For the fashion student who wants to succeed, try out your latest designs on your friends.  Why not organize a party or gathering for a group of friends where they play dress up?  This way they get a great evening of entertainment (for free or relatively cheap depending on what you decide) and you get free publicity for your designs.  It is a good way for everyone to get something they want.  It makes sense for people who are beginning in the design/fashion world to find a way to start off in this world which can often be very difficult to get into.  Use your imagination and see just how far you can go; you’d be surprised how easy it can be if you have good designs but are lacking a stage through which to display them, this is a perfect solution.
