One of the things I'm confident of is my craft. My hands have made the most amazing products over the past 2 years. What breaks my heart is my mom is not around to celebrate this journey with me, she would have been proud

@anesuishe_ @Beth_Jdv @Dejavu_Apparel @risojeradi @Thick_N_Stylish @EdgarsZW @by_BAKARI @Denisekay05 6)this is not an exhaustive list but to conclude this thread, fashion is a huge industry estimated to be worth 31 billion in Africa alone by 2030 so it’s important to consider all the various career options in detail.Some resources include @FashionomicsADB @CiafeOrg .

@anesuishe_ @Beth_Jdv @Dejavu_Apparel @risojeradi @Thick_N_Stylish @EdgarsZW @by_BAKARI @Denisekay05 5)lastly, the fashion world is rapidly changing and since the pandemic, new roles have been created particularly in the space of AI/tech/digital such as data analysist, e-commerce specialist and 3D designer.

@anesuishe_ @Beth_Jdv @Dejavu_Apparel @risojeradi @Thick_N_Stylish @EdgarsZW @by_BAKARI @Denisekay05 4)another category of the sector to consider is storytelling/marketing which includes photographers, magazine editors, models, costume designers and content creators.

@anesuishe_ @Beth_Jdv @Dejavu_Apparel @risojeradi @Thick_N_Stylish @EdgarsZW @by_BAKARI @Denisekay05 3)moving away from the production side, perhaps you prefer the business side of things which may look like entrepreneurship, fashion buyer or brand management. in this case you can study a business or marketing program.

[Fashion Council of Zimbabwe @FCoZ9]

@anesuishe_ @Beth_Jdv @Dejavu_Apparel @risojeradi @Thick_N_Stylish @EdgarsZW @by_BAKARI @Denisekay05 2) or do you prefer the technical elements such as pattern drafting and preparing flat drawings which is the work of a technical designer. locally, we recommend institutions like @ChinhoyiCUT & Harare Polytechnic for your studies.

@anesuishe_ @Beth_Jdv @Dejavu_Apparel @risojeradi @Thick_N_Stylish @EdgarsZW @by_BAKARI @Denisekay05 Advice for someone considering a career in fashion in Zimbabwe [a thread]
1)the first step in navigating a career in fashion is to decide on what your endgame is. do you envision your day to day tasks looking like sketching + choosing fabric swatches as a fashion designer would?
