I'm really into fashion and thinking about applying to the New York School of Design. I’d love to hear more about what students think of the classes and faculty. Is it a good choice for a design career?
The New York School of Design has a rich history and reputation in the world of design and fashion. Located in the heart of the fashion mecca, it provides an opportunity for its students to be exposed to a practical, hands-on approach to learning, which is quite beneficial in fields like design.
Regarding the faculty, the school has well-experienced professors and scholars who have worked or are currently involved in the industry. This relationship with the industry allows them to provide the students with real-world experience, skills, and knowledge that are quite crucial in the highly competitive field of design.
One added edge of studying in a school located in a city like New York is the industry connections and networking opportunities. You could have opportunities to hold internships, attend industry events, and meet iconic figures in the fashion industry.
As for your career, it very much depends on what you make of the opportunities provided to you. Many alumni from the school have made exciting and successful careers in design. They have successfully launched their own fashion labels, served as creative directors for established brands, or are working as freelance designers.
However, remember that the pathway to a successful design career requires both talent and hard work. The school can provide you with the tools, education, and opportunities, but it will fall squarely on your shoulders to execute and manifest your dreams into a successful career.
