by

So you love fashion—but fashion design? Not so much. And that has you wondering what kinds of other fashion careers might be right for you. As a fashion-phile with practically zero designing skills myself, I’ve struggled with this very dilemma (I’ve cycled through various fashion internships from styling to PR before finally arriving at fashion writing).

Luckily, we’ve got our first-ever conference, “How to Make It in Fashion,” coming up to help you out. And one of the panels is devoted to alternative careers in fashion.

Here’s what we have in store for you:

Fashionista is excited to host its first ever day-long event, How to Make It in Fashion.

This isn’t just another conference where you leave with a goodie bag and nothing else. (Although there will be a great one.) Along with tips on networking, alternative career paths, and plain old inspiring success stories, you’ll have a chance to actually talk one-on-one with many of our speakers (including Zac Posen, the Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine, Rebecca Minkoff and more) as well as Fashionista editors about how to kick-start your career or take it to the next level. You’ll get real, take-home advice, make connections, and who knows? Maybe you’ll take the first step towards your dream job.

All the deets and how to sign up, right this way.

Meet the New Wave of Red Carpet Designers

by

With the Oscars imminent, awards season, also known as red carpet season, is coming to an end. And the season has become almost as important to designers as it has to actors. There are of course always the mainstays like Elie Saab, Giambattista Valli, Armani Privé, Marchesa, J. Mendel, Reem Acra, and Oscar de la Renta. In fact, we’d bet money on all of the above being answers to the inevitable “who are you wearing” question this coming Sunday, as they have been since what seems like the beginning of time.

But over the past couple of years, there have been some new names in the red carpet conversation.

From Erdem to Alexandre Vauthier, click through to learn a little more about the new wave of red carpet designers (so you’ll be an expert on all 10 of them before the Oscars)!
