FASHION POWER FOR GRADUATES NETWORKING
By Isabella Mena
It’s safe to say that final collections for graduates are an open door for a group of professionals in the business to make an impression and window shop what would be a future brand before the garments get archived once again. Some might run with the luck and get spotted right away but the reality for most is to begin planning and searching from start 1.
So what type of navigations can graduates have for their creations to be on the fashion lens with longevity? Making available more opportunities and platforms for these designers to choose how they want to be visualized as, seeing how it can translate to the growing audience and potentially start networking and creating relationships that can lead to a hire.
As for any creator who is trying to establish themselves in the scene, publishing portfolios and by using social media is a good start as well for people to see your work, skills,your creative process and having interactions with stylist, photographers or even creative directors that might be interested in working with you hand in hand and the platforms where you’re seen.
At the end of the day fashion design is not just going to school, getting a degree and for garments to disappear In the closet. There are a lot of talents in the street that could be bringing amazing visions and original ideas to companies. Fashion shouldn’t be about privilege but about talent, skills and a deep perspective of our culture surroundings.
