Fashion Editor
If the idea of Fashion and Creativity excite you, becoming a Fashion Editor could be what you are looking for
Combining the Fashion, Creative and Advertising worlds will be the centre of your working day.
It is the responsibility of the Fashion Editor to supervise the processes for creating, devleoping and presenting the content for fashion-specific magazines as well as photo shoots, websites, newspaper sections or television shows.
Editors occupy the mid to highest-level positions at publications. Under the guidance of the editor-in-chief, it is the responsibility of the Editor to decide on the creative influence and direction that their departments will pursue during a given season or issue.
Their careers may specilise in a particular field such as:
- apparel,
- accessories,
- beauty and make-up; or
- clothing
Some Fashion Editors choose to work freelance, working on a contractual basis when required to do shoots for publications.
Due to the deadline-driven nature of their work, both salaried and freelance editors should enjoy a fast-paced environment. In addition, editors are often required to travel to keep up with the latest fashion trends through meetings with designers and visits to fashion shows throughout the world (e.g., New York, Paris, London, and Milan), retail stores, specialty boutiques, and vintage clothing stores.
