Love the concept of the video and very helpful tips man! Another way to get into the industry is when people set up photography meetups, a great way to network, you meet lots of photographers, models, creatives, clothing brand owners and they can all help guide you in the right direction. For anyone from the the North, Whatsyourtone meet up in manchester is a great start!
@@FashionRoadman could a video on creating contacts during the pandemic be possible? or even any tips. been basically working on pieces all quarentine and want to reach out to similar people but all events are basically cancelled. Any advice?
Believe it or not, just received my internship contract with GQ Taiwan tdy. Ur channel is so inspiring bruh and I will, after watching this video, appreciate my internship even more and try to get the most out of it!!
im personally struggling to find work outside of my city as everything seems to be in London. I mean im trying to set up my own brand at the moment, but id love to just see some behind the scenes stuff at a company
Thank you for this video. It gave me a lot to think about, and as you mentioned, much of this advice could apply to a lot of fields besides styling! I've been interested in fashion most of my life, but I have so many creative interests (photography, styling, art, curating, writing) that I wouldn't know where to begin when it comes to working in the field. I'm a multitasker and I love learning about all types of disciplines, and I wouldn't want to be stuck doing one type of work in my career. Do you have any advice about that?
I think wanting to go into more than one discipline in this day and age is always difficult because people always want to box you into one. But I think if you just try your best to build up your experience in each, then that’ll be enough. After all, facts don’t lie. If you have the experience, you should get the job/role you’re after. But what I will say is with some jobs in fashion, with enough experience in it, it’s pretty easy to move into another. So with Styling for example, if you’ve got enough experience, working on something art/curation based shouldn’t be much hassle
I mostly want to be some sort of fashion icon. Be known for my outfits and how I styled them. I guess you could say I’m asking to be a celebrity but honestly that’s not really what I’m shooting for. I just want to be involved in fashion and be part of the fashion history. Right now I’m trying to brand myself and make a name for myself. I only have a few RU-vid videos but I guess that’s the best way to start? Unless anyone else knows of anything else? I also enjoy doing fashion photography.
You’re lucky because now we are in the internet age you can create your own platform so I’d say RU-vid and Instagram is the best way to go right now as an independent
any tips for getting into the industry with a psychology degree? I wasnt brave enough to take the fashion design pathway and now I am hoping to at least work in the industry.🙏🏽
Well these tips I gave don’t require a degree at all but having one definitely helps. Off the top of my head, a job I can think of using your degree is working with brands to understand the psyche of their customers and attracting more - a form of marketing. I’m not 100% sure what the job is called tbh but roles similar to that would utilise your degree very nicely I imagine!
thank you for your video! it has given me some ideas. i am a blank canvas person that you mentioned in the video. currently i want to be a stylist or a fashion buyer most. hope you could be someone big in the industry!
A shoot with my own clothes?! That's genius!! I can't believe I never thought of this!! Subscribed instantly, you've got some fantastic content right there.
@@Elhombre95382 that’s not sarcasm, I didn’t think of that and I did instantly subscribe. You’re the dick here pal. Whatever happened in your life that makes you read enthusiasm as sarcasm, I’m sorry dude, but don’t project that on others.

thanks for putting out this video! I myself have been interested in breaking into the fashion industry, but I have been studying localization/translation, and we did a lot of writing and researching (and translations), so I'm considering breaking into the industry via magazines and such.. another thing for me is that I am a hobby artist who tends to focus more on drawing outfits... now the issue is, I am now aware of how vast the fashion industry is, but I don't know which part of it is actually for me haha. That said, starting my own brand has been in the back of my mind for as long as I could remember.
Thank you dear❤️you really opened up my mind..especially the styling element included in music videos..a lot artists want to feed off creative energies from each other
Ayo has actually made a video on studying fashion design on the channel so you might want to look at that. My personal opinion is, it depends on the field in fashion you’re heading into. I think some fields definitely require study whereas others, if you have drive you can build your way up without a degree.
Cracking video! I've said it before but I'll say it again in the hope you see it but you're literally the reason I got an Alyx bag because yours looked so good
Hi, really liked this video. Just wanted to know if you were allowed to share what kind of things we should mention when writing an email/ DMing these brands for internship?
How important do you think schooling and the location of where you live impacts getting into the fashion industry and wanting to be a stylist/creative director?
I guess its a rmajor influencing factor, bec as we know you are the average of the 5 people surrounding you, location is also important especially when it comes to fashion you are much more likely to connect in bigger fashion influenced cities, f.e. Berlin, london, paris etc
i live in a really small town (about 7 hours away from nyc, im guessing the best hotspot for getting internships.) since im so secluded i dont think i can find much because there’s nothing local.
So I’m studying Economics at university (not fashion related directly but economics can tie in with anything - especially fashion) and id say the key to balancing everything is just going out of your way and making time for it. If I have 4 hrs free I say “spend 2 studying, 1 mood boarding for a shoot, and 1 working on a RU-vid video idea”. I think you have to just be strict with yourself but if you really want it, you can do it!
I’ve always wanted to do fashion but i also have a passion for helping kids w disabilities and that’s what i work in currently. I really do enjoy fashion and have always had it incorporated in my life. How do i mesh the two,
Thank you sooo much for this! For years I have been wanting to style and due to many detours, I feel like I missed my opportunity(Im 35), but this is the one thing I can no longer ignore. Is the FB for UK members only? Im in LA area.
It’s literally never too late I don’t think! Just keep working hard at it, I’m sure you can do it :) And no, Assistant Stylists is not just for the UK, there’s actually a few LA people.
So... I don't know if this sounds dumb or not, but let's say you're fresh out of fashion school, you've shown your final collection for your last year, you graduated dadada. Do brands accept resumes and stuff or will they hand pick you? Like do you go to the Gucci store and be like "Here's the stuff for the manager" or whatever. Or do you email the brand or DM them on IG?
You apply to the job offers on the websites of the brands. That being said if you go to a major fashion design school and create a buzz, you’ll probably be hand picked. For majority of people, you have to make a good CV and portfolio and use that to apply to the available internships / job offers. There are always jobs to apply to, you can find the many available jobs on things like fashionworkie, LinkedIn, BOF careers etc
The Fashion Archive thank you, I see now. So if I can somehow muster together a portfolio that sets me apart from the rest of the folks and a regular school, there’s a chance of me landing a job? Or do I just have to appeal to that specific brand’s aesthetic eg Gucci’s maximalism or YSL’s skinny pieces.
i'm gonna receive a degree in materials science&engineering in may. i've already applied to many brands for an internships but seems like it's a tough place to get an opportunity. do u have any advise to give?🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m aware that most people that study engineering but want to work in fashion normally become material scientists. Sportswear companies like Nike, Adidas and companies like goretex hire engineers to work on teams testing materials and developing new materials
I’m 15 and i’m getting very much into the fashion instustry i’m working at a clothing shop in Helsinkis kinda fashion central and i’m getting into modelling
