Exposed: Confessions of a Fashion Marketing Student


I love the exposure I have received the past two years of being a fashion marketing student...actually in a way all this exposure has me confused on what I actually want to be when I get into the industry.

Before coming to The Art Institute of Charlotte I had dreams of moving to Miami, Florida and opening a swimwear boutique with my swimsuit collection and brand. Now, after being exposed to so much, I want to be so much. Some days I want to be a creative director at an existing fashion magazine, or one that I've created. Other days I want to be a fashion stylist, visual merchandiser and even a fashion show coordinator. But in the end, I loved that I was exposed to writing a business plan, designing store layouts and window displays, re-launching fashion lines with new marketing strategies, blogging and designing fashion magazines.

Although at times I do not like my school, I love the teachers for exposing and believing in me!
