Have you always dreamed of working in the fashion world, but can’t decide on a profession?

Today we will tell you about 7 fashion professions that you can start today.

1. Stylist. Personal shopper. Image consultant

If we are talking about an image consultant or a personal shopper, then this profession is, to a greater extent, connected with the world of fashion.
The main task is to come up with a wardrobe that will reflect the inner state of a person and will be as relevant and appropriate to the client’s type of appearance.

The image consultant can also specialize only in shopping, that is, he/she helps to select a wardrobe for the required budget, based on the client’s style.

2. Fashion designer

If you decide to become a fashion designer, you have 3 ways:

1. Work in the office of a clothing manufacturer with a permanent salary

This option is chosen by most designers who have just graduated. You start as a technical designer (in Europe this position is called Junior Designer) and after 2 years you will be able to lead the development of a line for a brand. This is the best option for those who want a stable and permanent job, when there is no need to look for clients and there is no money to develop their brand.

2. Work from home or in your own office as a freelancer

This option is for more advanced designers with experience. You do not work for one clothing company, but for several. For example, you can be a freelance designer at Prada, H&M and Cos. Your tasks might be drawing technical sketches for a specific clothing line, developing and coming up with ideas for a collection, or leading the entire process of creating clothes from scratch to the final stages of fitting the finished items on models.

3. Create your own clothing brand

Usually, all beginners in fashion design dream about this option. But not everyone has the money to create things under their own brand. Expect that in the first year your income will only cover expenses, and you will come out on profit in about 2 years after the launch of the brand.

However, this is the only option if you want to become famous in the fashion world. Only in this case your name will be written on the things you create.

3. Interior designer

All interior designers can be divided into 2 categories
Category 1: An interior designer who works in a specialized design bureau

It often happens that an interior designer in a bureau does only a certain part of the work (for example, only plans the layouts or only meets with clients).

Category 2: An interior designer who works freelance

Freelance designers almost always have their own construction team that carries out projects for clients.
