 I
became interested in this course after becoming a freelance
makeup artist and needing to learn how to market myself. I
have taken two classes at FIT in the past and I would love
to go to college here. As a makeup artist, I need to be able
to represent myself in the most professional way possible,
but also to represent myself as a creative person. One of
the job requirements is to be as new and updated as
possible, and this requires immersion in not only the beauty
industry, but also that of fashion. Keeping constantly in
with the right crowd requires networking correctly and
professionally, and I hope that is what this course can
teach me. The fashion industry is very cut-throat, and I
must learn to be the best business woman I can possibly be
to get the most lucrative jobs possible. - Charlotte

 I wanted to take this
course because one of my goals is to own my own jewelry
store. I want to be able to run my own small store, and
eventually, turn it into a larger store. I take a business
class already in my high school, but I wanted to experience
a business course taught by a college professor. By taking
this course, I hope to gain valuable knowledge about how to
run a successful business. I’m excited to take this class
because I want to further my knowledge of business and apply
this to my life and do the best for myself that I can. -

 Growing
up as a child I wasn’t very much into fashion. Clothing was
something I knew about only because I didn’t have a choice
but to wear clothes. I wasn’t into fashion as much as I am
now. Trend-setters were always attractive in my eyes because
I grew up with nothing but trend-setters. As the years
progressed and I began to possess more knowledge in the
field of fashion, a career in the fashion industry seemed
like a sound possibility. Fashion, being a new subject for
me, is a very diverse but yet intriguing topic and attending
the pre-college courses in F.I.T will further enhance my
knowledge and skill-set in the fashion industry. - Muntasir

I was first told about
FIT’s high school programs a year ago by a girl at my school
who had launched an extremely successful handbag business.
She recommended taking a design course when I told her that
I was interested in creating a business of my own.
However, I decided that it would be more beneficial to get
an idea of how I might even go about such a difficult task.
So when it came time to finally choose what course I would
enroll in, Small Business Start Up seemed like the obvious
choice. I have known since I was eleven that fashion
is what I’m truly passionate about. I can’t claim that every
idea I have had has been worthwhile, but I look forward to
learning how to pull out the ideas that have potential, and
discovering how I can organize my many ideas in a productive
way so that I can create something, instead of just planning
and planning when I really don’t how to make it happen.

 I decided to choose
this course to broaden my thoughts and ideas of the subject.
As a young individual I worked for Nuzzolese Brothers Ice
Co, a family owned business ran by my father. This was the
first true impact that played a role on my goals and future
plans. Since then, I have worked as a model, retail sales
man, leading to my employment at Zara helping out with the
visual design of the store. I always knew that I wanted to
pursue business and to further my education. Being an
All-State Trombonist I established great creativity along
with a powerful imagination. I feel that this course can
help me gather my ideas and help me along the way of a
successful business. I know through the person that I am and
my love for fashion, I will make the best out of this course
to pursue the steps that will make up the many paths to my
success.

 I choose this course
because I would like open my own fashion boutique and I
figured this course could start me off with the basic
knowledge and information I need to achieve my goals. My two
best friends and I used to always talk about having our own
store. In the past 2 years, as I’ve been looking at colleges
and considering my plans for the future, I have decided that
opening a boutique is what I want to do in my future. I have
come up with several ideas in my head for how I will design
my store, what the name of it will be, and what kind of
merchandise I will have, and I am hoping that this course
will help make those ideas a reality. I do not yet have the
proper knowledge needed to pursue my goals, however I am
willing to learn and I hope I can get a lot out of this
course. - Christina Franchini

 My
name is Sandra Thelusmond and I decided to take this class
because I want to learn more about Fashion and the Fashion
business. I have a strong interest in Fashion as well as
journalism so I decided to take this class to explore that
interest. From a young age I decided that any career path I
would choose I would somehow have to incorporate my love of
Fashion into it. One day I hope to have my own Fashion
Corporation which will serve as an umbrella to the different
Fashion related companies I want to own. The first of these
companies that I want to start is my own boutique. I love to
shop and I would be picking out all the merchandise that my
boutique would be selling. I like trendy pieces but I
firmly believe in making your outfit and each item of
clothing you wear unique and your own. I think others will
enjoy shopping in my boutique and will enjoy my sense of
style.
