Well you should start out by researching different fashion colleges and their qualifications. Also look into the school's reputation in the fashion industry, how many connections they have and what their grads accomplish after graduating. My friends graduated from FIDM/Fashion instyle jackets Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles and they told me that FIDM has an awesome fashion design program! A lot of famous fashion designers graduated from FIDM including one of the founders of Juicy Couture, Kevan Hall, Monique Lhuillier, among others.
