School: Fashion Institute of Technology in New York

Major applying to: Fashion Business Management 

I would like the theme of my essay to revolve around this theme and anecdote: 

The theme of the essay: The Power of Fashion, as a reference to the book the Power of Now. In the end, the present moment is all we have. Even if fashion works and is based on trends, fashion is relevant only in the present moment. I can connect this whole idea to my personal story, referring to the anecdote that being at Purdue, leaving my comfort zone and the things that I might lose – your community, friends, time, etc. In the end, what is relevant for me, is the present moment, just like fashion. Friends and other stuff, just like fashion trends, come and goes. All I have now, is my passion for fashion. 

Personal Story: An undergraduate bachelors degree typically takes four years to complete and it usually comprises 120 semester credit hours. This can seem like a long and monotonous commitment to most people, however, that is not the case for me. Currently, I am student at Purdue University on the path to complete a double major Retail Management and Supply Chain and Operations with a concentration in Marketing. I chose to come to this university because of its small town environment and the opportunities that it will bring to my professional and personal life. At Purdue, I have a tight latino community and there are little to no distractions. In here, I feel in my comfort zone. Nevertheless, ever since I got here, I knew I wanted to attend the one-year associate program of Fashion Business Management at FIT. However, at first it just felt like a crazy dream. Once I made my decision on applying to FIT, many people, especially my friends, questioned it. Many told me that it was a bad idea because I would have to start a whole new life over again, adjust to a new educational system, make a new group of friends and especially delay all my study and career plans. Although sometimes these comments got into my mind, nothing was going to stop me from achieving my goals: work at a big fashion company or open a fashion business of my own. I knew at heart that no matter how long it will take me to graduate, how many friends I would lose or the struggles that I would face, I wanted to go to FIT and study what I am passionate about. 

  1. What makes me a perfect candidate for FIT?

    1. I am a decision maker, risk-taker and open-minded person

      1. Decision-maker and risk taker:

        1. I am leaving all my life at Purdue behind (community, friends, time, etc) to study what I am passionate about: fashion. 

      2. Open-minded person

        1. I am leaving my comfort zone (Purdue)

        2.  I am willing to live in one of the biggest cities of the U.S. New York, get to know new people and places

  1. Reasons why youre interested in the major you are applying to

    1. I am passionate towards fashion and my goals are either to work at a big fashion company or create my own business

      1. For as long as I can remember my outlet of expression has been fashion. Contemplating textures, colors, garments, combinations, and every aspect of how something is made inspires me to be a part of it and create something for myself. The reason for applying to FIT and the program of Fashion Business Management holds relevance to me because its an opportunity of a lifetime to explore careers directly related with the fashion industry in one of the globally renowned fashion hubs. Fashion is an industry that is always evolving and constantly changing. Its a non-stop lifestyle, which is exactly what I strive for. I know where I want to go, and my education at Purdue has been incredible with the opportunities offered and when combining it with the education, experience, and insight that the Fashion Institute of Technology could bring Im convinced that Ill be able to achieve my long-term goals.

      2.  The idea of learning from professionals who bring industry experience into the classroom and provide a hands-on approach is all Ive ever wanted to be a part of. Ever since Ive had enough reasoning to come to conclusions myself, being part of the managerial aspect of the industry has been my goal. The Fashion Business Management major provides insight and a wide range of possibilities in paths that go from buying and merchandising, marketing, human resources, and information technology.

  1. Experience ((internship, personal projects, etc), Activities ((tasks I have done – blogs, events, etc) and Accomplishments ((tangible and/or measurable things youve achieved)

    1. Internship at a sustainable fashion startup called Present Iteration

      1. Throughout this past year Ive been getting as involved as possible in making changes that would impact my goals for the future, and thus I pursued an internship with Taylor Allen, an entrepreneur who started her own company revolving around sustainable fashion. I was offered an internship with Present Iteration in the communications department. My role throughout the internship revolved around researching on how to move towards approachable and sustainable fashion, as well as looking for alternatives to resolve and minimize the social costs that fast fashion has brought to society through blogs and interactive discussions. 

      2. I wrote about 2-3 blogs per week

      3. This internship helped me gain more knowledge about the fashion industry as well as improve my interpersonal skills. 

      4. Not only that but I was able to see how challenging is to work in the fashion industry. There is a lot of demand and competition
