The Fashion Binder

After I looked through the degree plan and the course descriptions of HCC fashion design program, I got even more excited. So I needed to do something to release all these excitements. Then I decided to put together a fashion binder with all the beautiful fashion clothing from catalogs around my house. Take a look at some of them!

Then I also include some sketches that I have done years and years ago...Here's one:

I fell much much better now.

The Power of Google

One of my favorite fashion movie is, of course, "The Devil Wears Prada". I was watching it the other day and when Nigel said that he used to pretend to go to soccer practice so he could go to sewing classes, I realized that I need to take some sewing classes!!! I took one sewing class in high school but that was a long time ago and I have kind of forgotten how to used the sewing machine =(

So I went on Google to search for sewing classes in Houston, and somehow it gave me a link to a fashion design program in HCC! I had no idea that HCC has a fashion program! I didn't even know that Houston has any fashion design program since the Art Institute Houston only offers a fashion merchandising program. I was thrill to know about this!!! You have no idea how excited I was! I felt like my dream was getting closer and even more possible. I felt so inspired and happy! =)

I also found out that Chloe Dao - project runway season 2 winner - started her career right in HCC fashion design program! No one has ever told me that! I always thought that she went to school in NY. I wish that the media didn't hide this...then I would have known sooner. But I know it now and that's all that matters. Thank you Google!

The Plan

So basically I was thinking that I should complete pharmacy school before I attempt fashion but then that could be a very long time before I could finish. Now I think that I should take fashion classes along with my pharmacy classes so I could finish a little faster. The only problem is that not every state/city has a fashion design program and pharmacy program near each other...

Since I live in TX, I want to go to pharmacy school in TX. I also want to attend the pharmacy school in San Francisco CA because I heard that it's the best pharmacy school in the nation and I have some relatives there as well. Based on all that, there are only 3 places that I can do both at the same time: UH pharmacy school in Houston, TX; UT pharmacy school in Austin, TX; and of course UC San Francisco pharmacy school.

I'm also going to apply to several more pharmacy schools around TX but they don't have any fashion program school near by. I would not know what to do if I have to attend one of them, but I guess it'd be better than if I did not get accepted at all. I guess I might have to consider online classes if that happens...

Complications

Is it that hard to believe that I want to go to Pharmacy school AND Fashion Design school??? Maybe it's not possible. Maybe I should just pick one. But I think I can do both, to a certain extend. I mean I'm good at science and math. And I love sketching outfits and shoppings and shoes! I'm not that smart but I'm a hard worker so I can pretty much do anything I want right? I'm not a quitter once I set a goal for myself: get a PharmD and finish a fashion design program. So I guess this is what I'm going to blog about...whether or not I can achieve this goal. It might take me longer than I expected but who knows. Maybe one day I'll be a successful pharmacist and fashion designer!
