FASHION BOOK REVIEW 4: Love X Style X Life by Garance Dore

I like that this book shows an unconventional approach to getting involved in the fashion industry. One question I get all the time is, How do I get into fashion later in life, or as a second career? This is a great example of someone who didn’t intentionally go into fashion, and even did so later in life, at a slightly older age. She studied communications in school. She didn’t study fashion. Her first job was in the cinema department of a museum, again, not in fashion. Her first stint in fashion was as an illustrator. She started blogging in 2006, at around 31 years old. So if there is one thing you take away from this book, it should be this. There are many ways to approach the fashion industry, and here is one creative way to inspire you to start your fashion journey. As Scott Schuman once said to Garance: “You have to create your own definition of success.” Comment below and tell me how you got involved in the fashion industry, or how you plan on getting involved in the fashion industry. Extra points for unconventional journeys! ________________________________________ Hi, I'm Emily. I approach fashion topics from a designer's point of view.
