A good first step would be to check out the websites of some fashion publications - see if you can access the background of their authors. You can see what credentials they have, and that will help you figure out your first steps. \n\nIn general, though, you'll want to attend a school that has a decent fashion business program and also a decent journalism school. You'd probably want to major in journalism and minor in something related to fashion: design, merchandising, retail, etc. You'll want to try to get internships or co ops at a fashion oriented publication, so that when you graduate you have some applicable work experience - this is a competitive field, so that work experience and the contacts you make through it will be especially important.

What track are you on? I'm Communication, writing track (journalism) double with poli sci and so I plan on being a journalist... if you're on a different track go with logical careers there... your career counciling center should help, Grad school is always a good option as well... not knowing you personally I cant be of any more help

Don't... School is so much easier and fun than working. You only have 2 more years left. Senior year is the most fun of all. It's completely worth it (generally a goof off year).  Good Luck!

You should consider participation or visiting a fashion related trade fair.\nwww.eventseye.com

Why do you want to study that? Everyone I know who graduated from journalism is workign at some crappy job such as working at printshop, telemarketing, waiting on a restaurant; all of them jobs they've could've gotten with a high school diploma. And it was a good college they graduated from, my college.

you want lots of extracurriculars. Ask your guidance counselor what are the key extracurriculars that would make you competitive for that type of school.\n\nI believe there is an interview process so make sure you brush up on your interviewing skills now that you are young.

Some universities have programs for fashion designers.  If you can't find a university with a design program close by, look for a technical school that has one.\nIf you haven't finished high school yet, look for a charter school that caters to that field.

I went to the AIH (Houston) and recieved a degree in Visual Communication. Even though this was 12 years ago, I had friends who were in the fashion design program. They loved it. It is intense, and you cant miss any classes or you will fall behind. Its worth your money depending on what area you want to be in. Two of my friends ended up as buyers for department stores. One did go to new york but the competition is fierse there!.  I think you need to figure out what area you want to work end AFTER you finish school and then decide. The AI is good for some areas, but not for all.

Dress for success. Of course you want to be bundled up, but once you arrive you want to be in business attire. This means conservative colored blazer style jacket, with slacks or skirt. Boots with heels or dress shoes, but no sneakers, sweats, sweatshirts, flannel... etc. \n\nHair, makeup, nails should be on the conservative side too. And if you have multiple piercings, take them all out, but one.  If  you have a nose or eyebrow ring get rid of it for the day.\n\nHair should be out of your face, and resist the impulse to play with it during the interview. Clip bangs securely out of your face. Don't dye it bright green the night before the interview. \n\nJewelry should be quiet - no jangly earrings, bracletts, etc. Less is more.  And if you have a tatoo - put a band aid over it.\n\nYou can ace the interview by knowing why you want to attend this college. Why is this school a good fit for you? Answer with personal specifics not just, "It's the best school for my major." College admissions people want students who will contribute to the vitality of their campus, so what do you plan to do once you get there? Why is this school a good place to do that? Show them you've done your homework, and that you plan to be an active, contributing student and that their university will be a better place because you're enrolled.\n\nBring along photos or a small portfolio showcasing examples of your passions.  Eventually they're going to ask if there's anything you want them to know about you. This is your "prop" to prompt you if you get nervous. Don't make everything about you academic. If you're a quilter, bring a photo of your quilt. If you're a dog fancier, bring a picture of your dog.\n\nTwo things you want to know before you go... What are your personal strengths? AND What are your personal weaknesses. Some form of these quesitons will come up and you don't want to say that you have none. \n\nBe prepared for the "future" question. "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" And be prepared for the silly question, "If you were a candy bar, what kind would you be?"\n\nSpit out the gum before you get there. Arrive 20 minutes early and find the restroom before you go in for the interview. Don't bring a cup of Starbucks in to the interview with you.\n\nTake a deep breath and smile. They're gonna love you!

Yep, the internship route is usually the best way.  I'd also think about doing something on fashion at your college newspaper.  The advantage there is that you can pretty much do what you want, but when you intern at a local company (perhaps the local newspaper), you'll probably be stuck doing obituaries or something until you get some experience.  Basically, it's tough to just walk right in to the position you want.  You normally have to work your way in.

OK  I have a plan no matter were you live there is ether a community college or a junior college. create a flyer telling exactly what you need and your cell# talk to the head of the fashion department and ask if they could hand out the flyers in class. if they decline post the flyers all over the bulletin boards around the fashion classes. this will get you cheap or free help and you can put your capital to better use like marketing or materials

Do some scholarship searching and get into college.  You'll find that its really a deja vu of high school, except without curfew and parental monitoring.  Its really cool and you will probably be happy there if you miss being a schoolkid.  College kids are just overgrown schoolkids.  As for what to major in, I can't tell you that - you'll have to figure out for yourself what you like to do and find the point where what you like intersects what you are GOOD at.    That will ensure that you can actually pass the courses in your major and get a good paying job after college.  (I changed majors a couple of times in college, trying to find the right thing for me.  So did a lot of people I know.  It seems to have turned out okay for everyone, so go ahead and experiment.)  Talk to a counselor to help with the depression if you can find one.  And keeping in touch with your high school friends will probably help you feel better as well.

get your degree then go pursue the entertainment career.  It will still be there when you have your degree in your hand.

I would go for the University degree, but try to get a part-time job at a paper too, or maybe work freelance. A lot of degrees also offer work placements now, my flatmate at uni did a journalism/media degree, did a 2 week work placement in her final year for a local magazine, and is now working there permanently.\n\nUniversity degree will educate you in the different types of Journalism styles and give you a good grounding.

Go to college. Get good grades. Do an internship. Start applying for jobs in the early winter or early spring. Have a professional reader (should be able to find one free on campus) review your resume before you post it to the top job-hunting sites. (Yahoo Hotjobs and Monster) Dress-up for the interview in appropriate business wear. Reasearch the company before you go to the interview so you know as much about them as possible.
