Get Educated
If you can afford to pursue an education in the fashion world, by all means, do so! Work hard in school to learn what you need to about the fashion world. If you can’t afford to go to school, that doesn’t mean that you can’t get educated about the fashion world. Spend some time in your local library reading as many books about fashion as you can.

Don’t Wait
If you are going to school, a lot of people think that it puts a pause button for the rest of your career. However, as most people in the fashion world (and any field) will tell you, most places will not hire you with a degree alone. If you can find work in the fashion field while you’re in college, do so. Don’t wait to start working until after you graduate.

Work Hard
Do as much as you possibly can while you’re younger. The harder you work while you’re young, the more determined you’d look to future employers. Don’t tell yourself that because you got one job you no longer need to work hard. Getting a job is the first step, especially in the fashion world, when making a name for yourself is everything.

Do Anything You Can in the Field
It doesn’t matter what it is—whether you’re getting coffee for a designer or writing a fashion blog. No matter what you’re doing in the field, if you’re doing something, you’ll have experience. It can be the smallest thing, but it will help you in the long run!

Bulk up Your Resume
Don’t just do one job and call it a day! Pick up as many jobs, no matter how small, just to bulk up your résumé. They may seem small and inconsequential, but the longer your résumé is, the more experience you’ll have, and the more you’ll attract employers in the fashion world.

Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.
Write a Resume
On the same note, if you don’t have a résumé, write one. If you want to get jobs in the fashion world, you need a résumé that is going to blow the minds of everyone you apply for. It may seem like something easy to do, but you’d be surprised at the amount of people who don’t even have that prepared!
