I have a designer fashion jewellery business in Australia. I would like to reach retail boutiques who would be interested in my collection. Where do most retailers source their suppliers from ? Please suggest websites and online ways of attracting boutique stores.

Open your own web site. My neighbour done it and it’s free. Get someone to help you with it or check it out on the net. eg: create own website

I am currently in high school in PA (last place to be if your love the beach) and I’m going to college in North Carolina, because we also have another house down there and I can establish a residency and go for a cheaper price.
Now I’ve always dreamed about living in southern CA. Please dont lecture me about wildfires and earthquakes and insane prices of living, Im too young to go that far.
I want to work somewhere in fashion, either be a designer for a fashion merchandiser or work for a fashion magazine… I started a little jewelry business I have a website and business cards and everything… and that’s pretty impressive for a 15-year-old. so maybe I could work off making that grow into something really big
I know for a fact that I can’t just jump off the college band wagon and achieve this so no lectures about that either
Photography is my fallback, I could take pictures of the beach, or I could STILL work in fashion as a photographer-it comes naturally to me …

ADVICE??

I work as a semi professional model, and I have had the pleasure to work with many talented photographers.
So that being said, I have met different types of photographers. Some went to school for it, some started still photographing and eventually got into fashion photography.
It takes a lot to be able to photograph people, especially in their best. But if you can start practicing now… I’m sure you will be great at it!

If you want to do the fashion world stuff, you can try to get an internship for vogue or any other famous fashion magazines… that would be a great start!
Good luck!

She’s a Leo, an aspiring fashion designer who is already in the degree course of a reputable design school. She seems to have everything already, but we really want to get her something memorable! She love those arty-farty stuff and she even makes her own jewelry! Help!

Suggest some things that’s suitable!
More suggestions! More ANSWERS! I NEED HELP! WE ARE AT A DEAD END! WE CAN’T THINK OF STUFF TO GET HER! AAAH!

If she has "everything" give her a day at a spa, a massage, or something that is momentary like that.

First, I wanted to be either a chef or a fashion designer but I realised that none of those would work out for me.

Being a chef means dedicating yourself to hard work in the kitchen even on weekends and national holidays (in hot conditions). I am also not allowed to wear nail polish and jewelry which is what I like to wear.

Being a fashion designer sounds fun. But it’s absolutely too competitive and extremely hard to get in the fashion industry.

So what course should I take? I was thinking about multimedia design. What about that? Any other recommendations for me?

THANK you !!!

If you like fashion - why not go into a course like fashion buying? Not as competitive to get into yet very very involved in fashion.

I’m a relatively inexperienced web-designer and I have been working on a website doing some flash/html and general styling to a website of a customer. It’s not populated with many products yet and NOT fully up and running, but there’s enough there for someone to get a taste and let me know their sincere opinions appealing. Would appreciate any suggestions and comments.
Opinions of other gay men are particularly important to me (due to the general theme of the jewelry designer)

All opinions/comments welcome.

Many, many thanks in advance.

yeah, its alright

u could do a lot better BUT u could also do way, way worse
I think it is coming along nicely for a work in progress

I want to be a designer or have a job in the fashion industry and I am in high school. I need web sites with maybe modeling photos, some photo shoot pictures, and some help. I want to start designing jewelry and clothes but I do not know how to start. Please help! Websites would be great and your advice. Thank you!

Most people get involved in the business by having some skill, either because they had it as a hobby or they had someone who could teach them things. Also there are a lot of books that you can read at the library.

People think that doing fashion design is easy on the computer, but just about every successful designer knows how to draw. And they know how to cut and sew. Learn these things first.

Jewelry designers also must know how to draw, and they must learn about materials and metals. My best friend is a jeweler, he got started by making rings out of old silverware when he was a little kid. Now he designs gold jewelry for wealthy people like Saudi princes.

So, learn some of the basic crafts first, and it will help you greatly as you pursue your dream. Best of luck to you!

I run a online shop which specializes in fashion, jewelry, and gifts created by independent designers. I am participating in my first street fair this summer. I would like to present everything professionally but I’d also like to be well prepared.

Aside from inventory, here’s what you need to bring:

1. Your seller’s permit
2. Brochure about your website that you can give to every buyer and potential customer
3. Business cards
4. Food and water
5. How to accept payments - are you going to bring wireless credit card processing machines so you can accept credit card payments?
6. Contingency plans (e.g. who will man the booth when you go potty, etc)
7. Stories about individual pieces you have - great stories on how the piece was created or who the artist/designer is always attract buyers
8. Sense of humor - it can be a long and tiring day
9. Spare cash for change
10. Plastic or paper bags for your buyers’ merchandises
