Georgia, Student of Break into the Fashion Industry, completed the course in November 2020
10 years ago I was right where you are today: I wanted to work in fashion but I had NO idea on what were the very first steps, the career opportunities and where to start...
I had zero connections, I didn't live in a fashion capital, I didn't have experience in this industry and I didn't attend a fashion school...
...I had zero confidence but BIG dreams.
And if you are here, I'm sure you have big dreams as well...
I TOTALLY understand how you're feeling, the questions you have and where are you now...
Today, after a decade in this industry, having worked at companies such as Yoox-Net-A-Porter, Kering, Alexander McQueen and as the CEO of the pioneer fashion career advice platform Glam Observer and the first and only to be featured in the Forbes Under 30 list for the Fashion Career Advice...
...I want to pass on all the secrets I learned so that you can turn your fashion dream into reality and break into the fashion industry quickly!
Let me break down some false assumptions about the fashion industry:
It's FALSE that you can't work in fashion if you don't have a fashion degree.
Most of the people who work in fashion actually have more "traditional" degrees in fact
It's FALSE that you already need experience in the field.
Every fashion professional, (including Anna Wintour!) started from scratch!
It's FALSE that if you don't know anyone you can't get a job.
BUT it's true that your connections will help you a lot! Luckily you are in the right place today even if now you're number of connections in fashion is zero!
Unconventional Strategies!
Fashion is very competitive, 500 people on average apply for the same job.
You can't get noticed if you keep doing what everyone else is doing.
In this course you are not going to find what people typically suggest to get a job.
THE ONLY WAY to get a job or internship in fashion in 2021 is to use unconventional strategies that will impress recruiters and managers! And you need to apply them the correct way.
Keep also this in mind: a creative and unconventional application overcomes any possible lack of skills and experience outlined in the job description ;)
With this course you'll learn how to do so. In 90% of the cases, people can't get a job in fashion because they use the wrong application strategies.
Exceptional CV, Cover Letters and Portfolio.. and something NEW!
Even if you'll learn new ways to find a job in fashion, the old documents such as your resume, cover letter and portfolio are still essential!
But with this course you'll learn that if you want to get a job in fashion you can't just create one resume, cover letter or portfolio and use them for all the jobs.
These documents not only need to have the right structure and template, but they also need to contain specific keywords and information to be approved by recruiters and even ATS (applicant tracking systems!).
PLUS I'll also reveal exclusive NEW resources that will go along with these 3 documents to triple your chances to get the job and prove you are the right one they need to hire!
The 2 CC: Connections and Confidence
Most of the jobs in fashion are assigned through word of mouth.
So how can you be part of these conversations so that you get to know about these job opportunities and people will recommend/propose you for a job/internship?
With this course you'll have your first fashion connections already TODAY even if now you have zero!
Wondering what you'll say to these fashion people you don't know?
How to start a conversation and how to turn that connection into a job?
Don't worry, we got you covered! You'll know exactly what and when to say what.
By the end of this courses you'll feel 100% confident!
I'm glad you asked! It means that you care about your investment and that you are considering who is going to be your Fashion Mentor!
First of all, I'm serious. Did I mention I graduated in management engineering and I also have a Master in Fashion Management? I'm quite a pragmatic and logical person. This is my job, what I've been doing full-time for 4 years now. It's my area of expertise. I live and breathe fashion career 24/7. If you follow me on Instagram you know that I almost never sleep. I'm always there for my community, always learning new things, testing new strategies for YOU.
Glam Observer is a registered Srl company in Milan, Italy, this is not a hobby, side hustle, or something I started a couple of months ago.
Even though this is a business, I never think with the money -mindset but with YOUR RESULTS in mind!
This particular course has been running for over 2 years now! It's the first one of this kind... and if I was just selling any course that doesn't bring results (it seems online courses are quite popular now ah!), I won't still be here today.
And I founded Glam Observer which is the first fashion career advice platform EVER! The original one, over 7 years ago. Plus I mentioned a bit more about my story above already.
If you don't trust me when I say that I know what I'm talking about, maybe it might assure you and your wallet that you're not wasting your money and time, the fact that I am the first and only one ever to be featured in the Forbes Under 30 list in the education category for this particular course about getting a job in fashion. When I got that Forbes nominee in March 2020 many people suggested me to increase my prices. I've decided that I still wanted to leave it affordable, as I say I don't think with the money in mind, but with your results!
But most of all, the reason why I can confidently say this is a life-changing course is because of the results of my students and how ALL the thousands of them from all over the world (Italy, US, UK, France, Spain...) are 100% happy and satisfied even during this global emergency, when it's more important than ever to use the right strategies as there are fewer jobs and you can't go wrong in your applications and miss opportunities. I've added new strategies and adjusted them to make sure that you'll be able to use powerful strategies even in these hard times! And I've always been there to support and motivate all of my students.
