If so, it can feel very daunting knowing where to start - especially when trying to break into such a competitive industry. But fear not! Because, here on campus, there are so many ways to pursue your passion for fashion.
In an interview with Ella Hewitt, the Writing Director and Welfare Officer for Newcastle University Fashion Society (NUFS), she explained the three main pathways the society offers which include: modelling, design and sewing, and writing.
"...models get the opportunity to work with professional photographers..."
Ella said: "With the modelling pathway, it provides students with the opportunity to explore different techniques in modelling... and it really helps to build their confidence.
We [also] join with the photography society to go to Caviar Studios by the Quayside where models get the opportunity to work with professional photographers in a professional setting."
This also gives models the necessary experience to partake in the society's most coveted event - the fashion show! Usually held in June, models will sport the hard work that students in the design pathway create. In this particular pathway, people can attend different sessions which are all for varying levels of expertise. Here, you can develop or enhance your design and sewing skills and put your creative ideas out there for everyone to see.
"It sounds like a night you'd deeply regret to miss."
Speaking of the fashion show, NUFS also offers a range of thrilling events, consisting of both sober and drinking socials. The main winter event the society will be throwing is the special 10th anniversary Fashion Society Winter Ball. The dress code is black tie and there will be live music, photographers and a two course meal to look forward to. It sounds like a night you'd deeply regret to miss.
Finally, the writing pathway gives people the chance to delve into fashion journalism and write for the society's blog or magazine named 'The Edit' which is now running for it's second year.
Ella adds: "The Edit is a bi-annual release this year. We're doing a winter edition and a summer edition where students can get their work published in a fashion magazine.
It also involves the models, designers and the writers. So, its a lovely accumulation of everyone's work over the year."
By the way, it is never too late to join a society! Don't be scared to join just because the chaos of freshers week has died down. The fashion pathways are all available to join at any point, however, if you wish to write for the magazine, deadlines are a lot sooner due to strict production dates. But you can write for the blog at any point in time so don't let this discourage you!
There is also no expectation that you have to be a fashion expert in order to join the society. Whether you're a complete novice or already have your sights set on being the next Anna Wintour, the fashion society has a space for everyone.
Ella notes that: "I only recently found my footing in fashion. I think once you get out of college and that small town [mindset], you're in such a different space with so many individuals."
Overall, there is so much to get involved with and sink your teeth into when it comes to fashion on campus. No matter what your interests or abilities are, there is something for everyone. Memberships only cost £10 and being a member also guarantees a cheaper price for winter ball tickets!
"With fashion, it's such an easy space to get involved in."
Ella closed off the interview with a final push for people to join the society and stated: "We are such an inclusive society. We have people from so many different backgrounds... and it's so lovely watching people flourish and feel safe within the group.
With fashion, it's such an easy space to get involved in. So many people admit that they're not even into any specific [areas of fashion] but they just feel seen and supported."
