Fashion Industry : Retail Manager

If you enjoy dealing directly with the public, you might consider a career as a retail manager. A fashion retail manager, also sometimes known as a fashion store manager, oversees the activities of a store that sells accessories and/or garments to the general public. Retail managers are responsible for making sure that the cashiers, salespeople, and other employees of a store perform the tasks necessary for the store to succeed. Fashion retail managers design and implement sales plans; discuss problems and new sales strategies with the store's employees and/or the district manager who oversees the area in which the store is located (if the store is part of a large chain); establish a budget for the store and establish strategies that the store can use to stay within its budget; help employees answer questions and find products for customers; help employees handle customer complaints, problems with customers, and transaction issues; hire cashiers, salespeople, and other store employees; order new accessories and/or garments for the store; report the store's sales and count the money that the store takes in each day; schedule employees to make sure that every shift is covered and that salaries are within budget; set up signs and displays; and supervise and train the store's employees.

A fashion retail manager typically earns between $25,000 and $50,000 a year, but some may make as little as $20,000 a year if managing his or her first small store or as much as $65,000 a year if managing a large store for quite some time. The amount a fashion retail manager makes is also heavily based on the area in which he or she works. A fashion retail manager may be able to make significantly more than usual if he or she works for a large store or a major retail chain on the East or West Coast of the United States rather than for a company located in another part of the country. Fashion retail managers also typically make a sizable portion of their income from the sales that the store makes on commission (a portion of the money collected from each sale) and/or the bonuses that they receive if the store makes a profit.

Specific requirements for becoming a fashion retail manager vary. Most companies require that you have a high school diploma or a General Educational Development (GED) credential, have at least two years of experience in a customer service or retail position related to the fashion industry, pass a background check, and complete a training program. Some companies may also require or prefer that you have an associate's degree or a bachelor's degree in business or management, a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and/or another similar degree.

Fashion Industry : Marketer

One of the less glamorous, but still important, fashion careers you can pursue is that of a marketer. A fashion marketer creates advertising campaigns and/or marketing plans that an individual or company can use to sell its products. Fashion marketers are responsible for making sure that each accessory and garment is presented to the retailers or consumers in the best way possible. Fashion marketers analyze current trends to determine if a new idea or design is marketable or not; determine which age group, gender, or geographical area is more likely to buy the product and gather other information about their target market; discuss new ideas and designs with fashion designers to determine the qualities that may make the new design more marketable; draft advertisements and/or marketing plans that emphasize the qualities of a particular design and convince individuals within the target market to purchase it; draft plans for fashion shows that include details about which and how accessories and garments will be displayed; estimate the total cost of an advertising or marketing campaign and create a budget; review and edit advertisements to make sure that they convey the desired message to the target market; and set the suggested retail price for the accessory or garment based on the cost to produce the product, the target market, and other similar factors.

A fashion marketer typically earns between $55,000 and $95,000 a year, but some may make as little as $35,000 a year if just starting out in a small marketing company or as much as $125,000 a year if a senior marketer at a large marketing firm. The amount that a fashion marketer makes is also heavily based on his or her education. A fashion marketer may be able to make significantly more than usual if he or she has a master's degree in marketing or another similar field. Fashion marketers also typically receive bonuses if their advertising and marketing campaigns are extremely successful; these bonuses can add anywhere from a few thousand dollars to over $15,000 a year to their income.

Specific requirements for becoming a fashion marketer vary. Most companies require that you have a high school diploma or a General Educational Development (GED) credential, a bachelor's degree or a master's degree in advertising or marketing, and some marketing or sales experience (typically two to five years of experience as a fashion salesperson, marketing assistant, marketing intern, or another similar marketing or sales professional). Some companies may also require or prefer that you have a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a concentration in marketing, a bachelor's degree in fashion design, and/or another similar degree, especially if you are attempting to obtain an upper-level position as a fashion advertising manager or a fashion marketing manager.

Fashion Industry : Pattern maker

A pattern maker, also sometimes known as a fabric pattern maker or an apparel pattern maker (depending on the type of pattern), takes a fashion designer's design and breaks it down into a series of pieces. Pattern makers are responsible for making sure that a manufacturer or a sewer can assemble the accessories and garments that a fashion designer has designed. Pattern makers examine each design to determine the best way to break the pattern down into a series of pieces that can be reassembled; make paper outlines of each part of the design to make sure that the design can be reassembled correctly; make a set of instructions that a manufacturer can use to reassemble the design from the pattern; make notes on the pattern to indicate where each piece should be attached and where each feature (button, pocket, zipper, etc.) should be located; determine the best way for a manufacturer to use the pattern in order to produce as many accessories and garments as possible with as few materials as possible; talk to fashion designers and manufacturers about the designs and patterns; and use charts, computers, and other similar equipment to modify the pattern so that a manufacturer can have several different variations to reproduce in different sizes.

A pattern maker typically earns between $25,000 and $50,000 a year, but some may make under $18,000 a year if just starting out in a textile company or over $75,000 a year with a lot of experience and if working for a large apparel company. The amount that a pattern maker earns is also heavily based on the area in which the individual works. A pattern maker may be able to make significantly more than usual if he or she works for a major company located on the East or West Coast of the United States rather than a company located in other parts of the country. A pattern maker may be able to join a textile workers union; union members typically earn more than nonunion workers.

Specific requirements for becoming a pattern maker vary from job to job. Most companies require that you have a high school diploma or a General Educational Development (GED) credential and some experience in the fashion industry (typically more than a year of experience as a custom seamstress or tailor, fashion assistant, fashion design intern, fashion designer, sketching assistant, tailoring intern, or textile worker). While a college degree is not typically required for a pattern-making position, some companies may require or prefer that you complete a series of courses in fashion design or manufacturing at an art school, community college, college, university, or technical school.
