What Actually Happens After a Fashion Degree?
Graduation is often framed as a clear beginning, a starting point into the industry you’ve spent years preparing for. However, in fashion, the reality is rarely that straightforward. While the image of stepping straight into a defined role persists, the first year after graduation is often defined by uncertainty, experimentation and unexpected detours. From freelancing and internships to retail roles and starting independent projects, fashion graduates navigate a landscape that looks very different from the one they imagined.
