Fashion Design Personal Statement

Discovering and choosing a college that best suits my needs was a rigorous yet thrilling task. The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising clearly came forth as the best choice for me to further my education in design. Being unable to visit the college campus, as I live in New York, I've done lots and lots of research about FIDM, and I realize the institute offers what I hope to gain from my college experience.

Wayne Dyer once said “doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life”. Ever since I was a little girl, fashion has always been a very important part of my life. However, while most young girls were busy designing Barbie’s next outfit, I was enthusiastically trying to figure out the best way to market and sell Barbie to my friends. This habit did not end during my childhood years; rather it followed me through high school. I firmly believe that being passionate about your career can add much happiness and depth to your life. By attending FIT I can bring and take away positive ideas and qualities.

After graduating from Brazosport College, I plan to transfer to the University of Houston in the spring of 2018 to obtain my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a major in Management. Once I complete my Bachelor’s degree my goal is to have my own fashion boutique. I have always been told to find my passion and turn it into a career. Turning my love for fashion into my own business is what I plan to accomplish one day. My goal is to not only have my own business, but create a platform that will make a positive impact in the community and the lives of each customer.

Starting back at Austin Community College I switched my major from Marketing to Fashion Merchandising. I know I've made the right choice to leave cosmetology school and changing my major. I've gone from a C student to A's and B's student. While at ACC I have experienced some wonderful opportunities through my Fashion courses. From being invited to go watch the University of Texas student fashion show the last two years and being invited to attend Austin Fashion week.

When was a small child, I had a lot of imagination and was burning with creativity. My sister and I had a composition notebook full of ideas for our own tree-house. Even though they were crazy and unrealistic, we still put a lot of passion into them. There is this odd thing I do when I listen to music, I started jumping around in my room with my arms spread out like a bird so it looks like I'm flying. My mom calls it "Dance Fantasies!" and she would wiggle her fingers while saying it. Today, the book is long gone, my sister is a freshman college and I'm a high school Senior. Our minds have drifted from all those insane projects we did as kids. Nowadays, I have thought about putting my imagination and creativity into my future career. I remember when I was an eighth grade I thought about what I wanted to do once I got into high school, and I narrowed my options down to Culinary Arts.

I am from Kansas City, a wife and mom of two boys and a girl 10,12 & 18. I worked in the fashion industry for 15 years when I decided that I wanted a little less travel and more time with my family.

From my early experiences with fashion, these lead me to continue to follow all through my academic process, my favorite classes all through elementary school were Art, this continued until high school. In high school, I explored more into the world of fashion and more behind the scenes of the fashion industry. During my junior year of high school, I took a job a K-mart I learned about not only fashion but retail. I learned a great deal in the job about visual merchandising, during this time through a class in high school we were given the opportunity to spend the day with the Austin American statesman, I was chosen to spend the day with marketing department, I learned a great deal and this really changed my outlook for my career path at the

The world of marketing has always caught my eye. It’s fascinating how there’s more than one way to approach a situation and tackle it. How one can embrace uncertainty and complexity as creative catalysts that invite and demand innovation. Marketing lets me be myself and lets me apply my innovativeness and artistry in all sorts of ways. I hope to continue my pursuit of a career in the enterprising world with an ever existent enthusiastic approach. But in doing so, education plays an important role in the successful continuation of my pursuit. And what better place to learn and grow than Penn.

“Never complain of what your parents couldn't give you. It was probably all they had.”-Anonymous. My aspiration has always been to achieve beyond what my parents were able to do. Ever since I was young, I would examine how my parents would have a rough time to support my family and I. My parents immigrated El Salvador to the United States having little education, since they didn't attend school most of the time because they were impelled to start working at a young age. My parents thought of their future kids and didn't want us to go through the same thing they did. Even though I didn't have brand clothes, shoes or games I was grateful for what I had even if it was hand me downs. I recognized that whatever they provided for us was worked from the sweat of their foreheads.

It is safe to say that I have been dispensing free fashion advice to friends and family before I can even remember. I have a profound interest in how clothing can tell a story about an individual or even a brand. Personally, I believe the way we demonstrate style and interpret fashion is highly reflective of our personalities, what we have been doing and where we have been, it’s a form of personal perception and self-expression. Being given the opportunity to blend my obsession in fashion products and story telling combined with marketing strategies is something that really fascinates me. This is what intrigued me and finally led me to my applying for the AAS in Fashion Marketing at Parsons.
