時尚學校學到的101件事

I was a little worried it'd be all theory, but the career-focused chapters on industry realities and professional wisdom are what really sold me. It's the kind of book that makes you feel less lost about the actual business side of fashion, not just the sketching.

The design principles in here are laid out so clearly that even someone like me, who’s never touched a sewing machine, finally gets how a collection comes together. I read the whole thing in two sittings because each lesson made me want to see what was next.

The chapter on navigating a fashion career alone is worth the price, it’s packed with the kind of professional wisdom you’d expect to learn after years in the industry. I’m two thirds through and already feel way more prepared for my design classes.
