Looking for friends - UAL FAD f&t Costume Store

Hi, everyone!

I just want to introduce myself and makes some friends before the course starts:smile:

My name's Seoin-Sin for short-I'm from Seoul, South Korea, but lived in the US for 8 years now (near DC).

I'm committed to UAL foundation in art and design for the fashion and textiles specialist pathway at lime grove for 2025-26 and thinking about Costume Store for accommodation.

Hopefully I will go to Central Saint Martins for my BA in womenswear in the future.

I'm really into art, music, and literature in general, especially gothic:smile: I like metal, goth rock, hardcore/punk music, and that's also why I want to go to London cuz their music scene is amazing!!!

Other than hobbies and interests, I would like to meet other international students on here that are going to UAL pre-degree next year!!!

Yup, LCF womenswear is my absolute dream right now because I think I lean towards a slightly more technical approach, but we'll see! Are there other courses you're considering?

I am still debating between csm womenswear and menswear because i like my designs to be androgynous & for both. While womenswear is easier to create more masculine looks compared to making feminine looks for menswear, less people do menswear in the industry so it would make me stand out/less competition.

My dream school is CSM but I'm also thinking about costume design courses at lcf & wimbledon. My ultimate dream is to make costumes for film and performance like with musicians/bands so ranging from historical costumes to more contemporary look, so I can't really choose at the moment😭 I also heard of csm' performance design and practice but they're not fashion focused so I might have to drift from my dream school😅

I'm hoping thay the foundation year really helps me find what I really like and what I should do for my BA:smile:

Costume design sounds sooo cool omg I love seeing those works. I'm sure foundation will help clarify things, they have so many events explaining courses and everything 🙂 Also I wanted to ask if you have SM but TSR keeps deleting my posts when I mention a certain camera logoed app 😭😭😭???

hey i heard that with womenswear and menswear at csm that it’s pretty fluid for both! meaning whatever course you go on you can create both womenswear and menswear
