What are the best majors for an uprising fashion designer that wants to make it in the fashion industry?
I have already created a lot of unique and distinctive designs that I would implement into my clothing line. I am curious as to which college majors will put me on the right track to be on my way to having my own brand of clothing in department stores. #fashion #majors #successful

Hi Amirah,
If Fashion Design is what you're looking to get in to, there are a few schools in and around the Boston area that actually offer Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandising majors.
Such as:

http://www.massart.edu/academic_programs/fashion_design.html
http://www.mountida.edu/academics/undergraduate-majors/fashion-design/
Not to mention the many schools across the country that offer programs as well!
This is a super direct option, but if you feel that you've already nailed down the basics of design and garment construction, you could consider an Art major or even a Business major. I would highly recommend taking a few business courses regardless, so that you can be your own entrepreneur, and to have a grasp on both sides of the fashion industry, design and business.
As a Framingham State University Fashion Program alumni, I would be happy to get you into contact with a professor in the program to ask more specific questions as well!
