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
