I've checked out kwantlen in depth but haven't had the chance to do that with LeFeaux yet, I'm curious as to why people choose to go to certain schools, who has already been there, and how far they have gone after.
I'm planning on going to school within a year or two, but want to establish myself a bit before I do. I've been making clothes for myself and other people since I was 14. And people ask me all the time where I got my "creations" so why not start selling them a bit :P Plus that sounds much more appealing to me than grovelling for more hours at starbucks!
the site?

I've looked really hard into Fashion design Schools all over. Kwantlen's program, Fashion Desighn and tecnology is a combination of Design, Marketing/Production, And Business. Its one of two schools in Canada that give a degree in fashion Design.The other is Ryerson in Toronto...Its cold there tho.. You will learn every aspect of the industry here and they are very foccussed on you leaving the school employed. You dont get to make what you want either...you have to focuss on market trends and different age groups...I have a portfolio review/interview at the end of April. This program is crazy because its like 70 hours a week of work and you are not recommended to have a job while going here... There goes my social life.... I dont know if im ready for something this intense. And i dont know if i want to live in richmond...Im hella confused...
As for other schools, VCC has a program... AI does but I think there more concerened in your money than anything... Capilano has a textiles program... and Helen LeFeaux i havnt looked too hard into but i think is more design ,and there are a few others.... If this is what your interested in good luck... its haaaaaarrd
