Hey,
You might want to start off by indicating your keen eye for fashion, the way you see things differently, unlike the commoners. For example, I as a fashion non-enthusiast wont know the difference between two different items of clothing or whatever. You could start with a small engrossing paragragh portraying you at a clothing store being able to figure out the importance or origin of various fashion items and explaining the differences to a critic or cynic at the store who actually happens to think that there are no differences in the items. The message could be that you have a keen eye for spotting and appreciating fashion aesthetics. And end the para saying that this is where you actually realized your true talent for the subject.
I was old enough to work my candidacy for jobs in a variety of haute couture shops and the street was taken to Topshop. This was perfect to develop my sense of fashion, and I was often asked to dress the mannequins in the latest collection of wine
I decided to apply for a degree part-time mode, which begins in October. As you may already know most if not all academic programs require that you make a personal statement of support for your application. I know you are supposed to write about why you chose this course, etc.,
I want to study fashion at university as I know that what I have learnt at college is just scratching the surface of the fashion world
so, when will this site be back up and running so we can post our personal statements?
i'd quite like to put mine up
