Invest Time In Exploring The Fashion Industry

First and foremost, make sure that you know which part of fashion grabs your maximum interest. The fashion industry is huge and may be divided into the following categories: 

Designing

• Accessory Design: Create pieces like jewellery, handbags, or scarves that steal the show. 
• Fashion Design: Sketch, create, and develop clothing lines. You never know if you become a tough competition for others. 

Production 

• Sourcing Specialists: You will identify and negotiate with suppliers to provide you with materials and do the manufacturing.  
• Technical Design: Spend your day transforming sketches into technical blueprints for garment construction.

Business and Retail 

• Fashion Retail Management: Supervise the operations of department stores or fashion boutiques. 
• Fashion Marketing: Create brand awareness and promote fashion products through your social media accounts.

Communications and Media 

• Fashion Photography: Capture the essence of clothing and accessories through photos that leave everyone startled and compelled to purchase them. 
• Fashion Journalism: Have a knack for words? Then, pursue fashion journalism, where you can write about new fashion trends and designers and be a part of industry events.
• Fashion Styling: Put together close-knit outfits for photoshoots, celebrities, influencers or everyday people.

Create An Impressive Resume

Once you realise, what department reflects your passion, make your way towards creating an impressive resume with help, for instance, Resume Builder on Jooble. It should display your skills and expertise in the area to make the recruiters schedule an interview and hire you on the spot. 

Adhere to the following steps:

A Strong Headline 

The headline of your profile will be the first thing to be viewed by the hiring manager. Don’t take it for granted or place your name in a fancy font. Try your best to produce a strong headline. Mention your career goals and fashion expertise. Like “Experienced Fashion Merchandise” or “Aspiring Fashion Designer”.

Present A Detailed Summary 

The next step is to present a detailed summary. The details should not be restricted to revolve around your past professional experience. You must summarise your relevant skills, passion about fashion, and educational background. Provide examples of how you achieved your goals, such as how you helped the previous company, like by increasing their online sales by 15% through targeted social media campaigns. 

The Game Of Keywords 

Nothing works well without the usage of keywords. The same game has to be played in job hunting too. Your profile should have the keywords that the fashion recruiters highly use. This will boost your discoverability and assist them in learning about you when they search for candidates. 

Attach A Link To Your Work 

How will you earn the trust of the hiring manager? You know about your interest, but it’s them you have to convince. The solution is simple. Attach a link filled with examples of your work to your profile. Whatever you have made, be it a fashion portfolio, design samples or blogs, link and highlight them. If your profile is opened by the employers, the link will be sufficient to tell them about your abilities and creative vision. 

Conclusion 

Building a career in the fashion industry is no rocket science. Just identify which line holds your interest and build a profile that no fashion recruiter can ignore. Happy job hunting on Jooble!

We have all resorted to our love for nature and the outdoors as a result of the current socially limiting measures. There is something magical now about going on a daily long walk, it allows us to appreciate our surroundings and take a moment from the overwhelming reality many of us are facing. Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele has managed to read our mind and nourish this current love of ours through Gucci’s latest campaign.

Gucci Winter in the Park features Vanessa Kirby, Alexa Chung and Celeste in beautiful vibrant outfits in the enchanting British parks of London. The personalities chosen, images presented, clothing released and tonalities captured encompass many of the feelings one gets when taking the time to go outside and reconnect with nature. It takes us into the winter wonderland of fashion and presents a strong revival of the 60s and 70s style.

Through the comeback of iconic fashion elements we thought we had forgotten about, such as its Jackie 1961 soft leather bag, bell-bottom trousers with strong original patterns and statement oversized sunnies.

The campaign shot by Angelo Pennetta captures the beauty of a winter day showing us the eccentric yet calming style that characterises it, especially in the green walks of London.

Each photograph captures the essence of Romanticism and nostalgia, proving us that garments and stylistic choices of the past sometimes have a stronger impact on the modern and futurism-centred womenswear.

Smart yet rebellious, fun yet elegant, colourful yet monotone. Gucci deserves all of our attention through its latest releases and this is undoubtedly one that will mark our winter wardrobe and maybe change our perception of Gucci’s classicism from now on.

