Most of us Blogger's are tuned in knee deep in fashion, living it, breathing it, buying it & wearing it! It's crossed my mind that some of you guys may be intrigued as to what it's like to work in the cut-throat industry that is Fashion...and asked questions like "is it really that glamorous, how do i become a stylist, is it really that bitchy or scary???"
Hence, the special series known as "I Want This Job" features was born. I'll be sharing varied jobs and sneak peeks of the lives of those within the Fashion Industry.
All you need to do is click on the corresponding coloured links for the full feature.

VISUAL MERCHANDISING
Shop windows are the very thing that entices you into walking through the door & making a purchase. Whilst attractive displays provide a very enjoyable retail experience... Remember Charlotte in SATC getting totally sucked in by the shoes on display & the weird shoe assistant???
Anyhow, I'd love to introduce you to someone of exceptional talent in Visual Merchandising; Jason Traves, whom I've been lucky to work with (although in a totally different dept.) in my previous life.
