Post #3: FIDM

Hello Reader!
I have been learning about FIDM, which stands for Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. FIDM is a private college that educates students in fields of Fashion, Entertainment,  Interior Design, and Graphics. There are currently four locations including San Francisco, Downtown Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. I am interesting in taking a tour of FIDM San Francisco, which i learned is offered through the website. Not only does this school help with fashion and graphic designing, but it also teaches students how to merchandise and buy for major companies and department stores. Some jobs from FIDM include designing textiles, designing new clothes for a doll, or even designing a dress for an Oscar nominated Movie. I like that this school provides many different branches of design. I am most interested in the fashion field. From looking through the website, i learned that there are four careers for Majors in fashion, including the Designer, Design Director, Associate Designer, and Technical Designer. Under the Creative Director section, Visual Communications caught my eye. In that field, it is your job to design sets for runway shows and gallery openings. Lastly, Merchandise Marketing sounded interesting to me as well. According to the FIDM website, one must be organized and a born leader to be a good Merchandise Marketer and i think i am both. I always try my best to be organized and not lose things. Also, I was ASB class president last year and i could relate to that for the leader part.  I am glad that I have started to research about fashion schools, especially ones that are close to me. I am now understanding more about the different fields of fashion and i believe that FIDM may be a choice for me!
