When I first started looking for schools to strengthen my fashion skills, I never thought that I would find a school that would really give me the in-depth teachings that I was looking for. The Fashion Institute of South Florida has contributed greatly to moving towards my dreams of becoming a fashion designer. When I first began, I could barely set up a sewing machine. Now I am able to set it up in seconds. I started sewing with little samples to more extensive garments such as pants and jackets, something I never thought I was capable of doing all by myself. I've taken almost every course that this institute has to offer and was not disappointed in the slightest. The teachers are amazing and care for the students, which I greatly appreciated. Recently, I've been accepted to The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC where I will be studying fashion design. This institute gave me the insight and knowledge that I needed in order to create a successful portfolio that got me one step closer to my dreams. I extremely grateful to everyone at The Fashion Institute of South Florida.
