BOC Week 2: Voice

Fashion is a means of self-expression and a way that people communicate their personalities to others without the need for words. This is one of the reasons I decided to pursue a career in the fashion industry. A culmination of passions for style and knowledge has led me to fashion writing and marketing. From experience I know that looking one’s best is the only way to achieve success, whether that be professionally or socially. The total look is not only important in personal appearance but also in the quality of work I put my name on. Examining the marketplace for the newest trends and staying current with up and coming designers keeps my work fresh and relevant. Understanding the pace of the fashion industry and the standards that have been set with publications like Women's Wear Daily keeps me ahead of the curve. In an age where everyone is an authority on fashion and can make their voice heard in numerous fashion blogs, I eventually hope that my writing will inspire and inform my audience of the importance of fashion in today’s society and how to utilize all the tools and style options that are available today.
