Here's what nobody tells you about breaking into fashion: the people who get ahead fastest aren't always the most talented. They're the ones who figured out how the industry actually works before it cost them anything to learn.

I spent over two decades figuring that out myself. Volunteering backstage at New York Fashion Week because that was the only way in. Building a production career from scratch after nearly a decade inside Ralph Lauren, because corporate credentials meant nothing in a world that runs on contacts and credits. Working with FIT, Parsons, the Amsterdam Fashion Academy and eventually stepping into the role of Vice President at my own alma mater, LIM College.

I founded Into the Fashion Industry because none of it came with a roadmap. All of it taught me something. And everything I built exists so your path is shorter than mine was.
