I design menswear for a fairly prominent brand in Australia (which shall remain anonymous). I first started there in a general admin roll and soon progressed into an assistant designer role.

I went to fashion school but i think what really got me the position was just working hard from the bottom ranks of the company and impressing management with my dedication etc...

And for the poster who said that sewing machines are expensive, they certainly can be but they can also be cheap if you get a very basic one or even a second hand one from ebay. And sewing is easy to learn with the assistance of the internet, books or if you are lucky to know someone who knows how it will only take a few lessons until you become confident.

I am heavily influenced by japanese fashion - a few of my favorite Japanese designers/labels are Diet Butcher Slim Skin, Julius, Lad Musician and of course the more comercial Issey, Comme and Junya...
