The question that I see being asked all the time when it comes to working in the fashion industry is “Do I need to move to a Fashion Capitol in order to obtain a fashion career?”. My answer to that question is… no. Well, it depends on what you want to do in fashion really. If being a designer is your goal, then you can buy the fabric, make patterns, and construct your clothing from anywhere in the world. On the other hand, if you have dreams to design for a well known brand, then you might just need to move. Technology has made working anywhere possible. Companies are now conducting interviews on Skype, and using shared Dropbox accounts to exchange documents, pictures, and even review contracts. What I love about working for online retailers and fashion businesses is that I am able to work with people in China, Italy, Australia, France, and anywhere else a computer exist in the world. regardless of what you do, you should still travel to as many well known fashion cities as possible. What I would suggest is you figure out what your career goals are, then plan accordingly. Some places are limited in opportunity when it comes to certain fashion careers. If you do think you have to move, plan accordingly to make it as smooth a transition

as possible.

Thanks and good luck
