September 6, 2024 How to Get Started in Fashion
Our best tip for how to get started in fashion is to work in a retail location for your favorite brand. In these positions, you quickly learn about store merchandising, seasonal retail trends, and the best practices in customer service.
Even better, you begin to build a network of fashion enthusiasts like you who love identifying the latest trends and assisting customers with their fashion selections.
At Crossroads, we offer even one more valuable fashion industry skill: buying. Through our formal training, our buyers learn how to select and price clothing for their store’s inventory. And since the clothing is in their own store, they can see which of their picks sell best. It’s real-time training that’s hard to find in other retail settings.
Plus, working in resale fashion means you’re part of the sustainable fashion movement, keeping clothing out of landfill and giving preloved clothes a chance at a second life.
Did we mention there’s an employee discount too?
