***************

If you want to break into the fashion industry, it seems logical that you’d need to go to fashion school. But what if that’s not for you? There are creative ways you can approach opportunities to get your foot in the door. Bjorn shares exactly how to get an interview, and what he’s looking for during that first meeting. These are things you can do on your own (without a fashion school degree) to secure your first opportunity.

YOU WILL LEARN:

The value of internships and building relationships
What to include (and not include) in your portfolio
Why Illustrator skills are mandatory – but what other skills you need to survive
The skills learned in school vs what’s required in the real world
How to better prepare yourself for a job while you’re in school
How to create opportunities if you don’t have a fashion school degree
Why a curious mind will take you far
How to get in touch with Bjorn for guidance (thank you for this generous offer Bjorn!)
