Why Choose
Fashion? When explaining to people that fashion is the sector I want to pursue a career in, I usually get the response that people aren’t very impressed and
instantly think that I will solely be learning about clothes and go on shopping
trips. This perception is very wrong; there are a huge number of amazing jobs
within the fashion industry. For example, most companies currently have a ‘social
media manager’ which highlights how social media is becoming a massive part of
our daily life. Fast fashion is all we know and the children/teens of our
generation are brought up with immediate access to social media platforms. Fashion
enables you to find more about culture and travelling, with countries having
traditional dress and many having interesting rules about fashion and what is
deemed appropriate and unacceptable. Also, if you claim to be disinterested in
fashion and/or degrade the subject, it is part of everyday life, you are
constantly embracing it, whether you are aware or not. Visually, fashion is an
exciting world and jobs such as a visual merchandiser, photographer and
stylists act as a platform for your individual creativity. These are just a few
jobs within the fashion industry and as you can see, they are all very
different and interesting.
Careers in fashion are not just jobs, they are hobbies too!
