Fashion is all about an interest from early age or rather call it a talent, a university degree will add more knowledge and deeper understanding to fashion to what ever you have already. once you gain a degree it eases you to get into market much more easier than a person without one! i would advise that its far much better having a degree in fashion...
To be honest in fashion, university degree is plus factor to applicants. Working in fashion should put ur heart. In able to love ur work. Fashion is about love. The love on how to market it, to make sales on it this is fashion. Whats the use of having one if u dont have love in fashion. And for me expirience is much better to the world of fashion. Take it from the expert.
