I was looking to go to graduate school for fashion in London, I found two progams I was intrested in. I have an intrest in the fashion industry mostly inttrested in buying allocations. My first degree is in Sociology so for me to get my Masters I want to be able to easily find a job. Dream jobs would be (TOPSHOP, New Look, Vivian Westwood, Harvey Nichols). The 2 programs I found are MA Fashion Business and a MA fashion Marketing.

I think you'd like Fashion Marketing more and would be able to utilize and understand it better. Fashion Business sound slike it would teach you the ins and outs of the financial aspect of Fashion, whereas Fashion Marketing would get you to know what the fashion industry is thinking and how best to present the things you'd like to see out in the world, or in display windows. Good Luck with your Master's!

Any ideas on salaries for experienced/inexperienced buyers? I run my own import/export fashion business and am planning to do a two year foundation degree in fashion and marketing and the London College of Fashion, any ideas on what my slary might be when I get a job with a company after

what are some of the things i may need to make this a success ?How many people should i have in the fashion show to make it big? Should i have children as well as women?How much should i sell the tickets for and how many should be printed?What are some of the extra things to accomodate the show?How many tickets should be given to everyone?The cause of the funderaiser is to help a family from foreclosure.Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thank you

Judging by the reason of the fundraising, i assume the fashion show fundraiser is going to be a low-key one, right? Because the cost of a good Venue, models and rental of microphones, lighting and sound/music equipment as well as creating the boarded "runway", banner for the logo of the clothes company as well as printing of the tickets will set you back a VERY BIG amount. Also, not everyone u give tickets to can be expected to turn up. Every 100 tickets sent, u may only expect a turnout of 30%-50%. (unless it's a big branded fashion show.) Some venues charge 3K just for venue rental only.

I'd suggest that you approach a college and get students to model, or relatives and friend's daughters. Rent the hall of a community centre/art gallery and use their sound equipment and lighting. Instead of having to build a runway, you could get models to model around seated guest tables instead. Also, ask a local clothes store if they are willing to participate. Do get them to provide clothes in your model's sizes. Get the clothes a few days in advance so that they can be STEAM-ironed out. Get the models to wear neutral colored heels. Tickets can be printed at a print shop nearby. The smaller d tickets, the cheaper it is. Get it printed on A3 size sheets and cut the tickets to size yourself to save cost. Also, to hire a makeup artist for the day may cost $250, so get models to do their own makeup but advise them according to the clothes picked out. GOOD LUCK!

you could also sell cake slices or drinks at the same time to earn more from the crowd….since it is quite low cost.
