I would LOVE to win this scholarship! Not only for the financial stability that it will provide, (any fashion design student knows that supplies & fabric are not cheap!) but also for the great platform that this contest is set upon.
I have an extreme love for fashion and everything included in the industry and also have a passion for enhancing it. The future for budding designers such as myself will definitely be challenging and competitive when schooling is all over. I think that there sould be a sort of bridge between the school world and the actual industry. Many brands have successfully created their image so well that they would sell millions without a single ad in a magazine. I believe that it is now time for them to pass the torch and support some fresh ideas. Myself and two other friends have come up with an idea to begin a boutique that showcases new & young fashion designers' work in order to promote their business. We hope that once we graduate we will be able to put this plan into motion as our way of giving back to the fashion community while lending a helping hand to others like ourselves. We hope that in time we would be supported by fashion icons, brands and organizations. I hope that one day this idea can take off and be very successful at aiding the launch of new designers into the industry. Maybe even the idea will catch on & spread into many boutiques all over the state and then next, the country! I think it would be an AMAZING step towards a better world of fashion!
So excited for the future of fashion & can't wait to be a part of it! =]
