Styles, colours and combinations change along with every season, year after year. It may look glamorous and fun, but it takes hard work and dedication to make a career in fashion. Many people now study fashion at college or university in the UK, where they need to understand skills including design, materials, distribution, marketing – and have lots of creative flair. All the people at this fashion shoot have studied at college, but now they’re working, they’re still learning all the time. Photographer: I went to the London College of Communication. The real training that I kind of got that helps me today is just from assisting photographers, working in studios and just, really, just shooting my own stuff. Make-up artist: I think I’m still learning every day because there are new products, new people, different equipment… Alex: I went to the Royal College of Arts, where I sort of learned more about textile design and fashion and a little bit more about the industry from a different perspective. Wendy: Fashion designer Alex d’Arche is now putting that education to practical use. Alex: I like that. That’s really nice. Wendy: She now works in the family business, called Daisy Darche. Alex: That’s really nice. Wendy: Alex’s business is based in London, where she designs and manufactures her range of clothes. So, show me some of your work. Alex: Yes, this is some of my work. So these pieces are from the latest spring/summer collection, and here are some other pieces which are made to order. Wendy: Where do you get your inspiration from for these textiles? Alex: I like going to museums, a lot of travelling involved, so I went to India, China, Thailand… really anywhere, even going for a walk in the park, you never know what you can see. Wendy: Alex hires in the photographer, model and make-up artist for her fashion shoots to show off her range of clothes in magazines and online. But what does it take to work in the fashion industry? Make-up artist: To be a good make-up artist you need to be a good communicator, creative and tough-skinned for the industry. Photographer: I couldn’t imagine myself working in an office, you know, 9 to 5. I just absolutely love photography and to make a living with, you know, through my work… it’s fun, yeah, I really, really enjoy it. Alex: Definitely, you have to have a passion, and you just have to keep going. Wendy: The training Alex has received has helped her create a successful business. Do you think for you, you had to go to university to learn what you do now? Alex: I think, erm, in any industry, I think it’s important to go to university. I think there’s no limit to what you can learn, and I think you can only make yourself better. Wendy: So, now you’re in fashion, is it all glamour? Alex: No… but it can be, it can be. It is what you make it. Wendy: So, as I’ve discovered today, behind the glamour of the fashion world is a lot of hard work and a wide set of skills.
