^ You've got a nice advantage by knowing three of the biggest languages! I've met someone from Morocco who speaks Arabic, French, English, and Spanish, and he says that there are plenty of high-fashion stores there. However, French (not Arabic) is the main language for economics/commerce in Morocco.

thank goodness for my parents, i say. my mother is spanish, and my father was french, and i was born in the u.s., so that's why i know french, spanish, and english. i'd really love to learn arabic, though. i know bits of it. i can say hello, good morning, god bless, goodbye, and then a few curse words here and there. but only because one of my best friends is lebanese.
there are many high fashion stores in morocco, people here in the u.s. don't seem to realize that!

if you now learned mandarin, wow you'll be unstoppable
I guess it depends on where you want to stand in the fashion world. but mandarin seems to be growing quite alot lately. Japanese isnt bad either if one wants to stand in the asian fashion field.
of course we can't miss out classic italian and french.
They are like the foundation of all.
i don't know italian, but i wish i did, although it's very similar to spanish, so i understand a lot of it and i'm sure if i say something in spanish, someone who only speaks italian would be able to understand me, too.
if only my career were in fashion, though. i work in the fashion industry, but i'm studying neonatal medicine. do you work in fashion?
medical stuff always scared me, i mean i don't think i can study and memorize so much stuff.
I'm prett sure soon or later your multi lingual ability will come very handy, i'm billingual but.. the 2nd language i know (korean) isn't very useful...
i'm in my third year, going into my forth. i was studying poly-sci before and the bush administration has been such a turn off that i just couldn't see myself in poly-sci anymore, so i switched to my true love, medicine. (although i always wanted to be a midwife and just deliver babies, so neonatal suits me.) when i first began college, i was like, no way, i can't be in school that long, i'll fail. but i'm doing well so far, thank god.
i wish i had the courage to study fashion! for now, i just work in fashion and enjoy it.
but korean is a beautiful language! i have many korean friends from h.s.!
i think english is essential but if you learn spanish you could probably understand a lot of french and italian as well. i know that because i speak portuguese (really similar to spanish) and i found it really easy to understand french and italian, lots of the words are almost the same in these 3 languages
i would say italian or french..
and yea, have heard alot about the growing market of China.. and much of my non-chinese friends wanted to take up chinese too..
and i would really love to learn french.. wish i got the time..
I think it also depends on what type of market you want to go into and where you are/will be working and studying fashion in.
If your going to be doing fashion in the U.S. English along with Spanish may be helpful to learn. The rate of spanish speaking people in the country is increasing and you may need to learn the basics if you are selling, or trying to get supplies locally.
If you want to go into international, then study what you think you will need. If you want to work in the European environment, French as well with Spanish (Madrid) I think will help.
If you don't know, then I would go with Spanish. That way it will help you out in the United States, as well with Europe, in terms of working in Spain (Madrid).
