With this in mind, how are Australian Designers finding their feet in an industry against multi-million dollar design enigmas?
Australia has recently started making its mark in the competitive world of frocks, catwalks and waif thin models. With home-grown talent such as Michael Lo Sordo, Arthur Avenue and Polynkova, slowly reaching out to the Australian market with delightfully simple and unique designs, any advocate of fashion can not deny that the fashion industry of Australia is blooming into the next must-haves of your wardrobe.
Like any industry, knowledge and originality is something that always seems to benefit those who break through the niche market. Dreams and reality become an interlaced facade, where our designers colour the world with their creations breathing life and vibrant energy to the lives of the fashion conscious public.
After talking to Sydney-based designers, the best way to get a break in the Australian fashion industry is to offer your services to people for work experience, either with a designer or at a magazine. Compile a list of magazines or designers you admire and start approaching them.
Completing a course in design always seems to help broaden your options, but with the key of passion, one is always bound to find an avenue that can be molded into what you desire. It isn't all glitz and glamour at the start and for those who envision champagne and parties with the rich and famous, will be bitterly disappointed. But never give up. Focus and determination are great strengths for any career paths and with the support of FACE Fashion, breaking the ice and leading you through the challenges, its one less thing to worry about when you take on the world of Fashion.
