Fashion Career Blog Posts

In this section you will find blog posts about fashion careers: notices of industry job appointments, career opportunities and internships, along with resume and interview guidance. The posts collected here are the executive-moves side of that coverage — the appointments and leadership changes the fashion blog reported in 2014 and 2015 — and the page links the fashion jobs section, the internship term and the fashion careers and job search pages at the top for readers who are looking for work rather than news.

About Fashion Careers Coverage

The appointment posts read as a cross-section of the industry's executive tier. Three Nordstrom Co-Presidents and New CEO at Kenneth Cole: Marc Schneider cover the top of two major retailers. Fashion Executive Brian Lynch Named President and CEO of Justice covers a children's retailer appointment, and Michael Rayden Retirment from Ascena Retail Group and Kathryn Bufano Replacing Brendan Hoffman at The Bon-Ton Stores cover a retirement and a succession. The public relations side appears twice: Adam McCollum Appointed Director of PR John Varvatos and Juliana Shyu Appointed PR Manager. Xeros Global Commercial Laundry Career Update is the services entry, from the laundry technology side of the trade.

Two posts address job seekers directly. Explore a Career in the Fashion Industry is the overview post, surveying the industry's occupations — design, merchandising, buying, retail management, public relations, production and the technical trades. Fashion Jobs for Women Only reports a women-focused employment initiative. Readers acting on either post should continue to the job search pages linked in the topic block below, which organize openings by category — womenswear, menswear, merchandising, modeling and more — and by location, including the international careers guide.

Executive appointment news is worth reading even for readers who will never hold the jobs, because appointments signal strategy: a new chief executive from a merchandising background implies a product-led plan, a new PR director implies a brand push, and a co-president structure, as at Nordstrom in these posts, signals a succession being prepared in public. The fashion blog's careers coverage collects these moves in one index so the pattern across companies can be seen, rather than each announcement standing alone.
