00:00:13,046 --> 00:00:14,496
>> My name is Kamille Hitz.

3
00:00:14,496 --> 00:00:16,456
And, I teach in the fashion department.

4
00:00:16,766 --> 00:00:20,376
People are very narrow-minded, often,
when they think of the fashion industry.

5
00:00:20,376 --> 00:00:22,906
They're only thinking of the
runway shows and the designers.

6
00:00:23,566 --> 00:00:29,546
When, actually, there's this huge
range of jobs that surround them.

7
00:00:29,546 --> 00:00:31,066
You have graphic designers.

8
00:00:31,066 --> 00:00:32,196
You have web designers.

9
00:00:32,326 --> 00:00:33,576
You have PR.

10
00:00:33,576 --> 00:00:35,156
You have sales.

11
00:00:35,156 --> 00:00:36,046
You have merchandising.

12
00:00:36,046 --> 00:00:38,626
You have the entire production
staff, sample makers --

13
00:00:39,066 --> 00:00:43,426
it's a huge undertaking to
bring clothing to the customer.

14
00:00:44,106 --> 00:00:46,686
>> Pattern work is what I primarily enjoy.

15
00:00:46,846 --> 00:00:48,246
And, I knew nothing about it.

16
00:00:48,336 --> 00:00:50,936
Prior to that, I wanted to
be a fashion designer.

17
00:00:51,046 --> 00:00:52,746
And, prior to that, I wanted
to be an illustrator.

18
00:00:53,026 --> 00:00:55,036
There's so many roads that you can go down.

19
00:00:55,076 --> 00:00:58,416
It's just -- it's -- really,
the possibilities are endless.

20
00:00:59,096 --> 00:01:03,746
I have kind of started hitting the
ground running from the first class.

21
00:01:03,796 --> 00:01:06,456
Like, you can take something,
learn something, master something,

22
00:01:06,846 --> 00:01:08,746
and start making money immediately.

23
00:01:08,996 --> 00:01:11,046
>> Different people come
at fashion different ways.

24
00:01:12,336 --> 00:01:14,876
Some people come at it completely creative.

25
00:01:15,546 --> 00:01:17,656
Other people come at it very analytically.

26
00:01:18,556 --> 00:01:22,526
And, that both informs the
designs they eventually create,

27
00:01:23,586 --> 00:01:25,286
but -- and also their career path.

28
00:01:25,956 --> 00:01:27,826
Fashion design is not an easy subject.

29
00:01:28,916 --> 00:01:31,286
You can't fake the test.

30
00:01:31,286 --> 00:01:32,586
Your dress is done, or it's not.

31
00:01:33,516 --> 00:01:38,096
And so, it's a very tough field to get through.

32
00:01:38,716 --> 00:01:41,806
Getting your feet wet and getting
some knowledge in community college,

33
00:01:42,066 --> 00:01:44,976
and getting ready to go attack
it is a really good idea.
