I am, i work for a small custom clothing company called trust truth and trinh.

few of my suits design pics are floating around some where in JF=)

but best way to do it if you really are dedicated is this.

1. go to school for it obviously
2. pick what field you want to generalize in and specialize in
3. intern at MANY places, and yes they WILL work you hard until you build some experience.
4. NEVER EEEEVER let any one keep a Portfolio resume. only paper resumes.
Portfolio resumes often get stolen and used.
*hot topic and urban outfitters are NOTORIOUS for stealing intern/applicant portfolios*
5. its a very hard industry if you are pasionate about it dont give up.

remember to be a designer you are going into a HIGHLY competitive and constantly changing work environment.

this industry is highly organic so you have to adapt well and learn to collaborate with others well.

Good luck!
