Fashion Impact: The Business Side of Fashion

Being a young professional trying to break into the industry can be extremely hard, like many young males and females who long to have the dream of working in the fashion industry. Whether it’s styling your favorite celebrity or becoming a buyer for their favorite department store. While watching scripted shows like Designed by Jane and Ugly Betty or reality shows such as The City and The Hills, definitely dramatize what it’s like in the industry. Yes there’s fashion shows, glamour, fabulousness and of course the clothes but like any other industry, you have to work hard and pay your dues. But what about the business side?

When you hear someone say "I want to work in the fashion industry" advertising, marketing and public relations aren’t the first thing that comes to mind. These are careers, which always seems to get looked over for the more glamorous roles like being an editor or modeling and designing.
