Overheard a student say fashion design is just drawing pretty dresses
Was at a coffee shop near Parsons last month. Two students behind me were talking. One said fashion design is just art for people who can't paint real pictures. That got under my skin. Design is about construction, fabric behavior, fit adjustments. I spent 4 hours last week adjusting a single sleeve cap curve. Has anyone else dealt with people thinking this is all just sketches and pretty colors?

Did they even know what a sleeve cap is before you told them?

I mean, I barely know what a sleeve cap is myself half the time (and I've been sewing for years now). Had to look it up again just the other day when I was fixing an old shirt, which is pretty embarrassing for someone who claims to know what they're doing. So yeah, I'm probably the last person who should be judging anyone else's sewing vocabulary.
