Many are talented but few actually make it in the world of fashion. If there is one piece of advice for those seeking fashion success, it would be to pay close attention to the methodologies of the top brands of today. Especially ones with a long-standing history. If you have no idea where to begin, start with Macy’s.
There is no special test to take, you won’t need a student loan, it’s a cost-free program open to minorities and women. Macy’s is looking for new talent to fill their hand-picked class for the coveted Workshop at Macy’s. The workshop is a free, 4-day program designed to give entrepreneurs the tools to sustain growth and thrive in the retail industry.
