During summer, you might find yourself with more free time—no classes, recent graduation, or simply a well-deserved break. While enjoying your summer holidays, why not seize the moment to enhance your skills and make significant strides in your fashion career?

The Summer Fashion Camp is an online learning experience made up of online fashion courses allowing you to learn from anywhere, be it the comfort of your home or during a peaceful respite from the beach.

I believe that productivity and personal enjoyment can coexist harmoniously.

Our online courses offer flexibility that adapts to your schedule. Immerse yourself in the world of fashion, absorb knowledge from renowned experts, and elevate your skills—all while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of summer. You'll emerge from the summer season feeling both refreshed and accomplished.

Imagine returning to your daily routine with newfound confidence, armed with a valuable skill set and the potential to unlock exciting opportunities in the fashion industry.

Just imagine the impact of presenting a summer filled with self-study and personal fashion projects to potential recruiters. It truly pays off in unexpected ways—I can vouch for that.

During my job interview at Alexander McQueen, the recruiter was astounded by my commitment to my fashion career during those summer breaks when I was a management engineering student.

While I was getting my bachelor's degree in Management Engineering, I sought additional resources beyond university to expand my knowledge about the industry. So I spent each summer during university learning more about the fashion industry. These summer experiences impressed recruiters when I was at my job interview with Alexander McQueen and they helped me secure my first internship at the luxury brand.

So I completely understand the desire to showcase your love for fashion to recruiters especially if you don't have experience yet. That's why the Summer Fashion Camp 2023 edition is designed to help you build something extraordinary for your resume and learn everything you need to kickstart your career in fashion.

Whether you're aiming to land a job this summer, in the fall, or preparing for future opportunities in 2024, our camp will equip you with the essential knowledge and skills to excel.

By boosting your skills and knowledge, you'll be one step closer to landing your dream role in fashion.

Whether you've just graduated, you're still a student, or simply want to take your career in fashion to the next level, the Summer Fashion Camp is the perfect opportunity to dive into the world of fashion and give your career (and resume) a significant boost.

The Summer Fashion Camp is tailored to meet the needs of aspiring fashion professionals like you.

"After my graduation I was looking for a course that could help me professionally. I applied to several jobs and didn’t hear back. Then I came across Glam Observer. I highly recommend the How to Break into the Fashion Industry course! Whether you are a student, or you already have lots of work experience and are looking to change careers, this course is very helpful! The section that helped me the most was The Fashion Job Application Tools section. The downloadable spreadsheets helped me stay organized during my job search. Although, I had previous work experience in the fashion industry I learned so much more about different career paths including Fashion PR, Journalism, Styling and Buying.

After taking this course, I got a job at Tory Burch and completed an internship at SMCP (Sandro, Maje, Claudie Pierlot, De Fursac)"

- Mariangela

"I enrolled in this course during my final year in advertising. I wanted to know how to approach the world of fashion, as it is a very competitive and exclusive. The course provided me with a lot of important information, for example what the most popular roles consisted of (stylist, buyer, etc.). But above all it helped me to understand how important it was to expand my network, how to write a CV that could attract attention and highlight my qualities, and how to write Cover Letter.

Thanks to this course I was able to introduce myself through a CV and a Cover Letter which allowed me to win a scholarship for a Master in fashion in Paris and subsequently find several internships in the world of fashion (Pr agency and Christian Dior) "

- Eleonora

"I got fired from my 9-5 in October of 2021. I knew it was time for me to dive deep into my purpose.

One of my major focuses was getting an internship with a fashion company that aligned with my why, my who, and my need and that can help me master the skill of fashion design.

So, studying the courses on Glam Observer, as well as using the cover letter template to describe my passion, I applied to be a fashion intern and finally received a yes.

Giada gets in your business and understands the needs of young adults like me and you wanting to begin, restart, or shift.

Believe: you can and you will. Anything contrary to that is a lie."

- Destiny

"Before the course I knew what career field I wanted to become well established in (photography) but, I was unable to receive any call backs.

After the course I am now able to identify my strengths, and the qualifications I am able to deliver for the job requirements. I have also listed the pros and cons, how it will get me to my dream position, the do's and don't and how to contact employers of the company.

The course has helped me a lot with my little experience in the industry and first stepping into my dream career field. The course helped me by finalizing my CV, Cover Letter, Resume along with sending cold emails to potential employers, and interns in the fashion space. I have also learned the difficulty of handling the submissions of resumes and what to do and not to do"

- Amani

"This course was incredibly useful and beneficial while starting out in the fashion industry. It contained some excellent insights for tips on how to network and gain recruiter’s attention... For me, applying to jobs during the pandemic was a long and difficult process – this course gave me ‘the light at the end of the tunnel’ and motivated me to keep pushing. Having been through the course and job search myself, I personally think that nothing is more important than surrounding yourself with driven, motivated individuals that will lift you up and encourage you. I found this sense of community through Glam Observer and find it such a crucial part of advancing professionally.”

- Iantha

"This course is so worthwhile! I studied design at university but have felt completely lost since graduating. This course clearly broke down the best ways to approach getting your dream job and in a really enjoyable, inspiring and manageable way. Each module is full of information, and the templates that Giada has created are such valuable tools to have. Through this course, Giada teaches you things that people don’t typically tell you about applying to jobs in fashion, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is trying to secure their dream job. I’m now approaching the whole application process with completely fresh eyes - thank you so much Giada!!"

- Marina S.

"Before graduating from university, I began studying and searching for efficient ways to apply for my first internship. I studied Marketing and Advertising but I always knew I wanted to enter the fashion industry. I wanted to make sure I was submitting a successful application and suddenly I discovered the “Break Into the Fashion Industry” Course by Glam Observer.

This course definitely helped me find the confidence I needed to take action to achieve my dreams and goals of entering the fashion world. I am grateful for all the useful information, knowledge, and skills I learned with this course, especially how to take advantage of my passion and transform that dream into a reality. Along with the many practical tips, you will also learn the importance of efficient networking for creating true connections and opportunities. You get to know and surround yourself with kind, motivated and extremely passionate people that support you and guide you through the process. ”

"I recently completed the course, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every aspect. In my many years as a STEM and Psychology student, I have taken numerous courses, but "Excel for Fashion" is truly one-of-a-kind. I had always been curious about how to utilize it specifically in the context of the fashion industry. This course provided exactly what I was looking for, and it did so in a simplified yet thorough manner. One of the aspects that truly stood out to me was your exceptional teaching style. You not only provided visual examples, but you also incorporated real-life scenarios, which made the learning experience highly engaging and practical. Thanks to your clear explanations and comprehensive approach, I breezed through the course without feeling overwhelmed. Once again, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for offering such a valuable course. Your expertise and dedication to providing high-quality education are truly commendable.
