I found this audio handout very interesting and helpful, it gave me a good insight into the world of Fashion and made me think of a few things about my own career. 7 things that were particularly brought to my attention were:
1) The incorporation of celebrities in the world of Fashion is HUGE!
2) There are 100's of jobs within the Fashion industry and jobs within jobs such as hats-colours-fabrics and decoration
3) NOBODY giving advice on the audio tape actually ended up where they wanted to be but they are all very happy with what they are doing now! Don't write of major parts of the Fashion industry until you have tried them.
4) The well known names of the Fashion industry we know of and hear are just the tip of the iceberg.....there are so many more out there.
5) Be realistic and prepared to work, organised and competitive!
6) Smaller jobs are available within the industry such as design assistant, pattern cutter and Fashion stylist.
7) Work experience is vital- companies will choose people who they know can do the job and have seen before over someone they have never seen work no matter how qualified wither of them are.
I also learnt from this audio tape one very wise and true fact............Skill increases with age while designs come and go!
