I chatted with Hetty Appleton-Miles Stylist at Burberry who moved to London from Australia 7 years ago. Hetty's main job as Stylist for the British brand is styling the looks for the Burberry website and some digital campaigns: from developing the concept with her director to styling up to overseeing the looks on set. Like any other person working in fashion, also her working days are never the same. From this chat, you'll hear how she got started in the industry and you'll be surprised to learn that she started with no formal university education. Although in the podcast she says that educating yourself outside of a traditional degree is fundamental. indeed she took several online courses to understand more about fashion. I asked her about her tips for becoming a good stylist and if this is a career you want to pursue, you will be motivated to know that she believes that styling is a skill that you can practice through work experience and that you can acquire even if right now maybe you believe you might not have it. We also chatted about her recent work trip to Paris, her favorite shows of the season as well as how she separates her personal style from her styling work. Free Webinar: 3 powerful strategies to break into the fashion industry: Register here Visit our website for more career advice: www.glamobserver.com Follow us on Instagram for daily updates: @glamobserver

Georgia Rhodes is a final-year student with already a lot of big fashion magazines on her resume including Marie Claire, Glamour, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, CR Fashion Book. I met Georgia in 2020 as she is one of the students of my online course Break into the fashion industry + The Fashion Writer Accelerator and in the past 3 years, she has achieved so much. I am really proud of her and happy to have been part of her professional journey and excited to share this interview with her to know where she is today. After an experience with a fashion marketing internship, she realized that writing was what she preferred doing.  She felt the pressure of getting an internship for her placement year especially when she realized that applying to fashion is different from applying to any other job. It was a nerve-wracking experience as her uni didn't really guide her on how to approach practically the job search process. She then stumbled upon the course Break into the fashion industry and after being encouraged by her grandparents to invest in her career, she enrolled and finally started seeing the first results. Her first experience with a magazine was at Marie Claire. She was one of the students to get the internship at Marie Claire in partnership with us exclusive for students of our academy. She then went up from there landing one internship after another at other major publications including Glamour, Elle, CR Fashion Book, Harpers Bazaar…Today, together with writing her dissertation, she is working as a freelance for the luxury online retailer Farfetch as Content Writer as well as writing for CR Fashion Book. In this episode we chatted everything about: how she realized that fashion was made for her and why ended up studying fashion marketinghow she understood she prefers writing over marketingfears and doubts about getting the first internshiphow she managed unpaid internshipshow she landed her first internship at Marie Clairethe strategy she used to land multiple internships at Glamour, Elle, Cr Fashion Book without living in a fashion capitalhow she stays organized to manage her fashion jobs remotelyhow she juggles studying with her current role at Farfetch and CR Fashion Bookthe difference between writing for magazines and being the Content Writer for Farfetchthe tools she uses in her joband her advice to land a job in fashionExplore the courses Georgia enrolled in:Break into the fashion industry courseThe Fashion Writer Accelerator CourseVisit our website for more career advice: www.glamobserver.com Follow us on Instagram for daily updates: @glamobserver

I get asked often what skills you need to work in fashion. There isn't just one answer here because skills change with each position and company. However there is one that is common among 90% of the fashion jobs: Microsoft Excel.Wait, what? Why? When we think about the fashion industry we see fashion shows, clothes, shoes, magazines… So it's hard to envision fashion workers doing anything that doesn't include designing clothes, styling looks, and attending appointments, and fashion events.. you are unlikely to imagine them seated at their desks just like any other employee from any other industry. But the reality is that those who work in fashion spend a lot of, the majority of their time actually, on a laptop answering emails and planning and making analyses on Excel sheets. So if you had no idea that MS Excel is such an important skill in fashion and why then tune in as you'll learn precious insights that will boost your job search and career in this industryExcel for fashion online course , join the waitlist here https://glamobserver.com/excel-for-fashion-course

I remember when I had to write my first resume. I was about to graduate in management engineering, I opened a Word document and I stared in front of it for a while looking at an empty page.I was worried that I couldn't add anything relevant and so I was thinking: “why would companies want to hire me when they will for sure receive other applications from people with more experience or even better schools?”Fast forward 10 years later, as a fashion career coach, I've learned many things and I know that while it's normal to have those fears, they were actually living more in my head.In fact, I broke into fashion with an internship at a top company: Alexander McQueen in the ecommerce department, despite I was still that girl with:a degree in management engineeringno connectionsnot born and raised in a fashion capital without previous experience in fashion So yes, it's absolutely possible to get into fashion even if you have no experience yet (if you think about it's quite logical, right? Or how would everyone else, including Anna Wintour have done?) So if you are like me 10 years ago looking to: write your first resume to apply for your first job in fashion or you already have a resume but you are not getting responses from companiesthen tune in to listen to the 6 steps.Join me tomorrow June 8th, 6:30pm CET / 12:30pm EST  for the only LIVE WORKSHOP of the year: The fashion resume party where we will build together your CV/resume live on Zoom > https://glamobserver.com/resume-live-class/During the live class you'll learn:what to include in your Resume/CVhow to fit perfectly your resume to the position so it becomes irresistiblehow the perfect resume layout should look like When you register for the free live class you'll also get a resume template for free so you can build yours along with us on Zoom. With just 27€ and one hour of your time, you'll stop the struggle, stress and confusion as you'll walk away from that zoom class confident that you finally have a resume that fashion companies will love!Plus all your doubts will get solved as I'll take 20 minutes to answer all of your questions.AAAAND as a special bonus surprise I'll also review LIVE two resumes of yours so you can understand how a fashion recruiter scans your resume and what to change, add, include and make sure you do before hitting send so that they can't ignore your application. The size of the class is limited to offer you an extraordinary experience and help each of you.

We all know Anna Wintour as the iconic editor-in-chief of Vogue. You might recognize her for the bob cut, her black glasses and her floral dresses. But she's not only a strong leader with an extraordinary work ethic, and she's neither so cold in reality. I've been fascinated by Anna Wintour for a long time and if you have read my book Your Fashion Dream Plan you know that there is an illustration as well as a chapter with her name. So I was very excited to sit down with Amy Odell who has just published her book Anna the biography. Amy has built up Anna Wintour's story by interviewing more than 250 people over the past 3 years. In this podcast episode we chatted about Anna Wintour: why she is so powerful in fashion why do people beyond fashion ask for her opinion (including Serena Williams and Bradley Cooper when he had to cast for A star is born). if there is Vogue without Anna Wintourwho could replace her and if the next editor in chief will be as influential as AnnaGet your copy of Your Fashion Dream Plan on AmazonGet your copy of Anna the biography on amazon
