Fashion Training in China
Mastery looks easy. But, in reality it takes years to develop mastery. And, if you want to be the best, you've got to have training.
Sure, there are instant wonders out there who pick up a sketch book and produce great fashions. But, to survive in the industry for long you've got to study the masters. You've got to know which designs have already been done by others, and how to produce something that's truly unique and beautiful.
So far I've only had time to research this training in Beijing. Hopefully in coming months I'll have time to look around the rest of China.
