How can I work in fashion?
Depending on what you want to do -- from designing to retailing -- there are many paths you can take to get to your destination.
Education is a vital ingredient: many universities offer excellent fashion merchandising courses.
Work experience is another necessary step to working as a professional in the fashion industry. Experience at the retail level (as a sales person in a store) is a great way to get a feel for how consumers buy, mix or reject clothing.
Many students are initially attracted to fashion because it seems like a glamorous business:to some degree it is.
But the majority of clothing and accessories that are designed, manufactured and sold have absolutely nothing to do with the glitzy shows associated with famous designers.
The majority of people working in fashion have behind-the-scenes jobs at less-than-glamorous wages. Regardless, most who work in the industry are charged by its vibrancy and creativity and get rewards other than fame and fortune (a fun job, creative outlet, etc.).
