Career Options

Dr. Ruchi Kholiya, Sr. Faculty & HOD (FSFD)

What can you do with a Fashion Degree? ( Cont... )

Besides designing, journalism, fashion marketing & PR there are number of other career options for a
fashion graduate. Read on for a selection of fashion careers you can pursue after graduating from a fashion
degree, with further advice on how to boost your CV for fashion jobs.
1) Fashion Merchandising and Fashion Buying
Fashion merchandising and fashion buying are careers dependent on being aware of upcoming
fashion trends before they hit the high street. If you pursue a fashion buying career, your job will be to
source and purchase on-trend products that will appeal to your company's clients and consumers.
Fashion merchandising, on the other hand, is slightly more business-orientated, with your main tasks
being to calculate how much a customer will spend and to ensure all the right products are found in
the right stores at the right time.
Fashion buying and fashion merchandising are key job roles within the retail industry, with hiring
organizations including department stores, retail chain stores, online retailers and smaller
independent shops and boutiques. So, if you're keen to forecast the latest trends and have an eye for
what will sell, careers in fashion merchandising or fashion buying may well be for you.
How to boost your graduate employability: A fashion blog; sound knowledge of current high
street/designer markets and trends; retail experience; numeracy skills; fashion internships in
buying, merchandising, design or marketing.
2) Fashion Production and Management
Fashion production is often thought of as the front line of the fashion industry, and much attention
and expertise is needed to ensure quality and consistency in the overall product. After gaining
experience in the area, management career possibilities will open up to you, allowing you to work
your way up the production ladder until you have your own team. Alternatively, you could gain a
postgraduate degree in management, specializing in a relevant area.
In recent years the innovational side of fashion production has grown considerably, with growing
emphasis on sustainability and zero-wastage, making it one of the more challenging and rewarding
fashion jobs due to its wide reach and relevance. Fashion-conscious eco-warriors with strong
leadership skills are prime candidates for fashion jobs in production.
How to boost your graduate employability: Interest in textiles and production processes;
leadership skills; experience in production/manufacturing; fashion internships (in production or
design).
3) Advertising
Linked to the field of fashion marketing, the advertising
industry can also provide a range of careers for fashion
graduates. Whether you're advertising high street
fashion, luxury fashion or related products, graduates
can use the skills acquired during their fashion degree to
better 'sell' the latest fashions to clients and consumers.
Fashion careers in advertising can be within print, film or
digital media and can include roles in fashion copywriting,
editorial, styling (for photo shoots etc.), multimedia
marketing and managing public relations.
How to boost your graduate employability: Experience working within a team; copywriting skills;
advertising/marketing internships; good command in softwares such as Corel DRAW, Adobe
Photoshop, Illustrator are also must for this profile.

Business Entrepreneurship Corner@ FDDI Rohtak

The World Is Changing Fast

In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide.
Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they got bankrupt.
What happened to Kodak will happen in a lot of industries in the next 10 year - and most
people don't see it coming. Did you think in 1998 that three years later you would never take
pictures on paper film again? Yet digital cameras were invented in 1975. The first ones only
had 10,000 pixels, but followed Moore's law. So as with all exponential technologies, it was a
disappointment for a long time, before it became way superior and got mainstream in only a
few short years. It will now happen with artificial intelligence, health, autonomous and electric
cars, education, 3D printing, agriculture and jobs.
Software will disrupt most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years. Uber is just a software
tool, they don't own any cars, and are now the biggest taxi company in the world. Airbnb is
now the biggest hotel company in the world, although they don't own any properties.
Artificial Intelligence: Computers become exponentially better in understanding the world.
This year, a computer beat the best Go player in the world, 10 years earlier than expected. In
the US, young lawyers already don't get jobs. Because of IBM Watson, you can get legal
advice (so far for more or less basic stuff) within seconds, with 90% accuracy compared with
70% accuracy when done by humans.
Autonomous cars: In 2018 the first self driving cars will appear for the public. Around 2020,
the complete industry will start to be disrupted. You don't want to own a car anymore. You will
call a car with your phone, it will show up at your location and drive you to your destination.
You will not need to park it, you only pay for the driven distance and can be productive while
driving. Electric cars will become mainstream until 2020. Cities will be less noisy because all
cars will run on electric. Electricity will become incredibly cheap and clean: Solar production
has been on an exponential curve for 30 years, but you can only now see the impact. Last
year, more solar energy was installed worldwide than fossil.
Health: The Tricorder X price will be announced this year. There will be companies who will
build a medical device (called the "Tricorder" from Star Trek) that works with you phone,
which takes your retina scan, you blood sample and you breathe into it. It then analyses 54
biomarkers that will identify nearly any disease. It will be cheap, so in a few years everyone on
this planet will have access to world class medicine, nearly for free.
Agriculture: There will be a 100$ agricultural robot in the future. Farmers in 3rd world
countries can then become managers of their field instead of working all days on their fields.
Longevity: Right now, the average life span increases by 3 months per year. Four years ago,
the life span used to be 79 years, now it's 80 years.
Education: The cheapest smartphones are already at 10$ in Africa and Asia. Until 2020,
70% of all humans will own a smartphone. That means, everyone has the same access to
world class education.

