You need to be able to sketch and sew, have a good eye for detail and have a good fashion instinct.
As far as education, an AS or BA in Fashion Design will always be very helpful. Many designers are self taught and do make it big, but fashion school does a lot more than just teaching you to sew and make patterns. You can make a lot of connections, get internships, and even career help after you graduate. Some great fashion schools are FIT, FIDM, Parsons etc
living in NYC helps
Personally I’m going to give the Art Institutes a shot and if I feel like it maybe I’ll transfer to a university after I get my associates.
Fashion design or any kind of art related career depends more on talent rather than years of knowledge spent at schools. There are fashion designers that never went to school, but have great experience and ideas to create what people love to see.
But if your asking about school degrees then a bachelor in fashion/apparel design would do.
