Careers in Fashion

Careers in the Fashion Industry

Overview of the Industry

Fashion offers some of the most exciting, challenging and fascinating careers. It also demands hard work and dedication. Few positions offer a 9-5 workday.

The seasonality of the industry can result in hectic periods followed by relatively slow times.

Employees tend to change companies frequently, but this is also a way to climb the career ladder.
