How to Break into the Fashion Industry with Alexa Chung | S1, E1 | Future of Fashion | British Vogue - Розваги
now the real question is how do you become Alexa Chung haha!
i love how this video is talking about people who love fashion but do not need to come from a privileged family. Yet it contradicts when Kane talks about how many internships he's had and how they were unpaid. If you come from a family that is not wealthy how do you afford working for free?? Fashion is about luxury and luxury equals money and that's just the sad truth.
I read a lot of stories and most of them get side hustles sleep on people's couches it's no joke at all
@@ujuazuya9180 true
It’s called hard work. Intern and work a second job. I must say, it IS interesting how you assume he’s contradicting himself, just because he interned and didn’t have loads of money .
@@Americansikkunt Right? like maybe he actually got a job...
we hustle ;)
The fashion industry is worth 20+ billion but all the money goes to the top positions, [super]models and celebrities and rarely trickles downs. People who work in fashion are so poorly paid, especially in the big cities where the cost of living is extortionate - London, New York, Paris and Milan. You are not paid proportionally to what you need to survive. Unfortunately, that is what their market rate is worth and what makes fashion such a difficult career path to choose whether it's designing and creative or head office. It's also one of the few career paths where luck and who you know is a more important factor than in other industries, not just hard work.
+Chris L Thank you for saying it like it is, very refreshing! :)
+Chris L
This is the nature of entertainment and luxury industries. There is very little middle ground between the highly successful/established and the startups that look for their one big break.
+Chris L There's just wayyyyy too much ass kissing to make it anywhere in the fashion industry.
+Chris L
Chill dude, if you are good you get the job, even if you know noone...
People who really get the big money are people who don't care about the money, they do their jobs with love of the job, and not because they want the money... What you say is just self-contradiction, and untrue...
And you know this how? Your own observation or actual experience or other people's experience?
Hello, my name is Delfina I'm a 15 years old girl from Argentina and I dont really know if someone will take the time to read this but this video made me emotional in so many contexts because for me, fashion is the biggest way to express yourself even when words aren't enough. Just like Alexa said earlier, my parents are not supportive of me following anything related to this beautiful world as a career and it pains me so much because it is everything I really want 100% for sure in life. I would love to put my hands in work and create colored feelings and magical trends but I dont know how to strart to, and I'm also at the age where most of the important people of this industry started *which scares me to death*, + study abroad is my dream and I'd love to know if someone with enough experience could tell me some colleges around the world with a good way of teaching in this matter. Alexa, if you happen to read this *fingers crossed* you are my Jane Birkin and I truly adore you.
thank you, Delfina x
Sometimes you just have to live for yourself and do what makes you happy.(except from breaking the law and stuff but I'm sure you know that haha!) Even if it's not what your parents think is best maybe you will gain motivation from trying to prove them wrong! :)
I don't know about which collages to look at though, sorry! D:
Good luck and all that jazz.
Also things like the art and fashion industry are quite intimidating to me D:
I'm 17 and don't know what I'd like to do/if I want to go to university or collage, but definitely something crafty/arty I'm thinking
Agghh thank you so much! Such a nice words💘💘💘💘 hope you find what gets you going !!
+delfina kauffmann oyeee pero en Argentina la industria de la moda está en un buen momento, al menos eso se aprecia desde Chile. Si quieres ser diseñadora, tener un título universitario no es un requisito escrito en piedra!
Si que se yo, tendria que ir a una escuela con prestigios, lo que pasa que ya en si es complicado ser alguien en la industria, mas en Argentina ! 💋
she completely side-stepped her question regarding whether you need money to get into fashion
Maybe she simply doesn’t know the answer
You do not need money, rep fashion even though illegal can be an easy break on a budget. Rick Owens for $100Aud compared to $800 it’s affordable uses the same materials and factories if you find trusted and talented sellers
No, she didn't; she answered it.
Noooooooooo you don't need to study at a super college to make it..... (just casually studied at Central saint martins)
+Ne la And next week's episode... they go to Central Saint Martins!
+Sohail Sabri It's not only about how good you are, I could be amazing enough for the industry but if I'm broke and from a foreign country there's no way I'm getting in a big fashion school. It's naïve to think it's just about hard work.
+Isabel Fernandez lo de que seas de otro país no creo que sea tan decisivo (see russian oligarchs' girlfriends) pero si no tienes $, then yes you are done for.
