Today we had a visit from Jenny Holloway who has a company called Fashion Capital. It was a really good session as it gave us a chance to talk to someone that had real experience being an entrepreneur. Jenny gave us a real insight into the highs and lows of the Fashion industry but she never stopped telling us to be positive and keep going when things go wrong, which is a big thing i have to personally work on.
I appreciated how honest Jenny was with us and how she let us into her personal life to give us real examples of the things that could go wrong in business and how to resolve the problems if this was to happen. We gained a lot of information through talking to Jenny and it really helped to clear up confusion in my mind about what the unit is all about. I explained to her the areas of the Fashion industry I am interested in and she pointed me in the direction of Creative Director. So this is something I am definitely going to look into more.
I am slightly taken back by the assignment that has been given to us as a group by Jenny but we have arranged to meet of Friday afternoon to discuss it further, which is good, so hopefully again this will clear things up!
