One of my favorite brands is Free People, which is described as a Boho and Indie style. Everything they make is colorful and unique. Whenever you walk into a Free People store, not only do the clothes catch your eye, but the store beautiful store decorations do too.
I went onto the Free People website to check out their job opportunities and see what typed of jobs they offer. Not only do they have sales associates and store managers, but they also have job openings for visual management in stores. I like that they have a whole career for visual arts for Free People because it is both art and fashion tied in together. To me, that sounds like a creative and time consuming job but I would love to be a visual manager. A few traits that Free People looks for in their employees are passion, commitment, honesty, spirit, curiosity, creativity, happiness, intelligence, and pride.
If you have read my past posts, you will know that i am interested in FIDM. A representative from FIDM visited our school last Thursday to provide more information about the school to those interested in it. Her visit was really helpful to me and i learned a lot more than i knew. I also did hear her talk about some things that i knew about after researching about FIDM for my last post.

Post #3: FIDM
Hello Reader!
I have been learning about FIDM, which stands for Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. FIDM is a private college that educates students in fields of Fashion, Entertainment, Interior Design, and Graphics. There are currently four locations including San Francisco, Downtown Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. I am interesting in taking a tour of FIDM San Francisco, which i learned is offered through the website. Not only does this school help with fashion and graphic designing, but it also teaches students how to merchandise and buy for major companies and department stores. Some jobs from FIDM include designing textiles, designing new clothes for a doll, or even designing a dress for an Oscar nominated Movie. I like that this school provides many different branches of design. I am most interested in the fashion field. From looking through the website, i learned that there are four careers for Majors in fashion, including the Designer, Design Director, Associate Designer, and Technical Designer. Under the Creative Director section, Visual Communications caught my eye. In that field, it is your job to design sets for runway shows and gallery openings. Lastly, Merchandise Marketing sounded interesting to me as well. According to the FIDM website, one must be organized and a born leader to be a good Merchandise Marketer and i think i am both. I always try my best to be organized and not lose things. Also, I was ASB class president last year and i could relate to that for the leader part. I am glad that I have started to research about fashion schools, especially ones that are close to me. I am now understanding more about the different fields of fashion and i believe that FIDM may be a choice for me!
