Look no further. The Fashion Industry Network is an ideal networking platform for industry professionals to communicate, exchange ideas, or share experiences and resources that can aid their careers and enhance their businesses. Visitors may post comments or questions in the general forums, or they can post topical messages in a specific group. Members may also have discussions with one another on their personal profile pages. In addition, if a member wishes to ask another member a question in private, they can send a confidential e-mail message. The Fashion Industry Network site currently has 73 groups and is constantly growing. Larger groups include Marketing and Fashion Design, but there are a host of other groups that are designed to meet the needs of different niches of the industry. These include: UK Fashion; Green Fashion; Personal Image Consulting; Textile-fabrics-fibers; and Stylists-hairstylists-makeup. Recent online conversations have included sources for fabrics that are made of bamboo, and questions about how to become a fashion publicist.
Founded by Apparel Search (www.apparelsearch.com), an online resource for people working in the apparel and textile industries, the Fashion Industry Network launched in July 2007 and quickly garnered more than 1,500 members from various avenues of the industry. The network appears to be on pace to surpass the 10,000 member milestone before its third anniversary. Apparel Search is the first online business network devoted entirely to the fashion industry, with a primary goal to unite members of the industry in a friendly setting that fosters communication. An international community, members span the globe from the United States and Great Britain to the Netherlands, South Africa, Russia, India, and China. Each member can choose to join groups that meet their current needs or help them move into another area of interest. Members can also showcase their work by posting fashion photos, videos, and blogs to the site.
Roderick Rowser, a fashion designer and active member of this site, says, "The Fashion Industry Network is a stellar concept. I left the industry for 10 years and through contacts from the network, have found fabrics and services that would have taken me years of running around. When I need something, I go straight to the network and ask, whether it's a favor or a paid consultation, a model to do fit work, or someone to produce samples in Sri Lanka."
In addition to being a valuable site for industry insiders, aspiring industry professionals can also find out how the industry operates a lesson that is difficult to learn by simply being in a classroom environment. Fashion Industry Network is an ideal destination for learning the ins and outs of the industry.
