I'm super interested in pursuing a career in fashion. Californian peeps, which colleges would you recommend that offer stellar programs in Fashion and Design, specifically those located in California?
Certainly! California is home to quite a few schools known for their strong programs in Fashion and Design. Here are a few I'd recommend considering:
1. Parsons School of Design at The New School has a campus in Los Angeles. Parsons is highly regarded and known for turning out top designers in the industry.
2. Otis College of Art and Design, located in Los Angeles, is another fantastic option. They offer both BFA and MFA programs in fashion design.
3. Academy of Art University located in San Francisco specifically offers BFA or MFA in Fashion Design, in addition to various other fields of study.
4. The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) has four campuses in California – Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Orange County. The college offers various programs related to fashion, including design, merchandising, product development, and more.
5. California College of the Arts, located in San Francisco, offers a BFA in Fashion Design that is very well-regarded.
As you begin to explore these programs, do keep in mind factors such as the college's curriculum, faculty, industry connections, internship opportunities, and the work of past students. Good luck with your college search, and I hope this helps you get started!
