</p>

HOW CAN I BECOME A FASHION DESIGNER? WHAT SHOULD WE START TO BEGIN WITH? (21 YEARS OLD, MALE) 

I SUGGEST LEARNING HOW TO MAKE CLOTHES. 

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR WHEN I GO FOR A JOB INTERVIEW? IS IT NOT GOOD TO WEAR MY FAVORITE OUTFIT THAN SOMETHING THAT SUITS THE BRAND IMAGE OF THE COMPANY I AM APPLYING TO? (19 YEARS OLD, MALE) 

AS AN EMPLOYER, I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT YOUR PERSONAL STYLE IS. IT'S GOING TO BE REVEALED AT SOME POINT ANYWAY, SO THE SOONER THE BETTER FOR BOTH OF US. 

MANY DESIGNERS ARE FROM A GOOD FAMILY. BUT I AM NOT RICH NOR A CITY-DWELLER, AND IT IS HARD TO GET A GOOD EDUCATION. HOW CAN I BREAK THROUGH THE CIRCUMSTANCES TO BE A DESIGNER? (20 YEARS OLD, FEMALE) 

IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME TO SEE THAT AS A DETRIMENT. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THAT ATTITUDE, MAYBE IT ISN'T FOR YOU. 

HOW CAN I GET A JOB OR BECOME AN INTERN FOR INTERNATIONAL FASHION BRANDS? IS THERE ANY QUALIFICATION I SHOULD HAVE? (18 YEARS OLD, MALE) 

QUIET EFFICIENCY.
