WORKING IN FASHION DESIGN

I’m James Wilson and I’m the Head of Fashion Design at City College. I’ve had good jobs and bad in the fashion industry. I’ve worked for big companies and had my own company designing for individual customers. I first did a Fine Arts degree then moved into fashion and now I’m a teacher, so I’m well qualified to advise students when they ask me how to get started in a career in fashion. I tell them
that first they need to find out if it really is the job for them.

Going to your local shopping mall is a great place to start. Find the person who organises the fashion shows that advertise the clothing stores in the mall and let them know that you're interested in helping out at the next one.

To get a wider picture of the business, speak to someone who makes and sells their own designs. They’ll show you the less public side of the business. They might be busy but don’t let that stop you. Find things out! How many hours do they work? How did they learn to make clothes? What’s the toughest part of their job?

One of my students, Alex, works for Toki, a successful designer. Has he done the right thing by going to work for someone else rather than starting his own company? “Working for Toki has added to what I learned at college,” Alex explained. “It's great! Even though the hours are long I can learn from other people’s mistakes. I've learned about tiny but very important points - like the fact that you can’t just design what you want - you need to listen to your customers.”

Shopping with mother?

I’m Cathy Huang and I’m 16. Welcome to my blog. This week I’m writing about shopping with your mother. Thanks for reading!

Have you ever been shopping with your mother? I’d like to hear you say ‘Yes, and it was fun.’ But are you really telling the truth? I went to the shopping centre yesterday with my mum. She wanted to buy me a dress for her birthday party. She’s going to be 50 next weekend. So what’s the problem with that? I hear you ask.

Well, the problem is, my mother always wants to buy me what she wants, not what I want. And we want very different things. I tried on a beautiful red dress, but she said it didn’t fit.   (It was very short!) Then I tried on a long skirt, but she didn’t like the colour. (It was purple!) I was in and out of changing rooms all day and we couldn’t agree on anything. She rolled her eyes and complained about everything I tried on. It was so depressing. And so boring. By 5 o’clock my feet were killing me and I still didn’t have a dress for the party.

Next time Mum wants to take me shopping, I’m going to tell her my room is a terrible mess and I have to tidy it now. I know it’s not very nice to lie, but shopping with my mother is not fun. And, I’ve just seen a fantastic dress on eBay. It’s so chic. I’m going to look amazing at Mum’s party.

Read the letter, then answer the questions below

  Dear Mai,

I’m very pleased that we’re going to be pen pals. I’ll tell you a little about myself, and you can do the same when you write to me.

I live in an area of London called Maida Vale. It’s quite near the centre, but there are parks nearby where I often take my dog, Mickey, for a walk. I live with my parents and my younger brother, Paul. My father works for the post office and my mother has a part-time job as a nurse.

I go to the local comprehensive school, where I have a lot of friends. I like most subjects, but not all of them! In the evening I sometimes visit friends or stay at home and listen to music, and at the weekends I like going swimming or horse-riding.

At the moment I’m working very hard because I have exams soon, so I’m spending a lot of time in the library.

  I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Write soon!

  Best wishes,

  Mary
