Job search: Fashion

Are you aspiring to be the next Donna Karan, Prabal Gurung or even Coco Chanel but you’re out of work? Although the industry is notoriously competitive, if you’re a wannabe fashion girl you might not be job searching in the right place. With New York Fashion Week coming to a close, Indeed.com, has compiled a list of where you should be looking to get your high-heeled foot in the door…

Here is a list of the top companies with the most fashion related job postings right now (not including retail jobs):

·         Urban Outfitters

·         Ralph Lauren

·         Warnaco

·         Fossil

·         Macy’s

·         Forever 21

·         The Jones Group

In addition, with fashion week over some frustrated fashionistas might need a new design gig, so Indeed.com has compiled the top 10 cities with “fashion designer” job postings.
