A friend of mine recently asked me if having a career in fashion was impossible because she did not live in NYC. In case there are others who have the same question, I'd love to offer an answer.
When starting out, I
set my sights on moving to the Big Apple, the center of the Fashion World. NYC,
to me, was the beacon of the fashion industry. While NYC remains to be the fashion
capital of our industry, it is now the center to many fashion hubs across the
US. Technology keeps us connected, and not limited to our location.
If you're looking for
a fashion career but not located on either coast, I’ve compiled a list of companies
and their locations. If you would like to know more about these companies, a
quick Google search would do the trick. I hope you find it helpful.
While the companies I list are headquarter corporate offices, I think our retail sector deserves the most honorable mention! In retail, there's selling, visual merchandising, styling, managing, and so much more. Retail also offers the most opportunity across the US. So to answer both my friend's and your question, "you absolutely can work in fashion without moving to NYC".
