Hey guys, I just wanted to share that I recently got accepted to FIT's textile development program. I'm estatic about moving to NYC, also a little nervous. I feel like Manhattan well be a bit of a culture shock compared to South Philadelphia, but I'm exited to jump in and explore. Any advice would be greatly apeciated

My main advice for a fashion student, however, is to intern, intern, intern. College does not really prepare you for the work world. Try out as much as you can so that you can see what you like and don't, what size operations you are comfortable in, &c.
Edit: Also what Faust said. Midtown/Timesquare are what I avoid at all costs.

Prepare to overpay for a shitty apartments and nutty roommates. Come to SZ parties.
-Don't buy people's mixtapes on the subway. They're blank. Yes, this is a real thing.

So, how many of you are working in fashion in NYC? If so, in what area and for how long? I've been freelancing in the city in sales for about a year after moving back to the states from Paris. Obviously I am interested in getting into it full time and it seems that something solid is coming up after the New Year. Just trying to get the word out some more and build up that ever so important network.