Fendi represented one of the few brands that had opted to reveal its Fall Winter 2021 collection with a runway show including an audience but due to the further implementations of Covid-19 measures in Milan wasn’t able to do so. Nevertheless, the label decided to carry on its show without an audience, in the form of a video and through the modern vision of Silvia Venturini Fendi, which resulted as an innovative success.

The high-speed menswear fashion show that was characterised by its retro-futuristic outlook and fashionably pragmatic looks demonstrated the re-invention of the current fashion landscape. Fendi redefined winter fashion with looks that highly concentrated on the brand’s authenticity but with a shift towards comfort alongside our post-pandemic reality.

The classicism of the brand was incorporated into staple pieces such as puffer jackets and shearling coats which were accompanied by functional garments such as neutral-toned pyjamas and footwear. A curious detail of the collection, that undoubtedly represents Silvia Venturini Fendi’s vision of fashion versatility, being able to take an indoor look outdoors without losing the sense of style and exclusivity given by each individual piece.

It could be said that this was one of our favourite aspects of the show. Instead of focusing on what could’ve been and mourning the fashion elements that solely focused on our public sphere the Italian fashion house highlighted the importance of moving forwards. It encompassed the evolving trend of lounge-ready clothing and made staples out of the originality of a ‘new normal’.

Some of the most show-stopping looks included playful artwork that purposefully upgraded from the traditional logo approach. An example being the cursive Fendi lettering from the collaboration with Noel Fielding of ​look 23 ​or the multicoloured pattern of ​look 25​. As explained by the designer herself to Vogue this reflected the increasing stylistic individuality we are witnessing :

“To avoid that fashionista attitude, I like to consider menswear through many different men who keep their personality… I think in the future, fashion is going to be more individualistic, and I wanted to keep that idea in the show.”

The success of the show wasn’t only due to this new outlook on menswear but also to its presentation. The show’s concept and video which was created by Nico Vascellari was everything but common. It attracted us from its inception, the vocal narration of Silvia Venturini Fendi gave it a personal touch that could often be missed due to the lack of human presence in the audience, and the electronic soundtrack by Not Waving perfectly complemented the futuristic style of the collection. The scenery that was defined by optimism and optical illusion was also a fresh aspect, however, at times the complexity of this visual concept and matching colourway distracted us from the looks themselves.

NYC brand Area have brought their new ready to wear collection, Ready-To-Wear-01, to life with the help of vogue royalty. The collection and campaign were released to the company’s renovated site last week and fit to the current climate of Covid with the feature of a few crystal-adorned masks.

The face of the campaign is Leiomy Maldonado, Afro-Puerto Rican activist, choreographer and vogue dancer titled the ‘Wonder Woman Of Vogue’. The legendary dancer is known for her world class vogue status in the dance world, her choreography and her appearances on Pose and dance competition web series Legendary. In a series of videos and photos, Leiomy sports the collection’s dazzling outfits and accessories with duckwalks and poses, flaunting the label’s party-ready function to ‘Funny Munny’ by Byrell The Great.

Area shares its name with the famous manhattan nightclub from the 80s, and shares its energy too, as founders Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Pansczczyk took inspiration from the club’s renowned fashion, art and performance when they started the brand in 2014. There’s no better way to show this inspiration than with an esteemed member of the Ballroom scene – a subculture born and raised in the city and known for its fashionable scenes.

And Leiomy’s dancing shows off the collection better than any model could – vogue being a dramatised form of the way models pose, and for such a lively, glittering collection nothing sells the crystal embellishments like movement. Against the simple grey background, the monochrome pieces come to life with retro grain and shimmer.

This move is another contribution to vogue’s new recognition, as Area is one of many fashion houses using big Ballroom scene names in campaigns and launches in recent years. It makes perfect sense that this idea is making its way across the fashion world, as the western youth attempts to ditch heteronormativity and gender boundaries, and such influential scenes as the vogue one are finally getting the acknowledgment they deserve.
