in this society today you need at least a high school diploma to do well and get jobs. Go back and get the equivilent. A ged. Then get a job or go to college if you want. Just b/c you want to do something that doesn't require much skills doesn't mean to drop out of school!
Fashion work, particularly in Europe, is often a learn on the job proposition. See if you can find work (grunt work with little to no pay) at a fashion house in England or on the continent (Paris or Milan). You will starve at first, but that's how many people without further education and money do it. If you have ambition and talent, and are hardworking, you will get ahead. For art, you could try finding work at a gallery, but you need to be "highly presentable" meaning nice clothes and a high-fashion type look.
