How do you get a job in a fashion magazine?

Question

fashion is a really hard industry to get into but i love it so much that i know that's what i want to do. i'm currently studying communications with an emphasis in photojournalism. i've been sewing clothes since i started high school (i'm 18 now). i've done a fashion show and ive made several dresses so i'm pretty experienced in sewing. my photo skills i think are good. i've done photography for about 4 years and i love it. i'm starting cosmetology in the fall as well. i think i have some good skills to get into the fashion industry but my only concern is how do you get a job in a fashion magazine? do i even have the right skills?

Answer 1

magazine job is typically for editors...do you write too?

if you want to do photography, focus on that, and build a portfolio.  sounds like you have a headstart in photojournalism.  again, build a portfolio.

If you want to do design, then do that with a portfolio, etc.

It's all about what do you WANT to do??
