In addition to a career in fashion design, a degree from a fashion design school can lead to a career in fashion merchandising, retail sales, fashion marketing, apparel patternmaking, tailoring, jewelry and accessories design, or even upholstery. If you are interested in one of the many fashion design careers, you’re in luck. Fashion design schools are everywhere from Boston to Florida to Seattle Washington. In fact, the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) accredits approximately 300 postsecondary institutions with programs in art and design.
