Among the design majors, there are graphic design, environmental art design, interior decoration design, public art design, craft modeling design, dyeing and weaving art design, animation design, stage design, fashion design, display design, industrial design and architectural design.

Among them, the most well-known is probably the clothing design.

There is also a reason for this result.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are essential factors that are inseparable from people's lives.

Let's talk about housing and transportation first, because the cost is too high, many people will only invest in these two things once in their lives, so although they are necessary, they are still a little less routine after all.

Food, although it is very routine, but because most people don't need to eat in front of other people, they don't have to decorate the façade with food, so except for those very particular gourmets, most people still stay at the level of 'just be satisfied with themselves', and the requirements for food are not too high.

Only the 'clothes' are different.

It's okay to avoid people when you're eating, but you can't go all day without being seen, right? So, in order to ensure their image in the eyes of others, people will always subconsciously tidy up and dress up.

In other words, it is precisely because clothing has the greatest impact on one's personal image that people are so particular about it.

Demand, means the market.

From tailor shops in small alleys to design studios in Milan to high-end custom shops in Savile Row, England, the storefronts are of different grades and target different customer groups, but without exception, they are all part of the industry, and they all eat through their expertise in clothing design.

The so-called benefits include not only economic gains, but also personal honors.

In general, the groups that benefit the most in the clothing industry are still those designers who have made a name. The greater the fame, the more income comes from a fact without question.

So, how do you become a famous fashion designer?

Talent is an innate factor, accounting for a large proportion, but more important is the later learning.

If you are very talented, but you do not have good learning conditions, then you may not be able to become a good designer; On the other hand, if your talent is not very good, but you have very perfect learning conditions, then, as long as you work hard, you may not be able to become the top in the industry, but at least, you can still be among the top and mix well in this industry.

The Royal School of Design in Antwerp in Belgium, Central Saint Martins in the United Kingdom, and Parsons in the United States are among the top three fashion design schools in the world.

Horizontally, their position in the world university rankings may not be in the top 100, but when it comes to their professionalism and teaching quality, it can be said that there is nothing better than them in the entire fashion design major.

"It seems that the old tradition needs to be revised." After thinking about it for a while, Lin Zhicheng suddenly spoke.

"Huh?"

"It's not one of the top 100 universities, but if it's called Duke? If Harden's young man can graduate and he is willing to return to work or use what he has learned to repay in other ways, he will not necessarily bring less benefits than the students who are admitted to prestigious schools. Lin Zhicheng expressed his thoughts: "In short, I think there should be a new standard to be set for those art students alone. For example, Duke, who is now admitted to the Royal Academy of Art and Design in Antwerp? Harden, for example, was a student who was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music. ”

"I'm in favor~!" After listening to Lin Zhicheng's explanation, Catherine raised her hand in agreement.

Not only because what Lin Zhicheng said is very reasonable, but also partly because of Catherine's own unwillingness.

It all started when she left the island to go to school in England. Because the ultimate goal is to come back to help the owner, so she Catherine can only choose a school that specializes in training housekeepers. Although the housekeepers produced by that school were very popular, and both the newly wealthy and the old-fashioned aristocracy flocked to them, because the school's world ranking was not in the top 100, according to tradition, Catherine was not able to get a reward when she was admitted.

Of course, the real process is not so rigid. After all, Catherine was the daughter of Old John, and unlike the other students on the island, she didn't have much personal friendship with the owner. Therefore, when Catherine was admitted to the housekeeper school, the old island owner actually wanted to give her a little reward.

The key is that Old John has a horizontal stick. In his words, 'tradition is tradition, and we can't break it casually, at the very least, we can't start it ourselves'.

is not only empathetic to Duke Harden, but also recalls the original situation, and complains a little about Old John, which is why Catherine responded to Lin Zhicheng's proposal so quickly and expressed support for his new plan.

"No, I mean, you shouldn't have made a decision in such a hurry, it's better to think about it a little more." As at the beginning, Old John was still unsupportive.

