NYC Fashion Schools & Their Honors

Fashion Week in New York is the most busiest week for designers all over the world. Its their center stage to show what are their upcoming designs and also see what other designers have to offer. The youngsters graduating from Fashion Schools like Parsons The New School for Design, Fashion Institute of New York and others are preparing for their entrance into a big world of haute couture by viewing the collections of their successors.

Not everybody was lucky enough to enter the world of fashion without a degree, they had to enter one of the most demanding fashion schools of the world, most located in NYC. Some of the Alumni graduates of these fashion schools are Donna Karen, Narcisco Rodriguez, Calvin Klein & Michael Kors. Years of designing, competing and fighting for the number one spot is not exactly the same as being on hit series Project Runway with other designers who are there to win a chance to showcase their collections during New York's Fashion Week. This is TV presented show which only gives you a chance among small group of people to be part of the fashion extravaganza.

Besides the competition in the overall industry, fashion schools create their own field for competing between each other. Two major competitors are Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology. They have created their own "Project Runway" called Fusion 2009 which they celebrated 10 year anniversary this year. As a result of showing their collections to the world, a lot of models & designers who have participated in the show, have been fortunate to appear on TV, cover pages of magazines and also debuted their collections during Fashion Week in New York. Some of them were unique pieces created by talented students who became a great addition to some of the famous designer's teams. A couple of graduates have also signed selling contracts with retail powerhouse Bloomingdales.

It is a great example of how to reach stardom which some of our famous designers have reached and enjoying for years now. It definitely takes a talent , desire to work hard & skill to present a piece of clothing in the way others will accept it. And if you do possess all three, you have a great path ahead of you & you will evetually become part of the Honors.
