Love the concept of the video and very helpful tips man! Another way to get into the industry is when people set up photography meetups, a great way to network, you meet lots of photographers, models, creatives, clothing brand owners and they can all help guide you in the right direction. For anyone from the the North, Whatsyourtone meet up in manchester is a great start!
Very very true! I’ll pin this so a few others can see
We agree, meetups are a great way to get connected!
@@FashionRoadman could a video on creating contacts during the pandemic be possible? or even any tips. been basically working on pieces all quarentine and want to reach out to similar people but all events are basically cancelled. Any advice?
Believe it or not, just received my internship contract with GQ Taiwan tdy. Ur channel is so inspiring bruh and I will, after watching this video, appreciate my internship even more and try to get the most out of it!!
Definitely don’t take it for granted and make sure you always ask questions
That’s so cool! Did you do a degree in fashion? How did you land this opportunity?
Just the video i was looking for
We agree, great information!
The part that’s hard for me is finding other ppl that are into fashion bc where I live everyone dresses like shit haha
The only option in that case is online
Same here :)
On fkg god bruh where you from tho 😭😂
the same here,i swear
SaMe~
Going to take a look at the stylist group! I've always wanted to find a good way to breach into the industry outside of modelling. Trying all aspects!
Literally thank you so much, this is the sign and advice I needed, thank you! and please stay safe out here you're a gem!
Thank you dear❤️you really opened up my mind..especially the styling element included in music videos..a lot artists want to feed off creative energies from each other
Highly appreciated. Love Love LOVED this, i'm also interested in getting into the fashion industry and i feel like this has helped me. Thank you.

Great information, thank you for sharing!
It was really helpful thank you!!
heyy guys writing this to let y’all know right now i’m going to make a big impact on the fashion industry 🤍 xoxo
im personally struggling to find work outside of my city as everything seems to be in London. I mean im trying to set up my own brand at the moment, but id love to just see some behind the scenes stuff at a company
Hey if there's any work regarding fadhion and clothes do ping me.
planning on leaving my job at nordstrom for something bigger and better, this video and channel is so helpful. thank you :)
Cracking video! I've said it before but I'll say it again in the hope you see it but you're literally the reason I got an Alyx bag because yours looked so good
Haha thank you so much! Alyx is one of my favourite brands and I’m very keen to see what Matthew Williams has to offer in the future.
thank you for your video! it has given me some ideas. i am a blank canvas person that you mentioned in the video. currently i want to be a stylist or a fashion buyer most. hope you could be someone big in the industry!
Thanks, I hope I can too
thanks for putting out this video!
I myself have been interested in breaking into the fashion industry, but I have been studying localization/translation, and we did a lot of writing and researching (and translations), so I'm considering breaking into the industry via magazines and such.. another thing for me is that I am a hobby artist who tends to focus more on drawing outfits... now the issue is, I am now aware of how vast the fashion industry is, but I don't know which part of it is actually for me haha. That said, starting my own brand has been in the back of my mind for as long as I could remember.
Same!! I really want to create my own brand, but i dont know where to start
Could you do a video on tips on making the most of your fashion internship?
Great work thanku
Rich content, thank you
Good ideas
This was useful thanks for sharing, also... come on the channel more often 👊🏾😌
Thank you for this video. It gave me a lot to think about, and as you mentioned, much of this advice could apply to a lot of fields besides styling!
I've been interested in fashion most of my life, but I have so many creative interests (photography, styling, art, curating, writing) that I wouldn't know where to begin when it comes to working in the field. I'm a multitasker and I love learning about all types of disciplines, and I wouldn't want to be stuck doing one type of work in my career. Do you have any advice about that?
I think wanting to go into more than one discipline in this day and age is always difficult because people always want to box you into one. But I think if you just try your best to build up your experience in each, then that’ll be enough. After all, facts don’t lie. If you have the experience, you should get the job/role you’re after. But what I will say is with some jobs in fashion, with enough experience in it, it’s pretty easy to move into another. So with Styling for example, if you’ve got enough experience, working on something art/curation based shouldn’t be much hassle
Lola Luna I’m going through that same issue that’s why I’m studying fine arts in college
Hi, really liked this video. Just wanted to know if you were allowed to share what kind of things we should mention when writing an email/ DMing these brands for internship?
Very insightful
❤️
any tips for getting into the industry with a psychology degree? I wasnt brave enough to take the fashion design pathway and now I am hoping to at least work in the industry.🙏🏽
Well these tips I gave don’t require a degree at all but having one definitely helps. Off the top of my head, a job I can think of using your degree is working with brands to understand the psyche of their customers and attracting more - a form of marketing. I’m not 100% sure what the job is called tbh but roles similar to that would utilise your degree very nicely I imagine!
