago.
    CSM is known as being the best school of fashion, but it's coasting on a reputation. Thats not to say very talented people aren't still coming out of it; you don't see them on its list, because theres just too many of them. Almost entirely they are international students paying huge fees, then getting unpaid work for years afterward.
    Alexa talks to the MA students, which makes sense because the BA students are in hoards and masses, and the foundation students have no access to machines or equipment.
    In 1980, there were about 80 students in the foundation program; in 2013, there were 400. 70% of the foundation students are international, paying international fees.
    To go through the whole schooling that CSM recommends (foundation, BA and MA) costs $90,000 (international students).
    Shouldn't we investigate ways to become a fashion designer that are effective for the future? Ones that don't cost $18,000 a year (international students) just in tuition? We're in a time where there is no pre-determined place for young designers; we need to carve our own path, because this one isn't nearly as real or legitimate as it seems.

      There are too many fashion designers that are not needed. The need for the more technical jobs are not being advertised and pushed enough. Universities are a big business and will not admit this.

    I get so much inspiration from this series especially because being a fashion fond and not being able to share my interest with someone around me, makes me feel hopefull to see that there's a huge group of people out there that have the same perception of fashion as me. That's my dream. Belonging in an environment where I feel like I actually fit.
