Fashion Designer

I want to be a fashion designer- which books should I start reading/studying to really understand fashion?

For a long time now I’ve wanted to be a fashion designer, or stylist. I already read fashion magazines, but they don’t provide much in the way of history, etc. Which books would you suggest to a teenager who wanted to understand the history and ways of fashion and fashion design?

I wanted to become a fashion designer, but after I did some research, I realized about 1% out of 99 make it ANYWHERE. They usually try and start there own clothing line which fails, or start there own botique that fails. Most just end up at a cash register in Victoria’s Secret for 20 years untill they realize they arent going anywhere and change there career. I would advise you NOT to go into this industry unless you are REMARKABLY talented. There ARE lot of talenented people, but you have to be a fashion genius to get anywhere. If you still like fashion, makeup, etc. find a niche market in something and creat your own new trend or product. Or just become a makeup artist.

I’m sorry to slap you so hard in the face, but I know you will regret it if you become a fashion designer.

Good Luck!