+Sohail Sabri we always have to keep in mind that life is never fair... but that should not make us to scared to try to go where we want to be
+Rem Winks That's true and I hate to be that overly-pessimistic person but in order to show that you are talented or passionate about your work you need a platform to showcase it first, and in fashion it's really tough to have that platform if you don't have a lot of contacts or come from a wealthy background. I think we have to thank social media for making it easier to get your name out there but it's still tough if you don't "mess with the right crowd".
the way to break into the fashion industry if you are poor - be young, slim, very beautiful, bold and network your way up to small gigs, then keep going. But make sure you start at like 15 years old.
Anonimal how do to start doing that? get back to me if you know...
im 15, please can you tell me more? i live in north england so nowhere near london- how would i start networking?
Network through social media, it is the best we have in this generation and getting scouted online is becoming a much bigger platform.
I'm 16 ..... plz tell me how I'm going to start? ??? Please. ...need help
@@shamsunnaher1214 someone told me to do internship in your hometown but I will say that you don’t get paid for doing internships just a heads up
So, YES! You definitely need money to make it in the industry. Especially in London.
It makes me sad I’m 15 and I want to become a fashion designer but knowing my dream won’t come true because of all the debt and cost
20 20 hey, not to be annoyingly positive or anything, but you’re only 15! You have your whole life to succeed and achieve your dreams. I know the odds are stacked against you, but don’t say it can’t happen. Who knows, life is crazy.
@@clediabanobre8785 i'm the same way, i don't come from a wealthy family but i'm working really really hard to get the money. hard work and dedication are key.
hey everybody in the comment section! I will give you the key that will help you achieve your dreams:
Unapologetically Ambitious by Shellye Archambaeu.
although she writes about becoming a business owner, the main juice is how she did that.
And that technique can be used for every type of carreer path, whether Fashion designer, Writer, or anything else creative!
I believe you all can achieve your dreams, even if the odds are stacked against you. You are the one who can create your own luck and power, you just have to believe in yourself, plan and take action.
so how r u paying ur rent and food while doing all those years of internship where u get "payed" with knowlege...!? never really figured that out...
marcella warkid Mom and Dad of course!
@@Sy-un2qv A lot of them have another job as well.
Majority like myself work another job till we don’t anymore
coffee shop ,waiters, bar tender
selling you old clothes
This makes me feel so much better about currently studying textiles at uni. Thankyou vogue!!
i'm so glad this series exists - you are just reaffirming everything i love about fashion, thank you thank you thank you!
This is brilliant, Alexa! Excited for more!
I hadn't heard of Christopher Kane before this but I'm so glad I watched him. He gave great advice and he seems SO nice.
Alexa Chung is famous for being famous. I mean name one thing of substance this girl has done in fashion. Interview Gisele Bundchen!
+loveharrydaily ... did you not watch the video ...
+loveharrydaily clearly, British Vogue thought differently......
This is so important! Thank you, Alexa. When I tell people that I want to go on to do my Masters in Fashion Psychology I am faced with endless negative responses. I love that you are working to break these views of the fashion industry as being frivolous and rather, showing how important fashion is in shaping and reflecting society.
Christopher Kane seems like such a genuine lovely guy, so great to see him doing what he loves.
This is so great. I wish this was broadcast on TV somehow so more people will be informed on the fashion industry. I appreciate this content so much!! x
Love this chilly, elegant and aesthetic mood this video puts me through; the scenes captured, the filter and Alexa's voice.
incredible! this really gives an insight into the depths of the fashion world which you rarely get to see. love love love
loving this series so far! I feel like my eyes have been opened to the world of fashion, I love it x
I could watch this series over and over. To think that i cant love alexa any more!! She is just a ray of sunshine! x
I love you Alexa and I'm so happy and grateful that you did this series!❤️
So incredibly insightful, beautifully shot and so much respect for Alexa Chung. Can't wait for more videos from this series British Vogue!
Found this series in college and coming back for both nostalgia and entertainment. Love this series!
I'm so excited! I can't wait for the next episodes
Alexa I love everything you do, I find this super empowering
It was amazing I loved it. Keep doing them because they're so interesting and helpful!
Loved this! Seing Christopher Kane speak at length was wonderful!
I absolutely love this already. This is such an important series for people who want to branch into the fashion industry. Thank you Alexa + Vogue!
As a fashion student this was so inspiring to watch, such lovely positivity and an optimistic attitude towards new designers, Alexa you're my fave
How’s the fashion going?
I forgot how amazing this series was! I hope Vogue comes out with a series 3.
Fashion has never been so accessible, Thank you Alexa and thank you VOGUE!
This is awesome, Alexa. So needed for kids today who want to find a different creative outlet!!
I am so excited for this..finally !
this series is so informative! finally going to be brave enough to try talk my parents into letting me study fashion next year, they've been against it because of the price. THANK YOU ALEXA & VOGUE!!
This is such a great an fascinating series! More!!!
