A must for any fashion student, this book provides an in-depth review of the wide-ranging career options available in the fashion and textile industry, profiling over 50 careers that span the creative, technical, retail, and media fields.

Clearly defined job profiles are accompanied by interviews with people employed in the industry. Breaking into the fashion industry can be very difficult for newly qualified graduates and young designers because of the high number of students graduating each year and the competitive nature of the business.
