“It might be clichéd but really just follow your heart. Doing fashion, you really have to devote yourself to it completely. If you think you’re not up for it, then maybe you aren’t. There’s no room for doubt. Inspiration can be found anywhere, it’s up to designers to see it.”
Jack & O
“Be patient when working in this industry. When it comes to working in fashion, you can easily get lost. We listen to other people’s opinions but only to a certain point. Stick to your own concept; after all, it’s your brand.”
Mark
“If you know you have passion for fashion, then go for it! What are you waiting for? Take a short fashion course to see if it’s truly your thing. Ask yourself, ‘Can I really do this?’ It’s not as easy as it looks. And share your ideas. Becoming a successful designer means knowing how to work with a team.”

“You have to take it step by step. It’s like drawing, you have to start with an outline. If you have money, sure, you can just open your own store, but you won’t have the necessary experience to survive. And for those starting small, if somebody slams a door shut in your face, just keep knocking until they open.”
Kung
“Do you want to be a fashion designer because of the title or because you actually want to create something for a person to wear? And it doesn’t just take creativity to create fashion. Knowing how to cut and sew a dress remains the essence of making clothes.”
