While the most celebrated fashion careers are in fashion and costume design, the fashion industry includes many other careers. For example, textile designers design the patterns on fabric, milliners design hats, and other designers work with jewelry and handbags. Other careers include assistants who help designers, fashion photographers, and fashion magazine editors; assistants shop for supplies and help these professionals in various other ways. It takes many people to successfully manage a fashion show or a photo shoot, for example. In addition, fashion is a retail business, and there are many careers that are involved in making it successful. Buyers, merchandisers, retailers, and sales assistants all contribute to the sale of fashions. This book introduces readers to various career options within a given field and explores what the jobs entail, educational requirements, salary ranges, required skills, employment prospects, and more. The book features a Q & A interview with someone who works in the field. Lists suggesting sources for more information are also included here.