I mostly want to be some sort of fashion icon. Be known for my outfits and how I styled them. I guess you could say I’m asking to be a celebrity but honestly that’s not really what I’m shooting for. I just want to be involved in fashion and be part of the fashion history. Right now I’m trying to brand myself and make a name for myself. I only have a few UA-cam videos but I guess that’s the best way to start? Unless anyone else knows of anything else? I also enjoy doing fashion photography.
You’re lucky because now we are in the internet age you can create your own platform so I’d say UA-cam and Instagram is the best way to go right now as an independent
i live in a really small town (about 7 hours away from nyc, im guessing the best hotspot for getting internships.)
since im so secluded i dont think i can find much because there’s nothing local.
Whats your opinions on going to fashion school, and how helpful do you think a degree is for getting into the industry?
Ayo has actually made a video on studying fashion design on the channel so you might want to look at that. My personal opinion is, it depends on the field in fashion you’re heading into. I think some fields definitely require study whereas others, if you have drive you can build your way up without a degree.
How important do you think schooling and the location of where you live impacts getting into the fashion industry and wanting to be a stylist/creative director?
I guess its a rmajor influencing factor, bec as we know you are the average of the 5 people surrounding you, location is also important especially when it comes to fashion you are much more likely to connect in bigger fashion influenced cities, f.e. Berlin, london, paris etc
I’ve always wanted to do fashion but i also have a passion for helping kids w disabilities and that’s what i work in currently. I really do enjoy fashion and have always had it incorporated in my life. How do i mesh the two,
the filter lmao, ik there was smthing off about your face, but wow, it definately took me sm time to realise
Thank you sooo much for this! For years I have been wanting to style and due to many detours, I feel like I missed my opportunity(Im 35), but this is the one thing I can no longer ignore.
Is the FB for UK members only? Im in LA area.
It’s literally never too late I don’t think! Just keep working hard at it, I’m sure you can do it :) And no, Assistant Stylists is not just for the UK, there’s actually a few LA people.
@@FashionRoadman Thank you for the encouragement. Saludos from Compton :)
I was thinking the same I'm 29 and I thought that it was over for me, loves the encouragement!

What if you live in a small town and everyone in your city dresses the same & doesn't have the same vision as you :/
Universities hate this man!!! 😂
LOL 🤣
Please can people list good fashion/ stylist ? xx
Is it a good point to go to work in clothing like Zara, Bershka, etc to go further in the fashion industry?
My country doesn’t exactly have a fashion ‘scene’ or fashion presence :(
Can you plz give the link for the assistant stylist group
wheres the intro black and white clips from
how do you get into like fashion management ????
I’m looking to become a model. Any advice?
Is your degree fashion related and how do you balance this with ur uni stuff?
So I’m studying Economics at university (not fashion related directly but economics can tie in with anything - especially fashion) and id say the key to balancing everything is just going out of your way and making time for it. If I have 4 hrs free I say “spend 2 studying, 1 mood boarding for a shoot, and 1 working on a UA-cam video idea”. I think you have to just be strict with yourself but if you really want it, you can do it!
@@FashionRoadman safee appreciate that ur doing a hard course and still find time
So... I don't know if this sounds dumb or not, but let's say you're fresh out of fashion school, you've shown your final collection for your last year, you graduated dadada. Do brands accept resumes and stuff or will they hand pick you? Like do you go to the Gucci store and be like "Here's the stuff for the manager" or whatever. Or do you email the brand or DM them on IG?
You apply to the job offers on the websites of the brands. That being said if you go to a major fashion design school and create a buzz, you’ll probably be hand picked. For majority of people, you have to make a good CV and portfolio and use that to apply to the available internships / job offers. There are always jobs to apply to, you can find the many available jobs on things like fashionworkie, LinkedIn, BOF careers etc
The Fashion Archive thank you, I see now. So if I can somehow muster together a portfolio that sets me apart from the rest of the folks and a regular school, there’s a chance of me landing a job? Or do I just have to appeal to that specific brand’s aesthetic eg Gucci’s maximalism or YSL’s skinny pieces.
i'm gonna receive a degree in materials science&engineering in may. i've already applied to many brands for an internships but seems like it's a tough place to get an opportunity. do u have any advise to give?🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m aware that most people that study engineering but want to work in fashion normally become material scientists. Sportswear companies like Nike, Adidas and companies like goretex hire engineers to work on teams testing materials and developing new materials
