My friend and I want to move to Chicago, but she is looking for a college or university in the Chicago area (can be in the actual city or in any of the suburbs) that will offer a 2 year associates degree in fashion design. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this. I’ve been doing some hunting to help her out, but this isn’t my field, so I don’t even know which colleges to be looking at… or what would be good…

I love fashion design and I would like to have a career in it, but I’m not only interested in design but also in fiction writing. I love writing stories, and I’m more all over the place in choosing genres. But what I am not interested in is fashion journalism. I reseached it and tried writing for newspapers, but I’m more of a fictional person.

I want to start up my own clothing line, and I have over 200 designs already, but design schools are expensive. I want to also get a degree in business because I want to own my own night club, so I won’t have time to go to school for fashion design, business, and have a job to pay for school.

Skeeve asked:
A dear friend has a dream of being a fashion designer. She completed a teaching degree and then went on to do a couple of years of some sort of design qualification but had to stop for personal reasons. Is there something she can do to get a foot in the door somewhere and progress towards her dream? I’m an engineer and don’t really have any idea about the fashion business.

Still, the classic problem of not being able to get a job without experience but you can’t get experience without having been in a job for a while is stopping her from getting a start. Unusually(?), she can’t stand the concept of working in retail (for example, a dress shop), although I’ve suggested that might be helpful.
Is going back to uni a prerequisite? Is there a way she could do something part-time and not take 10 years to get somewhere?
I think she’d appreciate any sort of insights or suggestions.
