Fashion Audio - Tips Learnt

During Monday's session we listened to a fashion audio presented by Ferne Cotton. From that I learnt some tips that will hopefully help when trying to apply for jobs as well as what I need to know before applying.


  • It's 99% hard work
  • trust your instincts and gut feelings
  • there's 1000's of jobs in fashion - different areas and departments
  • Topshop like to update vintage garments and re design them to fit the women of today
  • sports wear is one of the most influential factors of fashion - each member of a football team such as Chelsea has a football kit tailor made for them
  • try out different areas of fashion
  • make sure you KNOW Photoshop and illustrator
  • NEVER leave your designs with a designer - they may steal your ideas
  • learn how to answer the brief
  • the basics are the most important thing
Just few of the areas I could possibly go into:

  • sportswear
  • children swear
  • sample machinist
  • pattern cutter
  • illustrator
  • buyer
  • garment technologist
  • designer 
  • hats
  • footwear
