Being a fashion student is all fun and dandy until it happens – Your professor, future employer, or just a regular old important person asks you the one question that almost makes your heart stop. How do you keep up with what’s going on in the fashion industry? As you scramble in your mind to find the answer while trying not to appear as clueless as you really are, you are dying to just say Uhh, I don’t know.
Let’s face it, being a SCAD fashion student is a pretty demanding job. We have our stressful school projects, extracurricular activities, future jobs or internships we’ve been searching for, and on top of that, our normal social lives.
