1. Start Your Own Business
It’s 2015. If you want to start your own fashion business, you have the resources to do so. With the help of the Internet and social media, you can start a clothing line, a blog, or even a YouTube channel. It may start out as a hobby, but it can turn into a business!
2. Find an Internship
If you have a list of places that you’ve always dreamt of working at, find how to apply for internships for those companies. You may just get your dream job before you’re even out of college! If you dream of working for one of the biggest companies rather than starting your own, this route is the way to go!
3. Learn
The more you know about your industry, the further you’ll get in it. You may want to rely on hands-on experience at a job, and while that’s great, you definitely need more than that. Read every book you can about the topic, by people who have already accomplished what you aspire to do. The more you know about fashion, the more you’ll impress potential employers!
4. Find a School That Works for You
It can be incredibly hard to find the perfect school for you when you want a career in fashion. There are a lot of different options and choices, and then there’s peer pressure from friends and family telling you to go to certain schools. Find the perfect choice for you, whether it’s a state school with a fashion program or a school that simply specializes in fashion.
Discover the mystique and charm of historical garments with our carefully curated inspiration from the medieval era. If you're seeking authenticity for a theme party or costume event, here are some truly renaissance outfit ideas that will transport you back in time. Evoke the spirit of grand festivities with fashion that celebrates tradition and craftsmanship. Embrace a different period, dress up and have fun!
5. Work Your Way up
When you’re first starting out, you probably don’t want to do things like get people coffee and run errands, but that’s how you’ll advance to better and higher jobs. It may not be where you want to start, but it will help get you where you want to go.

6. Find a Mentor and Support System
No matter what career you’re starting, finding a mentor should be one of your first priorities. After you’ve found a mentor who can provide advice and help during those tough decisions, find friends who are going after the same career as you. A lot of times we’re taught to fight other women for the career we want, when in reality we can all cheer each other on as we achieve our goals.
7. Be Nice
I once had a professor who told me something that still sticks with me today. She said, “You’ll be surprised with how far you’ll get just by being nice.” A lot of the time, we’re taught to be cutthroat to get where we want in life, especially in the fashion industry, but that doesn’t need to be the case.

GreyDivas: I love Fashion and go shopping in my closet to invent new creative styles. How many of you have developed different ways to wear a tube top. This is a multipurpose must have. I use them for headgear, belts and etc.
Julianne: I love guitar and I want to be a musician but I also love fashion and art and writing and cooking and I know I probably will have to only chose one when I get older... So many decisions!
Misty: @heenaglitterpink those are normal feelings and fears to be nervous. You are normal girlfriend ! Don't let those things stop you , face them head on. I'm 41 and I still get nervous about certain things. Never let it hold you back. You all can do it, put your whole heart into your goals and you can't go wrong and NEVER care what anyone thinks of you , don't let that stop you.
Misty: @Julianna & Elli.. You girls can be anything you put your mind to. You don't have to pick just one Julianne, you can do it & don't let anything hold you back from your dreams! I wish you both nothing but the best!
