SFD014: The (Sometimes Ugly) Truth About A Fashion Design Career


Listen Later

Having a job as fashion designer glamorous and creative. Honest, it isn’t always that way. Most people don’t talk about this publicly, but Emily Keller is different. Which is why I knew I had to invite her on the show. In this episode, Emily shares her experience working as an employee the perception of working as a designer versus the reality, how to figure out if pursuing fashion as a second career is right for you, and the often limited creativity you’ll actually use in your job.

You will learn:
  • The difference between what you think a fashion designer does and what they really do
  • How creative you really get to be as a designer
  • Pros and cons of working for big runway brands versus smaller lesser known brands
  • The perception of working in fashion versus the reality
  • Tips on pursuing fashion as a second career
  • How to understand what you’re really getting into when you go into fashion
  • Why fashion designers don’t dress well
