I'm almost 17, and I'm home schooled, so i take fashion design at a local community college. I already have professional sewing skills, and i can use professional sewing equipment, like sergers, ect.. and i was wondering if this a plus since i have started so much earlier then the average wanna be fashion designer?
Also, what does it take to be a fashion designer? The clothes I make are inspired by the 60's pop art , the 80's, and some vintage styles. I like to make clothes that are really fashionable but wearable too, and i have made some handbags. Is that good enough or should i be more creative?
And where can I buy wholesale fabric and other sewing notions like zippers, buttons, thread, ect.
Any other info would be wonderful!
Alber Elbaz credits the women, who regularly visit his boutique, as being his muses for the Fall 2008 collection. The designer also draws inspiration from his mother who recently passed away. From skirts to blouses to dresses, Elbaz shows true craftsmanship injecting many pieces with pleats. There is even a pleated fur coat! The idea of lines, both vertical and horizontal (think: bold striped dress) is a big theme. It’s almost as if he made pieces from a single thread that continually wrapped around the body. The collection’s color palette was muted and dark, lots of black and pale grey with shots of red and navy. Pants were not as prominent on the runway though the skinny silhouette seems to still reign supreme.
I am planning to become a fashion designer in the future. Is any one a fashion designer or knows somebody who is, and may give me some information on it, ex: how much you get, what courses should you take. etc…
thank you very much, you’re time has been kindly apreciate.

===Welcome To Top Model Prep===
Original Airdate: February 20, 2008

35 girls arrive at “Top Model Prep” where they meet Mr. and Ms. Jay. They shoot a class photo before commencing runway lessons with Ms. Jay, where Lauren is seen as the weakest walker. Next, the girls attend a bonfire where the “Homecoming Queen” is going to be announced. The cheerleaders by the stage are revealed to be contestants from past cycles. Mr. Jay then announces that the finalists will be taken to New York City. Finally, the girls meet Tyra, and casting interviews commence.
In between interviews, a fight breaks out between Shaya and Fatima, but they later make up when the latter reveals that she is a survivor of genital mutilation. Memorable auditions include Stacy Ann’s lap dance, Fatima telling the judges about her circumcision, and Claire’s confession about drinking her own breast milk so her baby can breast feed when she returns home.
After the interviews, the girls are pared down to the final 20, where they participate in a senior class photo shoot and have to do their own hair and make up.
Later in the day, Tyra reveals the final 13. When she calls “Aimee/Amy”, both advance, and Amy offers to change her name to “Amis”, a childhood nickname, to avoid confusion. When the thirteenth girl is chosen, Tyra mentioned that so many girls had potential, and chooses Dominique as the fourteenth and last finalist.

I'm about to go to college in the fall and major in communications at MSU, a largely accredited University. All my life I've wanted to be involed in fashion whether it be writing editorials or being a buyer. Will not majoring in some type of fashion merchadising/journalism/communications degree hinder my chances of getting a fashion orientated job? Or will I be A-OK with a great degree from a major university, not focused around fashion?

===Top Model Makeovers===
Original Airdate: March 5, 2008
-
The girls are taken to Wal-Mart for a CoverGirl make up challenge, which Claire wins. Back at the house, Allison admits her struggle with anorexia, before putting on a Barbie doll show for Fatima and Whitney. Using a dark-skinned doll to represent Fatima, Allison takes a jab at her by saying that she is a “black girl who takes it from the back.”
Later, it is makeover time. Through “Tyra-Vision”, Tyra tells the girls their makeovers. A lot of pain comes with Fatima’s weave, but she ends up loving it. There is general satisfaction among the other girls as well.
The photo shoot is on a yacht with New York City in the background. They meet Elle Macpherson and model her line of lingerie called “Intimates”.
At judging, Lauren shines for her awkwardness that translates into high fashion, and so are Marvita and Aimee. Amis is called third last for not taking direction well. Dominique and Allison, however, are the bottom two, Dominique for her soccer mom look and Allison for her conceited attitude and lackluster photographs. Dominique’s name is called and a bawling Allison is eliminated.
* Bottom two: Allison Kuehn & Dominique Reighard
* Eliminated: Allison Kuehn
* Featured photographer: George Holz
* Special guests: Elle Macpherson, Steven Knoll
* CoverGirl of the Week: Claire Unabia

ANCHOR:
Famous Japanese designers, Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto present their spring/summer 2009 collections at the Paris Fashion Week. Lets take a look.
STORY:
Born of a “colour hunting” expedition into the Amazon rain forest, Issey Miyake’s ready-to-wear collection fell gently on Paris Fashion Week like warm tropical rain.
Miyake and his design team carried 3,000 color samples into the Amazon. They went there to explore the natural colors of the jungle and extracted eight primary colors that are now part of the new collection.
[Issey Miyake, Fashion Designer]:
“We need real materials and real colors, instead of taking things from magazines or Web sites. Nowadays there is so much diversity in this world, but I think we need to get the real things in this way.”
From simple knee-length dresses to bikini combinations topped with sheer over shirts, to light dresses in a variety of styles, the new Miyake collection captures the colors and movements of the tropical forest.
Designer, Yohji Yamamotos presented his new collection in two segments: A series of dark, elegant dresses and ensembles with subtle patterns, paired with flat-soled sneakers, and then flowing white and ivory garments.
The simplicity of the garments, the stately pace of the models, and the soothing music all combined to create a rare sense of tranquility at the show.
