3/6/2018 1 Comment Time To Graduate!!!Ok let's recap. I'm about to graduate from The New York Institute of Art and Design, after over a year in school. I was accepted into Parsons the New school and I'm proud! It's the #1 undergraduate fashion program in the US and #2 in the world! My last unit in my current school mentioned several schools to advance to, and this was one! No clue if they'd have accepted my application had I not been enrolled at The New York Institute of Art and Design. All I know is I'm excited and grateful. It's seriously been a challenge being enrolled in fashion school, for me. I really dislike modern fashion. I have ABSOLUTELY no plans to style anyone in modern fashion. This is something I've tried hard to explain to my instructors. Yes, I may be scoring all A's, which truly means a lot to ME. Sure anyone can graduate with B's and C's, and no one will ever know, but them and the instructors. That's all fine and dandy, but modern fashion or not, I'm unhappy with anything bellow an A. Thing is, I'm enrolled in a personal stylist course. I have no intentions of applying for a job as a modern fashion consultant, or modern personal stylist, that's #1. #2, I have no intentions to advertise as a modern fashion consultant or modern personal stylist. Independent, on staff at a department store, catering to the stars, movie sets, photo shoots, etc. Nothing I'd ever be interested in will ever have to do with modern fashion. So there's the challenge because the entire course, minus one unit has been about modern fashion, and fashion fundamentals. That's why I enrolled, to learn fashion history and fundamentals of fashion. Knowledge is key. The other challenge has been accepting my instructors feedback and realizing it was based upon modern fashion, and their personal opinions and taste. Just like landing a magazine cover. Mag owners will take apart your images detail by detail, noticing every flaw, then it also becomes their personal opinions and taste. There are modern fashion rules I don't agree with, where as most I actually do agree with. It's extremely difficult to have passion and go the extra mile when I hate modern fashion. To score an A, many A pluses is extraordinary. To think of all I've been thru emotionally with my 1st fashion school, and the thought if another year learning more about modern fashion, it's not exactly motivating. Yet, somehow I managed and was motivated over the past year, to graduate. I do look forward to attending and graduating from Parsons the New school. Looks like I'll graduate early 2019. I'm sure anyone who knows me, can see how busy I am, how much I've produced in the past year and that was with school, and scoring high marks! I could stop now, once I graduate. However I will not! I love learning. And the fact of the matter is education, creditableity, and degrees actually matter, and can most definitely increase your value and worth, in professional career fields. The more knowledge, the more skill, equals more money and more opportunities! To become the definition of a specialist or an expert me and going above and beyond being the definition of a professional. You have to have extensive training and knowledge, plus experience and very high skills, in your field. That's why modern fashion school has be wonderful at teaching me fashion fundamentals and fashion history. But I've gained some serious knowledge on pinup history and current events, the fundamentals of pinup and vintage, as well as a ton of experience. I'm trying to be an actual vintage styling expert, not just pinup.
