I think I'm pretty good at picking out outfits for people and putting new things together and I read a lot of fashion magazines and books. I've been watching Project Runway, though, and it seems like sometimes, I totally disagree with all the judges. I know it's art so people will have different preferences, but as a buyer who will buy for an entire customer base, it worries me when I disagree with established designers and established designers and magazine journalists.

I am trying to learn as much as possible about designers and trends from different decades but it's so overwhelming. I feel like I don't know anything! What kind of knowledge base is expected of me when I go to school? Anything in particular? Should I go in having a lot of knowledge about designers or fashion lingo or fashions of different decades and countries??

I'm freaking out

The basic knowledge that you need to know for this field id passion.....alot of people can't do this job,but if you have that spark,or that passion for the job,all the rest that you need to know is in school.No worries.When you go to school you'll learn why the judges said no to some of the things that the naked eye isn't trained for.Its the same thing with doctors.They can see stuff that looks fine to us,but its not.They didn't just wake up one morning,with basic knowledge of a doctor.....they knew they had an interest in the field and went to school o be taught the rest.

Stay calm.. You will learn what you need to know. Just study (informally!) trends, fashion thru the ages, colour combinations...they will all come in ahndy. You will have a good knowledge base on which to build. Your fashion sense may be different, but that is not always a bad thing....good luck...... :D