And they are seeing results! Look below
"After my graduation I was looking for a course that could help me professionally. I applied to several jobs and didn’t hear back. Then I came across Glam Observer. I highly recommend the How to Break into the Fashion Industry course! Whether you are a student, or you already have lots of work experience and are looking to change careers, this course is very helpful! The section that helped me the most was The Fashion Job Application Tools section. The downloadable spreadsheets helped me stay organized during my job search. Although, I had previous work experience in the fashion industry I learned so much more about different career paths including Fashion PR, Journalism, Styling and Buying.
After taking this course, I got a job at Tory Burch and completed an internship at SMCP (Sandro, Maje, Claudie Pierlot, De Fursac)"
- Mariangela
"I enrolled in this course during my final year in advertising. I wanted to know how to approach the world of fashion, as it is a very competitive and exclusive. The course provided me with a lot of important information, for example what the most popular roles consisted of (stylist, buyer, etc.). But above all it helped me to understand how important it was to expand my network, how to write a CV that could attract attention and highlight my qualities, and how to write Cover Letter.
Thanks to this course I was able to introduce myself through a CV and a Cover Letter which allowed me to win a scholarship for a Master in fashion in Paris and subsequently find several internships in the world of fashion (Pr agency and Christian Dior) "
- Eleonora
"This course is so worthwhile! I studied design at university but have felt completely lost since graduating. This course clearly broke down the best ways to approach getting your dream job and in a really enjoyable, inspiring and manageable way. Each module is full of information, and the templates that Giada has created are such valuable tools to have. Through this course, Giada teaches you things that people don’t typically tell you about applying to jobs in fashion, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is trying to secure their dream job. I’m now approaching the whole application process with completely fresh eyes - thank you so much Giada!!"
- Marina S.
"In the course I learned how to email fashion companies and people, where to find the email addresses even when online there aren't, I used the email templates and I got a job at CR Fashion Book AND L'Officiel!"
And I chose to work at CR Fashion Book!"
- Eman
"I secured my dream Fashion Marketing internship at Extras Group! Over 80+ People applied and in the middle of a pandemic! I can’t believe it! Thank you so much the course was extremely helpful!!!!"
- Georgia
"This course was incredibly useful and beneficial while starting out in the fashion industry. It contains some excellent insights for tips on how to network and gain recruiter’s attention. For me, applying to jobs during the pandemic was a long and difficult process – this course gave me ‘the light at the end of the tunnel’ and motivated me to keep pushing. Having been through the course and job search myself, I personally think that nothing is more important than surrounding yourself with driven, motivated individuals that will lift you up and encourage you. I found this sense of community through Glam Observer and find it such a crucial part of advancing professionally.”
- Iantha now works at Coty on brands such as Marc Jacobs and Tiffany & Co.
"I decided to sign up for the Break in Fashion course after I attended a free webinar and it immediately sparked my interest. I thought I knew a lot about recruitment within the fashion industry but this course caught me off guard. I learned so much and it helped me better understand what I want and don't want to do. I am in the process of completion, but I can't wait to start sending my applications incorporating all the helpful tips Giada gave me. I believe these will help me massively as they are not something you figure out by yourself, you need someone with experience to tell you. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to pursue a career in the fashion industry but doesn't know how to enter it or what career path to choose. "
- Hana M.
"Giada’s course is well broken down and easy to follow! It provides helpful tips, insider tricks and shows you how to think outside of the box to get noticed in a highly competitive industry. I am currently studying for a Masters and only in the first section of completing the online course but already feel much more knowledgable about the fashion application process and unconventional means to apply for jobs. I have gained great confidence to put myself out there and begin communicating with industry professionals. Overall really motivating and helpful, I’m sure it will help me apply myself to reach my goals!
- Melissa D.
Hear how Eman went from not getting responses to working at CRFashionBook with no fashion degree, no previous experience.. just implementing the unconventional strategies she learned in the course!!
"Invest in yourself, it always pays off.
I wasn't getting responses from fashion brands...
then after the course I reached out to 4 magazines and got a job at L'Officiel and CR Fashion Book!
I had the opportunity to choose between two magazines! I then went with CRFashionBook.
I don't have a fashion degree, I had zero experience and I don't live in a fashion capital..."

The break into the fashion industry course is very practical and actionable (rather than theory/opinion/fluff). It’s 4-5 hours of content that you could watch in one weekend. And it is based on a system. It’s literally like, “do all this stuff and you’ll see results.” I tell you what to do and in what order.
