I live in Melboune, Australia and i want to get fashion related work experience. I don’t mind working at womens magazines(fashion department) or something but all the magazine offices are in sydney. Where can i get it and how?
Depends on how old you are, but a good grounding for fashion is to get a Saturday job in a decent retail environment, eg Myer, because that way you get a strong insight into what sells and what the public wants and doesn’t – very useful when it comes to deciding what to put in the zine later.
If you really want fashion experience – difficult at any age! – try for a job with a fashion agent or distributor to see how fashion is circulated. look at the yellow pages.
or see if you can get an office job at the design college, or with a fabric printer, or at the Herald-Sun which has a big lifestyle department.
Good luck!
maybe look on the net for melbourne based fashion designers, and email them enquiring about work experiance just an idea
goodluck
