  5. Hey. I really love your fashion style. I think bright colors are amazing and more guys should try it out. I hope to be in fashion someday and really want to apply to four different fashion schools next year. One of them is FIT. The major I’m interested in is also the major you are in. I feel it’s much more realistic and marketable then design in hard times like this. I’m also a huge fan of writing and hopefully someday I can do something with that as well. I am also from a small town in Ohio an

    Thank you so much for your support, and I can not agree with your more, guys should wear more color! 

    You are wise by applying to many schools opening up your options when it comes to deciding the next four years of your education. FIT would be a great match for you, they offer a 2 plus 2 system in which you could major in FMM and AMC. Allowing you to be marketable in buying and writing, ultimately giving you an educational edge. If fashion is your true love, leave Ohio and see where New York takes you, this really is the city to make your dreams come true!
