We Were At FIDM!

This week, we held our most recent stylist panel at one of the top fashion schools of all time, FIDM! (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising). We received a warm welcome from their Student Activities committee, Mode Magazine team, and a room full of excited, enthusiastic students. Some of the topics we discussed were:

• How to make the transition from trade to paid work

• The smartest way to keep track of your finances as a freelance stylist

• The importance of having a credit line

• Building strong relationships with showrooms

• Maintaining your unique personal brand

• …And much more!

The panel was then followed by a Q&A with the stylists and students. We loved seeing how excited the students were for their futures in the fashion industry. Can’t wait to see them make their mark!

Special thanks to the stylists who came and dropped so much valuable advice:
