Hi all!
Now that the latest Paris Fashion Week Megavideo is out, Daniella and I are hard at work on our next massive projects. In the meantime, here's the second installment of a series that we'll be updating periodically.
The most common question we get is "how can I get my foot in the door in the fashion industry?" Our first follow-up question is "What do you want to do?" And typically, no one knows of any jobs other than designer, stylist, photographer, model, journalist, editor, and influencer. Of course those jobs usually do not pay well and are extremely competitive.
While I can't help you find a niche techincal position, I wanted to highlight some of the more strange jobs in the industry. The first episode of this series came out a looong time ago, it was the interview with the owner of ENDYMA Archive, the largest archive of Helmut Lang in the world.
THIS Episode highlights the owner and creative director of Darklands Berlin, widely regarded as one of the most elite multi-brand boutiques in the world and the largest single retailer of Geoffrey B Small and Carol Christian Poell. Daniella and I visited the space and got the pleasure of sitting down with Campbell and Estefania.
If you do visit Darklands, please be aware that the store is open to everyone, but the primary purpose of the space is to sell clothes. On this channel, we have often encouraged everyone to visit fashion stores and try on clothes, even if you aren't in a position to buy. Darklands, as a store, is geared towards buying customers. That said, if you do purchase something there, you won't be disappointed. I was very impressed with the variety and rarity of their stock. It's a fantastic place to buy a jacket you'll have for the rest of your life.
Very excited to hear everyone's thoughts :)
Bliss+Daniella
