Its a pretty simple task... I call it being suited and booted. Do your hair and your make up. Make sure you shave your legs and brush your teeth. Alot has to do with what you wear. If you think that the outfit is cute chances are it is.

Check this web site out.\n\nhttp://www.careertrainingdirectory.com/fashion/index.html\n\nhttp://canada.edu-degrees.com/\n\nDon't think High school students can apply. Perhaps a school in Manhattan might specialize in this at the high school level. That's the only thing I can think of.

There really is no "best school." In the end, the majority of schools that offer fashion will have enough opportunities for you to achieve and it is up to YOU to make it happen. Pick the school that best fits you and your particular interests.\n\nHowever, schools that will have the most resources will be located in NYC or LA. Try FIT in New York. It is a state school so the tuition is extremely affordable, even if you are an out of state student. They have an international reputation for high quality programs in fashion. In fact, Calvin Klein is a past graduate of the school.\n\nhttp://www.petersons.com is a good resource in finding programs. \n\nHappy hunting.

The best schools for fashion design in the US are the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, and Parson's School of Design (part of the New School for Social Research), also in NYC. \n\nThere are some other good fashion design colleges out there, but if you got into one of these two, you'll be amazed at the doors that are opened for you, once you graduate.\n\nThe thing is, fashion design is an extremely competitive field. Not only do you need one heck of a fabulous portfolio, but you should also come out of school with relevant work experience and contacts. FIT and Parsons will give you all that. \n\nIf you go to a secondary school, if you have an extremely strong portfolio, you will probably get a job - it will just be easier if you're coming out of FIT or Parsons.

Qualifications between model and designer are very different. The things you must have in common in both professions is patience, perseverance and connections!

I just answered a question similar to this one, You can find a plenty of sources on line however, if you have considered on line business or catalogers that sells clothes and lingerie you might be a step close to reach your goal in success, I had a job once as an intern with the top selling catalogs company in Germany (Otto). It was a great experience to me as I was responsible for that area sales and marketing.I have learned so many important things including selling and buying techniques and how it is important for a person to understand the consumer requirements.\nThere are two key needs here:\n\nThe first is to build up a detailed profile of your client -their personality, what they do and don't like, the social circle in which they mix and the sort of clothes in which they feel comfortable.\n\nThe other is a detailed knowledge of fashion. Buy all the magazines and keep in touch with what is in and what is out for each season.\n\nBy combining these two and appearing knowledgeable, then offer some free consultations to friends and family. Ask them to recommend you and by word of mouth you should start to get some paid business.

You have to have the relevant education and a good experience. And you have to be professional in your appearance too (clothes, hair...).\n\nThe more experience you gain, the easier you will get hired in future jobs \n\n(certainly do not give them gifts.. etc)

Have you look at Bravo's Project Runway?  Maybe that's a start, look at the bios of the cast and see how they broke into the industry.  Also go on line to locate design schools, if near, go to the school and look for message boards perhaps advertising for help as apprentice, contact a master taylor your local cleaners or alteration center, or sponsor/ participate by during gratis fashion shows for local community organizations, schools etc..  All just a fews

Start looking at the fashion spreads in the better local/regional magazines, and see the names of the local photographers. From there, call them directly and ask them, "when you need talent for a shoot, who do you call ...." Do this until you hear the same names of agencies again and again. From there, you know who to call ...

Surf the web for fashion themed sites that you think are well designed.  The web designer usually puts a link to his business way at the bottom of the page so others can contact them.

I am a licensed cosmetologists and i want you to know you have to have 1500 hours of schooling. It depends on you and your school as to how long it would take to graduate. There are some that are more prestigous than others. And it depends on if you are working for someone or if you are self employed as to how much you will make. And also, if you are self employed, it depends on if you live in the country or city as to how much you make. There are many positive and negative things about being a hairstylist. One thing negative that comes to mind is that if you aren't very patient with people then this might not be meant for you. Because some people gripe about everything and never are satisfied. Some people never get to their appointment on time which messes up the other clients when they are on time. Positive things are that you learn the latest in styles and fashions. You get to meet new people. You make great money. It's a profession that is very important. Most people in the world will want some type of service whether it be manicure, pedicure, hair cut, perm, relaxer, highlights, color, bleach, wax job on facial hair, etc. It isn't a job that just anyone can have. You have to be gifted to entertain people and give them the desired look that they are wanting you to achieve. You have to be good with getting along with people. Being patient with them. Listening to what they want. Giving them advice. Loving them. Treating them great. Knowing what style complements them. Working on your feet all day. And working hard. Best wishes!

A Day in the Life \nEver wonder what Giorgio Armani, Betsey Johnson, Donna Karan, and Ralph Lauren do all the time? Work! Few other professions depend so much on keeping on top of fickle popular opinion and watching what competitors produce. The life of a designer is intimately linked to tastes and sensibilities that change at a moment’s notice, and he or she must be able to capitalize on or—even better—influence those opinions. Designers reflect society’s sensibilities through clothing design. “You have to know just about everything that’s been done before so that you can recognize it when it becomes popular again,” wrote one respondent. Fashion designers are involved in every phase of designing, showing, and producing all types of clothing, from bathing suits to evening gowns. Those with talent, vision, determination, and ambition can succeed in this difficult, demanding, and highly competitive industry. Fashion design can be more glamorous than a 1940s Hollywood musical or drearier than a bank statement, but it’s always taxing. A designer’s day includes reading current fashion magazines, newspapers, and other media that reflect current trends and tastes. He or she looks at materials, attends fashion shows, and works with other designers on projects. A designer should be able to communicate his or her philosophy, vision, and capabilities clearly and comprehensively through sketches, discussions, and, occasionally, samples. No matter what his or her personal style is, a designer must produce a creative, exciting, and profitable product line. As in most professions that produce superstars, it is easy for a competent but otherwise unremarkable designer to wallow in obscurity, designing small pieces of collections, generic lines (the plain white boxer short, for example), or specialties (cuffs, ruffles, etc.). The personality that raises itself above this level must be as large as the vision of the designer; perhaps that’s why the word “crazy” showed up in more than 75 percent of our surveys as a plus in fashion design.\n\n \nPaying Your Dues \nPeople entering the field should have a good eye for color, style, and shape, an ability to sketch, and some formal preparation in design. An excellent portfolio is a must for the job search. A two- or four-year degree in fashion design is helpful, as is knowledge of textiles and a familiarity with the quirks of a variety of fabrics, but no formal certification is required. Candidates should have a working knowledge of business and marketing. The hours are long for a fashion designer, and the initial pay is very limited. This is one of those hit-or-miss occupations where beginners work as someone’s assistant until, when they can muster up enough confidence in their abilities and sell that confidence to their superiors, they design a few pieces themselves. The superstar rise is an unlikely event, but it happens. Based on the number of “international star designers” in the last 10 years and the number of people who have entered the profession, the estimated odds of becoming an internationally famous designer are roughly 160,000:1.\n\n \nAssociated Careers \nFashion designers who become unhappy with the lifestyle (low pay, long hours, hard work, low chance of advancement) leave the field to do a variety of things. Some of them use their color and design skills to become interior designers, graphic designers, or fashion consultants. More than one quarter of the people who leave remain in the clothing industry, either on the production end or on the institutional buying end. Another 10 percent of them enter the advertising or promotions industry.

She had to take a modeling class.  I took a modeling class that lasted about 6 months.  You learn and sharpen you "walking" skills and the ways of the runway.  There is an etiquette they must follow and elements they must adjust to (like lights). Make up and style are also part of the curriculum.
