I don’t think so! I’m going back as a mature student this year to study fashion design having previously trained as an accountant. It’s never too late to follow your dreams.

If you know you want to work in fashion then a generic marketing/business degree isn't the best option. A fashion branding or fashion marketing degree would be a better option because you're getting all the basics but with the specifics of the fashion industry.

Specifically look for universities that have a presence at graduate fashion week for their fashion comms/marketing/branding courses. They're likely to have opportunities for you to collaborate with fashion design students as well as build your skills and portfolio of design work outside your studies.
