All About The Fashion Industry

A career in the fashion industry means long, hard, yet rewarding hours. To have a passion for the fashion industry is a very unique thing because of how amazing the work you'll do is, and the creative and inspiring people you'll meet. Its not just any ordinary business place where you sit behind a desk and type all day, its hands on work and you can watch your skills and creativity sky rocket.

A career path in the industry can mean you're working for magazines, newspapers, small or large fashion places, sales, and many other things. A photo stylist is a person who works on the photo shoots. That means this person has to be able to get all the background props and color schemes chosen. They also must know what the clothing will be categorized as (sports wear, formal wear, etc.) so that they can choose an appropriate season and back drop for the photo shoot. They're also responsible for making the model stand in different positions depending on how they want the look. The photo stylist has to be very flexible and be willing to work on multiple different shoots a day and have their own props to bring to the table. Another career path you could take would be a Fashion Journalist. This person comes and watches the photo shoots and takes pictures and may send them to their magazine or newspaper company and write about it. This can also include fashion critics and the media portion of the industry.