MODULE 1: An overview of the Fashion Industry and its Career possibilities PLUS How to understand what Fashion Job Is made for you
Whether you already have clear ideas of what fashion job is made for you, you want to know what are the different careers in fashion or you want to explore other options, in this first module will see together what are the different career options in fashion, the structure of fashion departments and the career possibilities from the bottom, to what you'll become in 10 years. We will see the skills required for each career and how to get started for each (little secret: each career in fashion has different ways to begin, for a buyer, I'd recommend doing X to get started, for an aspiring stylist I recommend Y to get started...) plus we will do together a fun but very useful exercise to understand what fashion job is made for you. Understanding what is the right job/department for you is the first step for a successful application. So many people actually can't get a job in fashion because even if they know what career to go with, they make some mistakes in the job search process.
MODULE 2: The Fast-Track Unconventional Fashion Job Application Strategies
In this module we will see:
MODULE 3: The Fashion Job Application Tools
Writing an outstanding CV and the perfect Cover Letter is the first step to getting a job in fashion. You'll learn step-by-step how to create the perfect CV and Cover letter specifically for the fashion industry AND how to customize them to each fashion job with the list of keywords! Plus new resources (AKA your secret weapons) to send along these documents that will triple your chances to get the job/internship!
MODULE 4: Fashion Internships
You don't have experience in fashion yet? Fashion Internships represent your ticket to the fashion industry! In this module, you'll learn what to do before, during and after your fashion internship, what are the different fashion internship opportunities, what are the fashion internships that will lead you to a job, unpaid internships and interning in a fashion capital.
MODULE 5: How to Build your Network in Fashion from scratch
Networking is crucial for your career in fashion. Most of the jobs are assigned through word-of-mouth so the more people you know, the more career opportunities you'll have not only at the beginning of your career but also later, when you want to change job or company.
With this module, the word "networking" will no longer scare you. You'll learn how to network on LinkedIn, Instagram, via email, and in-person with confidence! You'll know exactly WHO you should network with, what and when to say what. You'll also get a list of 100+ fashion professionals to follow (stylists, editors, fashion professionals...) . Plus you'll learn how to cultivate your connections in the future and how to turn them career opportunities.
MODULE 6: How to Ace a Job Interview with a Fashion Company
When you secure a job interview you are very close to your dream job so you can't go wrong in this step. It's just you and a couple of other applicants. YOU have to tell and show them you are the one they are looking for. You'll learn what to do, how to prepare and how to behave during the different steps of a job interview (phone, online, in-person, skills test...) PLUS you'll find a list of the most common questions they ask and an extra tip from BURBERRY’s Talent Acquisition Manager
If you don't have a personal brand online, you're missing job opportunities. Fashion recruiters nowadays check your online presence when they receive your application but also to find the perfect candidate to hire. So you want to make sure that all your social profiles (Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn) and your online portfolio are on point to get the job! In this module you'll also see 6 case studies of fashion professionals who excel at personal branding.

I have zero experience in fashion. Will this course help me?
Of course! Fashion internships are the first option for those who don't have experience in fashion. There is an entire module on fashion internships and how to get your first one! Hannah, my first student, got her first internship at a prestigious company with no previous experience in the industry, thanks to this course! How does this sound ;) ?
I live in France/Italy/Spain/US/UK... Will this course help me too?
The strategies of How to break into the fashion industry are international. You can apply them in any city you are to get a job wherever you want. Do you live in Italy and want to work in London? Do you live in Spain and want to work in Paris? Are you from New York and want to work in New York? You don't you live in a fashion capital and want to stay at home and work in fashion anyway? The course is for everyone :)
I did two internships in fashion, but now I cannot find a new job. Is this course for me?
This course is for those who are struggling with getting a job in fashion. Whatever is your previous situation :) If you don't have a fashion job yet, it doesn't mean the fashion industry is not made for you, you're just doing something wrong when applying. With this course you'll get all the tools and learn all the strategies and industry secrets to get in fashion quickly
I attended a fashion school. I'm afraid that the lessons of the course are similar to the lessons of the fashion school I took.
Well, obviously I don't know which school or fashion course you attended so I don't know the lessons you took. But I can tell you from my experience (I have a master in fashion) and from the opinions of the students (some students of this online course studied at Istituto Marangoni, Central Saint Martins, Condè Nast College of Fashion, Polimoda) and they all confirmed is a completely different approach. In this course, I do not teach you the styling or design techniques or how to write a fashion article. How to break into the fashion industry is focused on getting a job for every career option you choose. It gives you the practical tools you need to get into the working world of fashion. Consider How to break into the fashion industry as a complementary course to the lessons you took at your fashion school.
