Lorrie Ivas: Know that every single class you may have thought didn't specifically apply to 'what career you thought you wanted' will definitely benefit you and your success in the fashion industry. Your major in apparel and textiles has prepared you for the business and the art of this industry, as it is truly an art and a business. You have picked a career that you will never tire of, as you will be exposed to so many facets of the creation of fashion apparel / accessories/ textiles/interiors, et al. The fashion industry works with so many other industries that a textile designer may use their color knowledge in the beauty industry or may want to enter the lifestyle merchandising area (interiors, set design, etc.). Fashion promotion may steer one to fashion photography or styling while creating lookbooks or working on a fashion editorial. Long story short, take a chance in entering any facet of the apparel industry, as you will experience so many interesting paths that you never thought existed.
Elaine Grullón: Some technical skills that stand out to employers is the ability to combine the manual with the technology, in other words combining the old and new media. The rise of new media has caused a need to understand social media but not just the practical but the functional side which includes data analysis. You have to be able to answer questions related to why this trend or if not favorable how we can make improvements. It is all about adaptability and responding to a change in need or even want. Also having knowledge on using computer aided programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or even InDesign, it is important to be able to perform technical writing. Marketing is all about catching the consumers attention in that first moment. Without an understanding of design, and the principles and elements that go alongside the purpose of great marketing will be defeated.

Hope Wallace Simpara: I think that there will be an increase in demand in this field. Projects will still need to be developed, but the type of product will aim to satisfy a different customer need. Walmart had reported an increase in the sales of women's blouses and tops online during the first two months of the pandemic because of the shift to "work at home" culture. Amazon also reported an increase in "indoor fashion" category sales even though apparel sales overall had dropped. Companies that offer soft goods such as Wayfair and Williams-Sonoma have reported an uptick in furniture and soft-good sales since the pandemic started.
