St. Joseph, MO, Fashion Schools: Career Training in the Wild West

St. Joseph, Missouri is named for Joseph Rubidoux, a not-so-famous fur trader who settled a piece of land and named it after his patron saint (or possibly himself). Since its founding in 1827, the pioneer city has instigated many fashion trends, not all of them involving raccoon-fur hats. The popularity of western shows and movies like "The Great Train Robbery" influenced 19th century fashion, and towns like Saint Joseph's were right at the forefront.

Missouri: Colorful History, Colorful Design

"St. Joe's" sits about 30 miles north of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. The home of several colleges, St. Joseph, MO, boasts a long and colorful history that might inspire fashion design students interested in the lifestyles and legends of the American West.

The westernmost point accessible by rail until after the Civil War, St. Joe's was the jumping-off point for the Pony Express between 1860 and 1861. In 1882, St. Joseph, MO, received another moment of historical attention when the notorious train robber Jesse James was killed within the city limits. Today the outlaw's home is maintained as a museum, and visitors can still see the bullet hole from the fateful shot that killed him.

Want a fashion career that courts the outlaw in us all, or pays homage to the wildness of the American spirit? Get your career training at one of the fashion schools in St. Joseph, MO.
