As a teenager who was born and raised in New York City, Iloved going down town to shop. Seeing all of the flashy clothes and all of the different lights gave me a certain thrill, especially around the holidays when 5th avenue comes alive. Fashion has always come naturally to me even as a child. My mom would ask me to look at her clothes before she left to make sure she looked good and my big sister, still to this day, tries to take my clothes from me. She needs to get her own. I’ve also been sketching outfits for some time now and I think with the help I receive from FIT I will be able to develop a portfolio.
My life wouldn’t be complete without fashion, and majoring in fashion merchandising management would help me follow my passion. With this degree I can pursue a career as a fashion designer, which is one of my dreams, but if that doesn’t work out I can become a fashion buyer, editor or consultant. This major opens up many possibilities. The fashion industry is a tough industry to get into and going to FIT and earning my degree in this field will give me a chance in this hard world.
