QUESTION 4 OF 27

When did you realize that you wanted a career in fashion?

The interviewer would like to know what led you to a career in fashion. Talk about your passion for the industry and where it all started. You can draw on some personal points but try to keep your answer brief and to the point.

"I have had an interest in fashion ever since I was a child. I would create outfits for my dolls and do fashion shows with my friends. My passion for the industry has been present from the beginning."

"I realized in my teens that fashion was so much more than just the clothes you wear. In 9th grade I did a presentation on the evolution of fashion. The research I conducted really opened my eyes to the statements that designers make through their collections. I was hooked!"

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I have had an interest in fashion ever since I was a kid. I would start to draw dresses and clothes and was thinking about being a fashion designer.

Marcie's Feedback

Wow! It sounds like it's your dream to work in fashion, which is awesome. Can you give more information about how your interest evolved over time? Did you eventually start taking more creative (art, fashion, etc.) classes? Did you nurture your interest in other ways? By joining groups or practicing by yourself? The more details you can give, the more the interviewer will be able to see how passionate you are about pursuing this type of career.
