Do You Need To Go To College To Be A Fashion Stylist?

 

Here are the top 5 things to consider when thinking about getting a degree in the fashion industry.

  • Earn Education & Experience Together

    • In college, you will be able to gain hands-on experience and a concentrated education at the same time, which is super important. During the summers while you're in college you can do internships to give you experience in certain fields.

    • Tip: Assisting a professional stylist will help you build your portfolio BEFORE you graduate.

  • Get Equipped for Any Fashion Career

    • Earning a degree will equip you to work in any area in the fashion industry. Most fashion degree programs will give you an understanding of all major areas within the fashion industry. 

      • Tip: When choosing a degree program, choose one that offers a mix of design and business.

  • Earn Credibility in the Industry Before You Enter the Industry

    • The fashion industry is a very competitive field and going in with years of education and internships will help you a lot.

  • Tuition

    • College can be expensive, especially at fashion institutions. It is not required that you go to a fashion school to be successful in the industry. 

  • Gain Experience While Sustaining Yourself

    • If you decide not to attend college then chances are you will have to work and try to gain experience at the same time.

  • What Are Some Alternatives?

    • Certificate programs and Associate degrees at a local community college are very helpful alternatives. Although many associates degree programs do not have a fashion degree option they do offer business degrees. Fashion is very creative and is very business-oriented.