While putting down the cutlery in his hand and maintaining the most orthodox gentleman's image, Old John expressed his opinion: "It is true that the old tradition left over from the past may become obsolete, but if you want to continue to maintain your authority, I think it is better to keep it as it is." After all, the key to tradition is time, and if you make changes at every turn, you can't call it tradition. ”

Loosen the restrictions a little today and treat Duke Harden the same as those students who have been admitted to prestigious schools, so will tomorrow continue to relax the restrictions and put another student in that range? If the restrictions are relaxed repeatedly, the original principle that only students who are admitted to the top 100 universities in the world will receive additional rewards will be null and void and lose their original meaning.

From another point of view, John Sr.'s insistence is not unreasonable.

"Anyway, there aren't many people on the island who get into college every year, right?" Catherine retorted.

As Lin Zhicheng's housekeeper, Catherine rarely shows her emotions on weekdays. Although she will keep smiling in front of Lin Zhicheng, in the final analysis, it can only be regarded as a manifestation of her professional quality.

Now it's different. Although it was still in front of Lin Zhicheng, because the person who had the conflict of opinion was her own father, Catherine unconsciously showed her side as a daughter.

Watching Catherine roll her eyes at Old John, Lin Zhicheng felt that it was both fresh and interesting, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Watching the excitement is not afraid of big things, not to mention, a small bickering can also add a little bit of home. After thinking about it, Lin Zhicheng also followed and provided support to Catherine from the side: "Catherine, you said that there are not many people on the island who are admitted to universities every year? Do you have any specific data, let's hear about it? ”

"Ugh." Turning her head and seeing Lin Zhicheng glaring at herself, Catherine was stunned for a moment. After reacting, she deliberately said loudly: "I don't know anything else, anyway, in my year, there were only four people on the island who were admitted to college." ”

"Huh? Only four? The number is far less than he imagined, and Lin Zhicheng was really a little shocked at this time.

"Hmm. As far as I know, there are only four people who have officially received their acceptance letters. I don't know if there are any other ways to go out to study, such as going to night school while working outside, or running to school while traveling. Catherine nodded.

"Is it only four in a year? Hey, that's a bit low. After confirming it again, Lin Zhicheng frowned.

The low number of people admitted to universities means that the overall level of cultural quality on the island is difficult to improve. Although he no longer interferes in specific affairs now, he is still the master of the Nalan Islands after all, so after discovering this situation, Lin Zhicheng is still unconsciously a little worried.

"Actually, it's quite a lot." Seeing Lin Zhicheng's thoughts, and remembering that she brought up this topic, Catherine felt a little guilty and couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Huh?"

"The population of the island is only large, and on average, there are not too many school-age candidates every year." Catherine explained: "In my class, there were only about 30 students in the same class. Among them, more than a dozen people plan to inherit the family business, or go to work as fishermen, or as farmers, or to help in their own shops. In addition, there are 10 people who chose to go out of the island, I don't know if they are going to travel or go out to work, anyway, they don't plan to go directly to university. The rest are the ones who plan to graduate from high school and go directly to university, and if you count me, there are only seven or eight people. A total of four out of seven or eight people were admitted, and this proportion has exceeded 50 percent. ”

"I see."

The population base is not large, and the choices of fresh graduates are relatively diverse, which ultimately leads to the result of 'only four people are admitted'. It wasn't because of the poor quality of education that he was holding back, but after understanding the reason, Lin Zhicheng's heart relaxed.

"Come with me, Katherine, I mean, to that party at Duke Harden's house."

"Huh?"

"I don't have a lot of party experience in the first place. Also, the theme of this party was a bit special, and I had to play a special role at the party, and to be honest, I was really confused and didn't know what to do. Come with me and give me an idea? ”

Anyway, it's not a big deal, and besides, reminding the master to avoid him making a fool of himself at the party is also one of his jobs as a housekeeper, and after thinking about it, Catherine agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
