How to Find a Role in the Fashion Industry

Breaking into fashion can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re just starting out. But the good news is, there’s no single path in. With a mix of strategy, consistency, and curiosity, finding your first (or next) role is within reach.

Start by bookmarking platforms like LinkedIn, Business of Fashion Careers, and Women’s Wear Daily. These sites regularly post openings across design, buying, PR, ecommerce, and more. Following your favorite brands directly on LinkedIn can also give you first dibs on new roles and insight into company culture.

Don’t underestimate the power of social. Follow fashion bloggers, stylists, and editors whose work you admire. These influencers often spotlight emerging brands and career opportunities you won’t find elsewhere.

Most importantly, connect with recruiters who specialize in fashion. Our team focuses on creative and corporate roles across fashion, home, and beauty—and we’re always looking to meet new talent.

Whether you’re a new grad or a seasoned pro looking to pivot, the right role is out there. When it comes to navigating the process, it helps to have someone in your corner. Connect with us today!
