Fashion is a hard business.There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season's collections.It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy."We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is." says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St.Martin's School of Art in London."And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary."
This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won't be slow in introducing students to commercial realities."We don't walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price, producingability, marketing and so on."
Almost all fashion design is done to a brief.It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.
What does the underlined "this" refer to?
A. Lydia Kemeny's opinion.
B. The warning to the young designers.
C. The real situation in fashion industry.
Which one is correct?
What does walk our foot on mean? Does it mean "destroy?
What does "All fashion is done to a brief" mean?
Thank you for your help!
