Don’t Just Love Fashion, Learn About It.

13 January 2023

Anyone can say they love fashion, but does this mean they really know and understand it? Read this blog to uncover why knowing the fashion industry is important, and how this will help you in a fashion interview.

The first thing you should understand is having a love for the fashion industry and knowing the fashion industry is very different. Everyone can love fashion, but understanding and having a well-rounded scope of knowledge about it is important. 

Key reasons why?

Passion

Within the interview, you want to show how passionate you are about the industry. By doing this the interviewer is more likely to remember you for your enthusiasm and knowledge, highlighting someone who will want to learn within the position and want to do well.

Use the knowledge

Within the interview, you can expand your answers with the knowledge you have of current trends, fashion designers, and your awareness of current issues within the fashion industry. This is likely to impress the interviewer, as you are up-to-date with the current ins and outs of the industry.

As well as this, having a good understanding can help you keep informed and ready for any difficult questions from the interviewer. As well as allowing you to think of any questions that link to the fashion company you’re applying for that relate to the current trends in the industry. In turn, this will suggest your interest and knowledge of the industry to the interviewer.

Additionally

As well as these points, having a good amount of knowledge about the industry will help you understand if you are a good fit for the company you are applying for. In turn, you could have a few companies in mind that are your goal to work for. 

Similarly, having a good knowledge of the industry will help you in understanding what job role you think you’d be best suited to. Allowing you to go in the right direction when studying and applying for the positions.