The Art of Visual Merchandising

Kishor Sharma, Sr. Faculty (FSRFM)
Visual Merchandising is the art of displaying merchandise in a manner that is appealing to the eyes of the
customer. It sets the context of the merchandise in
an aesthetically pleasing fashion, presenting
them in a way that would convert the window
shoppers into prospects and ultimately buyers of
the product. A creative and talented retailer can
use this upcoming art to breathe in new life into his
store products. Passion for design and creativity
are essential to be a good visual merchandiser. A
perfect design process and the ability to create
ideas that are different are required. Awareness of
happenings in fashion world is needed so as to
keep up-to-date with the dynamics of the market
constantly.
Components of Visual Merchandising:
There are certain things which a retailer needs to take care while proceeding with the process of displaying
his products. These components when combined together in a proper ratio will make a successful outcome.
Make merchandise the focal point:
The main goal of display is to showcase the products within the overall display area. Customers give three
to five seconds of their attention to window display. The retailer's visual message should be conveyed to the
customer in that short period of time. It should not be like an unsuccessful TV advertisement, where the
product is forgotten altogether and only the concept of the commercial remains in the mind of the viewer.
The arrangement of window display should go with the product and should not suppress them to make it
discernable to the eye.
Right choice of colors is vital:
Color is one of the most powerful tools in the Visual Merchandising segment. It is a visual perceptual
property. Colors can be associated with emotions, special occasions and gender. It attracts attention and
pulls more customers into the store. A retailer has to focus on the right choice of color that would match with
the theme of display. It is not possible to satisfy everyone all the time, but it is possible to cultivate the taste of
customers gradually and purposefully.
Display themes to appropriately support the product:
A theme is a display of sale items of similar categories e.g. a
display of kitchen accessories. It's essential to have themes for
all retail displays. They can be romantic, wild, or capricious, and
capture people's imaginations.
A good theme will lure the customer with a shopping mood into
the store. Themes mainly depend upon the retailer's imagination
and creativity. Focusing on the right theme rather than creating a
display with expensive raw materials is the key to successful
window display. A shoe store theme can be a group of elves
buying shoes. A theme for display of casual wears can be a group of mannequins sitting casually at a get
together in different poses. Related themes will tug the heartstring of the customers and will pay off.

Step up your Shoe Game

Adam Derrick,founder,To Boot New York, has a belief about footwear.The right shoe speaks volumes
about how you view yourself and your to approach dressinghe says.
Derrick is passionate [and rightly, of course] about shoes. He
offers tips on how to ensure your closet is full of great leather
shoes.
Shop for Quality over Quantity;
I may be biased, but I think it's a mistake for men to not buy
quality footwear says Derrick.Unlike with a shirt or a Jacket,
your shoe have a big job to do. They have to regularly support
your entire body weight while being comfortable and
encouraging you to stay active and stand tall, and look great
all at the same time.
Derrick suggests two things; First look for a stitched sole.a
stitched sole is sturdier and more practical than a glued or
than a bonded sole. He also suggests buying footwear made
in Italy. In general, footwear made in Italy denotes a
production level that is of the highest quality he says.
Maintenance is Key
1. Wipe, then wear:
Derrick suggests wiping down your shoes with a soft
cloth or paper towel before putting them on. Dust can collect in the creases and will act as
sandpaper on the leather as you walk, he says. You could also try a all-natural product such as
shoe rescue to keep your kicks extra refreshed.
2. Spray suede:
Lightly mist, not saturate, your suede shoes with a water and stain protector spray, suggests
Derrick. And when they're dirty, brush up the nap with a suede brush.
3. Protect the color:
A good neutral cream polish will suffice for cleaning and moisturizing white leather, says Derrick.
Only if you scuff the leather should you match the color. For polishing burnished leatherthink a
shoe that has two tones rather than just being solidhe suggests using the color of the "body" of the
shoe, rather than the darker burnished toe.
4. Always use a cedar shoe tree:
The shoe tree irons out creases and maintains the original contours, says Derrick. The unfinished
cedar wood absorbs moisture and adds a fresh smell.
5. Rotate:
Don't wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row if you can help it, advises Derrick. He says
shoes should be rotated to let them completely dry out between wearings. This more than anything
prolongs the life of your shoes, he says. Another benefit to having a wardrobe of shoes.
