In the Fashion Industry its not ‘what’ you know but rather ‘who’ you know! Annette Corrie- Director – La Mode College of Creative Industriesfashion expert”With over 10 years experience in the fashion industry, I have worked as a Accessories Fashion Designer for an global fashion company, been a fashion sales rep, a Clothing Designer for a national youth brand, a Ladies-wear buyer for a chain of stores, and I even had my own accessories line that was sold in large department stores. During my career I got to travel overseas 3 times a year to Tokyo, London, Paris, Hong Kong, Sydney and L.A. My role as a Professional Fashion Designer would have to be the most influential role I had out of all my positions. As a Designer I developed a skill to be able to predict what was going to be in fashion next, and what was going to sell! I learnt the importance of knowing your target market, and knowing what people want to wear. This is the most valuable asset any designer can learn. Its not about how good you can draw or sketch, or how good you can sew a garment. Fashion Design is all about knowing what people want to wear and developing a garment ( or accessory) that will sell at the right price to your customer!Some of the most influential people that I have met in the Fashion Industry have never officially studied a Degree in Fashion. I actually did. Yes I studied for 3 years Full time to get a Degree in Fashion Merchandising and Design- and NOT ONCE DID I GET ASKED about it in my job interviews!!! Through numerous Job interviews , Grab A Copy Click here as well as being on the hiring end, I have found that what employers are looking for is this: 1. Passion (for fashion)2. Knowledge of new trends and emerging labels (know your competition)3. Knowledge of Consumer Trends- knowledge of what sells and what the customer wants…4. Not afraid to do what it takes and work their way up5. Knowledge of the fashion industry and retail (yes that retail job will come in handy- its prime fashion experience with your target market you could be designing for!!) I have put this fashion course together from my experience as a successful fashion designer to help others like yourself get into the industry and start their careers.. It includes all the tricks of the trade from someone who has had experience across several different aspects of the fashion industry! This fashion course will also teach you how to start your very own clothing line…. Yes it could be childrenswear, swimwear, eveningwear, streetwear, lingerie, menswear or shoes and accessories!! And no, it doesn’t matter how old you are- whether your 14 or 40- this course will be relevant for you.”The words ‘cannot’ or ‘impossible’ do not exist because if I can, you can- and this fashion course will show you how!It took me quite a few years to collate everything I have learned from the Fashion Industry- from trend research to product design- through to production….then getting your designs on the shop floor.I have now put all of that information, Grab A Copy Click here into a very easy to follow steps. (I just wish that a detailed course like this was available when i first started out!- It would have saved me 3 years of full time study!)
