The fashion industry is exciting and glamorous--but very tough to break into.

Author Julia Yates explains the fashion industry's many and complex facets, offers detailed descriptions of its widely varied career opportunities, and instructs her readers on effective ways to stand out from the crowd of job seekers. She advises on preparing rÃ©sumÃ©s and portfolios, dealing with job interviews, and mastering the art of networking. She offers inside tips on finding and following up on fashion industry jobs that others don't know about, and discusses internships as a possible path toward career success. Most important, she describes the jobs themselves, which include--
Fashion Design --Haute couture, ready-to-wear designer, pattern cutter, illustrator, design room assistant, and more
Accessories
Textiles --Embroidery designer, textiles technician, tapestry maker, and more
