Hi there! Don't feel "stupid" for wanting this! It's a great dream and it's yours! Never mind what everybody else wants. Those are their dreams. It's perfectly all right to stray from the "norm," although I don't find wanting to pursue something as you have described to be abnormal. If you really want it, you can make it happen. Don't let anybody preach the negatives to you -- for example, don't let them tell you how "unreliable" it is, etc. Keep your eye on the prize and go for it!

I agree with Kylie- don't feel stupid for wanting to follow your dreams.
If you're happy, then that's all that matters. Cliche as it sounds- it's cliche for a reason.
We can all be doctors and lawyers. I think it's awesome that you've decided to pursue this.

Hey Pixie,
I don't think you're stupid for wanting to become a fashion designer at all! Everyone has different goals and different dreams and if this one is yours then you should go for it if that's what is going to make you happy. With hard work and determination absolutely anything is possible and if you go into something with a defeated mentality then the chances are that you'll come out defeated too, so please start believing in yourself because you can do it!
When we're lost in the madness, kindness is wisdom.
