Fashion

The fashion industry is focused on the design, production, marketing and retail of clothing, footwear and accessories. It includes luxury fashion, high street brands, independent labels, sportswear, costume, styling, buying, merchandising, marketing, e-commerce and fashion media. You could work in design, but you could also work in technical, commercial, digital or communication-focused roles.

Whilst our first instinct might be to think of the kind of work seen in The Devil Wears Prada, manufacturing, supply chains, sales, marketing, data, retail strategy and brand growth are some of the areas that make fashion one of the biggest markets in the world. This means fashion can appeal to people with strengths in both the creative and process-driven sides of the work.
