The Fashion Industry Bootcamp is here. What it is and why join

Hey fashion friend,

Years ago when I was just a student of management engineering, I had this big dream of wanting to work in the fashion industry one day. 

As February approached, the fashion enthusiast in me was excited for the beginning of fashion month. Each fashion week season I found myself downloading the fashion week calendars and scheduling appointments with myself to watch the streaming shows. My desk was full of fashion images I cut from magazines and hung on there. 

During that month of the year, my passion and desire of wanting to enter the fashion industry was even more intense but I feared I didn’t belong there, plus the fact that I didn’t study fashion and had no idea how to break into this world didn’t add more confidence.  

I guess you are experiencing the same:

You currently lack foundational knowledge about the fashion industry, feeling like an outsider and worried that this will make you less noticeable or competitive.

You fear not belonging or being seen as “impostors” in the fashion industry due to limited knowledge.

You want to build an impressive resume that stands out in the fashion industry even if you don’t have experience yet

You crave mentorship and direct insights from professionals who’ve made it big in the industry.

You wish to build a strong network in the fashion world.

And you want to prepare yourself for the fashion industry by acquiring the skills you need and learning how to get the job of your dreams.

I completely understand the desire to showcase your love for fashion to recruiters especially if you don’t have experience yet. So this year, instead of watching the shows or looking at the runway photos by yourself, I invite you to embark on this learning opportunity with me, other industry experts, and fellow fashion enthusiasts so you can capitalize on the energy and excitement that fashion month brings. Together we can give a boost to your knowledge, connections, and future career in the fashion industry. 

I am thrilled to present you The Fashion Industry Bootcamp 2024!

Reasons to join The Fashion Industry Bootcamp 

Looking to break into the fashion industry but have no or little experience?

I have been there. 

I come from a small town in the south of Italy, so I was living far away from the fashion capital, plus I didn’t study fashion at uni, so in order to get noticed by recruiters during my job and internship applications I took some online fashion courses to build up my resume a bit. 

And guess what? When I went to the job interview at Alexander McQueen, the recruiter was more impressed by those online fashion courses than my master’s in luxury and fashion management.

What?! Why? I asked. The recruiter said that possessing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in fashion is commonplace, and they are seeking candidates who go above and beyond these traditional qualifications. The online courses on my resume showed:

• my deep interest in the fashion industry
• a proactive and growth mindset
• commitment to continuous learning.
• a deliberate effort to stay ahead of industry trends, and enhance my skill sets.

As Lucy Maguire from Vogue Business told me once: we are hiring for potential, not a finished product. Fashion companies are hiring people who keep investing in themselves.

If you are ready to impress fashion companies as well and stand out in this competitive industry, now is the perfect moment to seize the opportunity and enroll in the Fashion Industry Bootcamp.

Get first-hand knowledge from industry professionals

The masterclasses included in this online program, taught by industry professionals working at the top companies of the industry including Louis Vuitton and WGSN, not only align with the industry’s dynamic demands but also emphasize a proactive commitment to continuous learning – an essential quality sought after by recruiters.

Learning directly from professionals with substantial experience not only imparts valuable knowledge but also exposes you to the industry’s best practices, fostering a mindset that aligns with current industry trends and expectations. Plus, understanding the different facets of the fashion industry will make you versatile and adaptable to various roles in fashion. 

The Fashion Industry Bootcamp is timed perfectly with the fashion month

This program runs in parallel with New York, London, Milan, and Paris Fashion Week. This is your perfect occasion to not just simply watch shows online, but also be an active participant in the fashion industry. The synergy between the Bootcamp and Fashion Weeks creates a dynamic atmosphere where your educational experience transcends traditional boundaries, providing you with unparalleled opportunities to absorb the essence of the fashion world.

I wish I had a program like The Fashion Industry Bootcamp back then and the chance to connect, learn, and chat with industry experts and other fashion enthusiasts about all things fashion. Now I am bringing this opportunity to you because I know that by the end of it, you’ll emerge confident, knowledgable, and proud ready to smash it in fashion.
