5 Years Fired and Flourishing: How I'm Teaching Y'all How to REALLY Start in Fashion (2025 Version)

Dela

Welcome back to another episode of The Haute Guide! Can y'all already believe it's been 5 years since I got fired?! That moment is what pivoted my journey in fashion into the brand you know today - so I'm using that as the catalyst for the 2025 version on how to get your start in fashion!

✨ Mentioned in This Episode:

  • 🇨🇳 How China's tariffs and luxury factory tea are shaking up the entire fashion game (and what that means for small brands and consumers)

  • 💰 Why it's time to lock your spending down, find your community, and prepare for the financial storms ahead

  • 👜 The real deal behind buying dupes and sourcing overseas — and why it ain't as easy (or drama-free) as TikTok makes it seem

  • 🎭 The behind-the-scenes of the Met Gala, why most people ain't invited, and why Wisdom Kaye deserves a damn seat at the table

  • 🛣️ My 4 non-negotiables for starting your career in fashion in 2025:

    • Research your market BEFORE you move

    • Build a strong personal brand — yes, even for corporate life

    • Get serious about networking online and in-person

    • Give yourself grace, space, and TIME — real growth ain't overnight
