10 THINGS THAT TV AND FILM TAUGHT ME ABOUT FASHION

I would say that my first love of fashion came from Project Runway. I LOVED that show with a passion and always thought that I could be the one up there making a ballgown out of $30 of fabric and some sequins. Unfortunately I realised early on that I am not the sewing type; I once made a lined satin swing dress at school and after weeks of perfecting it and making sure everything looked great, I managed to overlock a seam and cut my dress in half... (it ended up as a horribly baggy top). Nevertheless this didn't put me off pursuing a degree in fashion promotion (no sewing there thank you) and I think watching a multitude of films and tv shows related to fashion during my childhood only spurred me on and made me realise that this is the line of work I want to be in. So here are 10 things that tv and film taught me about the fashion industry.
