Jobs In The Fashion Business.

Someone made a comment on my blog yesterday about jobs in the Fashion Industry.  They said that there are jobs in the industry for costume designers for small screen productions, films and theater productions.  They are absolutely right.  There are so many jobs in this business that you might not even think of.  There are designers whose sole job is to design hang-tags for garments.  Or designers for fabrics and graphic artists who develop prints.  The Fashion Institute Of Technology in NYC also know as "F.I.T." has many areas of study that you might not even think about.  There are basically 3 areas that you would look into.  Marketing, Production, and Design.  Contact them to get a copy of their courses curriculum and you will find many ideas of what direction you can take. 

Blogging During The Holidays.

I know, I know, I have been remiss.  The holidays are here and instead of keeping up with my biog I am shopping. I like to think that I maintain my discipline at all times, but sadly, I do every once in a while fall down on the job.  Well I will make sure I keep it up. 

I have exciting news!!  I just signed on a new licensing agreement for my company so now we are going to be producing a new collection.  This year I will be able to tell you how I am getting my existing business to a new level and launching a new business at the same time.  You will get to see how the approach is different for each line.  The first order of business is planning and organizing.  You can never plan too much.  However, do not let the planning stage stop you from moving forward.  Sometimes people spend so much time planning that they never get started.  There is a saying "Ready, Fire, Aim".  Which means get moving and adjust throughout the process.

So right now I am getting ready, planning, organizing, and firing simultaneously.  Keep following my progress and I will let you know how it works.
