When we asked one of Melbourne's leading inspirational and successful Fashion Business Entrepreneur, Vicki Popovsky from the Red Carpet Boutique & Vicoola Fashionista during a live interview chat during the event on the question:
"What will be her advice to the up and coming younger generation of Fashion Designers of today that wanting to start a fashion business?"
Vicki Popovsky shared some valuable industry insights to JC Indahaus Media Correspondents, Cassidy Poon and Johnny Saluni that,
"This industry values work experience and education, so try to get as much experience as possible in some area of the industry while you are in school. In fashion, it is often said that "what you know and who you know" can provide you with a golden career opportunity."
"If you know people in the industry, try to nurture and build relationships with them. Often, they will know other people in the industry and will recommend you for a job. This is known as networking. Statistics indicate that nearly seventy-five percent of all jobs are obtained through word-of-mouth and personal connections."
"Many seasoned professionals claim that networking is often the key to landing that special job. So, follow your dream. Spend time visiting your tafe or Uni guidance counselor, and speak with as many people in the industry as possible. Be prepared to work hard. Most importantly, be realistic and don't be discouraged. If you are passionate and love what you do, anything is possible!" said Vicki Popovsky to JC Indahaus Media Correspondents, Cassidy Poon & Johnny Saluni.
The amazingly stunning and culturally divine Filipino National Costumes 2014 is designed, styled and dressed by the talented Louis Gabriel Gonzalez Fashionhouse from Manila and Harley Ruedas from Cebu.
The Mutya ng Pilipinas and the Rio De Janeiro Charity dinner dance were combined to support poor children in the Philippines. Choy Symes said the charity dinner was able to raise $6K. For years now, the Share-Me-A-Dream has been helping the underprivileged Filipino children in the Philippines.
