From the Publisher

“The most insightful and spot-on introduction to the fashion industry, for someone who is considering fashion as a career path.” –Alexander Wang, Founder/Creative Director, Alexander Wang, and Creative Director, Balenciaga

Editorial Reviews

…a how-to for teenagers who are genuinely interested in fashion and want to know how the business works…Real-world advice for would-be fashion stars in tough times.
—The New York Times

Julie Just

Gr 7 Up—This book will have a lot of teen appeal with its trendy fashions created by veteran designers and newcomers alike. Legendary names such as Karl Lagerfeld are intermixed with the latest fashion moguls to give readers advice about how to plan for a career in the industry. Future-minded readers will learn about design, modeling, styling, and photography through interviews, pictures, and lively layouts of tips and photos. "Essential Items of the Pros" are included at the end of each section. The exceptional photos and spreads of questions and answers are attractive and fun to look at, but at times the bold colors and busyness overwhelm the solid text. Regardless, young people considering a career in the business will find plenty of encouragement and useful tips. The fashions and ideas are up-to-date, including Michelle Obama's nontraditional sleeveless dresses described as "bringing the First Lady into the modern era, in which glamour is defined by Hollywood and the red carpet rather than protocol and tradition." Even if teens only look at the pictures and boxes of text, they are sure to learn plenty.—Karen Alexander, Lake Fenton High School, Linden, MI
