Career Opportunities in the Fashion Industry [Paperback]

Peter Vogt (Author), Angie Wojak (Foreword)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up-Vogt does a creditable job of describing a host of careers in the fashion world and related industries. He includes details on more than 60 positions, from fashion designer to media buyer. He devotes two to three pages to each one, outlining duties, salary range, prerequisites, and possible career progressions. He breaks the field into seven categories: textiles, retail, production/manufacturing, education, media, promotions, and other fashion jobs. In a foreword, Angelia Wojak of the Parsons School of Design discusses the character traits needed to succeed in a tough industry, often with "intense and volatile" workplaces. Clearly written and arranged, this excellent overview will make a fine addition to career collections.

This book helped me decide on my college major & what I wanted to do. Yes, the information can be found on a search engine- with extensive research and hours of typing. This book has great information on education, salaries, where the job can be found specific duties, career paths, and more. Its organized in a way that makes it easy to read and find information. I discovered jobs I never even knew existed!

I bought this book based on the reviews, and now I'm happy to add one. If you are a person interested in working in fashion but have no idea what you want to do, BUY THIS BOOK! Show your parents if you're young and tell them to read into it. This book has a lot of occupations in fashion, some I never even knew existed. Great details about the salary, job outlook for the future and countless other facts of info. Great buy!
