Something a lot of people don’t realize is that designers really don’t make that much money, especially when they’re starting out, and it pretty much stays that way except for the Donnas and Marcs of Seventh Ave.
And because we know there must be hordes of recent Parsons and FIT grads looking for jobs this month (or maybe you’re still looking for a job from last year, because seriously, it happens), consider this fact:
According to CNN, clothing designers for Barbie and Bratz make around $62,000 per year, which is probably more than the Proenza Boys made in their entire career up until their Target deal.
So if you think Miuccia’s purposefully ignoring your e-mails, you could always come up with the next silhouette shift for Barbie Princess.
