WORKING IN FASHION DESIGN
I’m James Wilson and I’m the Head of Fashion Design at City College. I’ve had good jobs and bad in the fashion industry. I’ve worked for big companies and had my own company designing for individual customers. I first did a Fine Arts degree then moved into fashion and now I’m a teacher, so I’m well qualified to advise students when they ask me how to get started in a career in fashion. I tell them
that first they need to find out if it really is the job for them.
Going to your local shopping mall is a great place to start. Find the person who organises the fashion shows that advertise the clothing stores in the mall and let them know that you're interested in helping out at the next one.
To get a wider picture of the business, speak to someone who makes and sells their own designs. They’ll show you the less public side of the business. They might be busy but don’t let that stop you. Find things out! How many hours do they work? How did they learn to make clothes? What’s the toughest part of their job?
One of my students, Alex, works for Toki, a successful designer. Has he done the right thing by going to work for someone else rather than starting his own company? “Working for Toki has added to what I learned at college,” Alex explained. “It's great! Even though the hours are long I can learn from other people’s mistakes. I've learned about tiny but very important points - like the fact that you can’t just design what you want - you need to listen to your customers.”
