问题     For anyone who is set on a career in fashion, it is not enough to have succeeded in college. The real test is whether they can survive and become established during their early 20s making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can count for as much as flair(眼光) and creativity.
    Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant breakneck (高速而危险的) speed to prepare for the next season’s collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to cultivate good coverage in newspapers and magazines. It al so 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 essential."
    This may seem far removed from the popular image 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 stamp on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the constraints of price, manufacturability, 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 innovation. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a manufacturer or fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer. Even those students who are most avant-garde (标新立异的) in their own taste of clothes and image may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the main stream of market. They also have to be able to work at both tire exclusively expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.
Initially, many young designers have to ______.
选项 A、hold back their creativity
B、work for department stores
C、change their personal taste in fashion
D、inform to a certain image
答案C
解析 本文的最后一段提供了该题的正确选项的依据，最后一段中表达的意思为：Most young designers...     may need to adopt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market．(设计师不仅要顺应自己老板的风格特点，还需要满足市场需要，因此设计师在开始步人设计行业时还需改变个人喜好。) A)为错误选项，不论何时设计师都应保持创新性；B)、D)两项文中没有提到。