Im looking forward for more episodes :) Thanks Alexa, you're golden
thank you so much for this documentary with Alexa !! ♥
All very well but how did he eat, pay his rent etc while he was getting paid with knowledge? Would it be presumptuous to think Mummy&Daddy bank was funding? Nothing wrong with that but not buying the alleged profoundness and the 'believe in yourself and the world is yours' moral. Bills do not get paid with mottos.
+lobby boy Exactly, it's damaging to present this idea that you can exist on nothing, the reality is most people would be homeless! Unfortunately once you leave university you still need to intern and the only way to do this is to be supported by your parents. If you don't have this support you have to take any job just to continue living. It's difficult enough for students that live at home let alone those that have moved out.
lobby boy It’s not “belief in yourself” and it will work. It’s “work hard and get it done”. Way too many people jumping to conclusion in these comments...Peasants!
Love Love Love Alexa! Can't wait for the next episode!
This is absolutely fantastic ! Can't wait for the next episode ...
Love this! excited for episode two
So excited about this new series! Yay, thank you Alexa x
Talents in fashion can truly mobilize a lot of creative energies that bring the best from among diverse possibilities! Anyone with the passion to express the inner artist can truly make the difference and offer alternative communication from the here and beyond!
Loved this so much! Can't wait for more!!
So inspiring, absolutely love it! x
Love this, want more.
Yesss !! This is so great I love it, it aligned with my thoughts and answered all my questions!! X
been looking forward to this!
Love this series already!
the best part about this interview is the comments.
This is what I need right now, thank you!
Best series ever made! I fell in love right into it
I really appreciate how this series looks more at the engine of the fashion industry, rather than just the finished products.
Still legitimate, still current, great content and well shot. Thank you!
Finally! Been waiting ages for this. ❤️
This is so good! I really like it
this seems like a great series:-) so excited
ahhh I love it!! Alexa's just so amazing!
Love these videos, it is so interesting to watch and learn about. x
Been waiting for this!!👏🏽
Can watch this over and over
This is the first thing that I have seen on the Vogue channel which is actually interesting and informative and well produced. Alexa is great; chatty, down to earth, inquisitive, while looking effortlessly stylish throughout. I am really looking forward to the next part.
Aboutsloutly fantastic Alexa!! Loved loved this!! Cant wait for the next one!! Well done you! Your such a great role model keep up the awesomeness work!! X💚
Love this so much!! I want to work in the fashion industry now ❤️
Alexa I am so inspired by your videos! As a student at Parsons I recognize that fashion is more than just clothes; it is a bunch of words each with a specific role, and its so wonderful.

Thanks for the video Alexa
This was cool, excited to see more.
Love it! Thank you!
I'm watching this since morning!!! I love Alexa!
This was excellent:)
I want her to have her talk show again, I spent most of my summer watching it when it was on and used to rush home from school to atleast catch the last ten minutes.
So excited for this.
brilliant video!
I woke up to this yayyyy :) so excited for this series.
I'm watching this since morning!!! I love Alexa
It's great to see something like that !
can't wait for the next episode!!
Alexa you are my idol, I am so excited you are doing this for young people to be inspired! Very helpful
i LOVE this so much! keep them coming!!!!!
can't wait for the next episode!
Loving this thanks 😍
You should have someone (Alexa Chung) come and have look at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. We have the best fashion and costume design edjucation in Norway. And the school has the best workshop space in all of Europe.
Tremendous students as well!
I used to want to model so its interesting hearing her perspective on fashion, also hearing this can be a sustainable industry and many people don't see that
YAY BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I just adore alexa's voice
Great video!
can't wait to see more episodes :)
Love this!
Great video. I do feel the same. Thanks for creating this
Love this
This is so spectacular! I'm already getting the vibe that these videos will be the ones I'll be showing all those who ask me if I've gone crazy for studying journalism related to the fashion industry.
As I've seen, it's crucial that the audience addresses the matters they wish to be responded, so here are my questions:
Have you seen "The True Cost"? If so, how were the repercussions in the fashion industry? What plans does the fashion industry (the British, in particular) has when it comes to production, both materials and human resources?
I believe the world can keep getting outstanding art through fashion, but we can all contribute to it being a more responsible matter.
I've seen this three times in a row now, I 'm that excited.
Honestly, she gives me hope that I can be someone on the fashion industry..💕
Needed this 💖💖💖💖
I love how in this series you talk about ALL the jobs in the fashion industry nit just designing and modeling. I personally just love the world of fashion but i'm not sure what part I want to play in it. So it's nice to know there are a lot of different options.
I LOVE FASHION SO MUCH
I LOVE THIS
this should be broadcasted on TV as a programme
Loving this series!
