Linalu asked:


I really want to become a fashion journalist, because I love writing and fashion is, literally, my passion.
However, I have no clue how to get a start.

What do you have to study?

What credentials are needed?

The usual fashion label has ready-to-wear, resort and accessories as well as a ton of clothes that don’t make it on the runway. I know that the creative directors must work with a team to design all of this, so how much does the team contribute?

B.U. asked:


I’m about to go to college in the fall and major in communications at MSU, a largely accredited University. All my life I’ve wanted to be involed in fashion whether it be writing editorials or being a buyer. Will not majoring in some type of fashion merchadising/journalism/communications degree hinder my chances of getting a fashion orientated job? Or will I be A-OK with a great degree from a major university, not focused around fashion?

Simone S asked:


I am extremely interested in all areas of fashion. I keep my nose in Allure, Elle, Cosmo, Vogue and the tabloids. I love celebrities and their apparel. How do you get your foot in the door of fashion? Fashion journalism (I’m a great writer), fashion consulting (I adore clothes, accesoriese, etc.) or just working for a magazine? Help! If you want to see some of my work, let me know.
