Currently trying to figure out my path after taking a gap year post high school! FOR YEARS I wondered what Yuyu did for work and this came at the perfect time, I never knew marketing opened doors for such high luxury brands, thank you so much for this 💓💓💓💓

Thank you for this comprehensive video; I feel like the fashion industry is kinda elusive in its workings, specially to outsiders so this was super helpful in understanding the basic scaffolds and categories within the industry. It would be interesting to hear more about your day to day (ex)job and what that work entails. Thanks again & good luck with your future endeavors, you will shine regardless!

When I just came out from college (near to 20 yrs ago) I worked in “beauty company that distributing the luxury cosmetics, skincare, and fragrances … all colleagues in office (all ages) dress up nicely everyday carry different branded bags and branded heels , nice watches … but I was only earning near 3k a month… I wondering where their money came from … even if you make 2k more than me I don’t think you can afford so many branded bags and nice stuff since we all need to pay for cars , rental , food …

@violondon8776 Ай бұрын

@@ho-thoo-family I think in many cases, especially in the fashion industry, people are coming from already wealthy families so these people don't care so much about their salary. I remember when working for a big e-comm brand in Germany, many of my colleagues had nice Audi's and the newest Prada shoes or bags, while me and most of my other colleagues were taking public transport and essentially living pay check to paycheck. As much as I love fashion and truly consider it my passion and expertise career-wise, I am slowly venturing out and looking to move more towards consulting or finance roles in the industry :) Also, working for 1 specific brand as opposed to a multi-brand reseller, you do making a better salary but it is much harder to enter in this big fashion brands.

fashion student here, thanks so much for the info. i'm currently switching fashion schools and majors from art direction to business and you said a lot of informative things, so lots of thanks. when it comes to the salary and payment i've heard (from my professors) that people working on the business side of the industry are way more stable than the creatives, that's one of the reasons why i made the switch. i believe that with a few side incomes, i won't be struggling one day. wish me luck 🥺💛🍀

@donnadalia Ай бұрын

As a fashion designer, for the last tip you mentioned I would also add - ask yourself do you really like fashion or do you just like shopping? Because many many people in my course dropped out, after a month, when they realised they liked shopping/looking at luxury fashion but NOT making it (we started with around 100 people, only 26 of us graduated).

@komolkovathana8568 Ай бұрын

I would say, the team in Production House and the group of Sales' Staff (marketing, including E-commerce) are totally different kind of jobs/tasks they performed. Even from time to time they met to incorporate on the TREND, the Tip-in Style, the Outstanding point of Attraction, the Seasons' mix & match, the Selection etc that brought on to lots of debates (which you called on the meeting as a headache of Very, very delicate/minute details, including the Client Complaints.. that should belongs to the Production (& Design) staff, but as you're in the same BOAT.. the cons of too many (multiple) tasks that kicked you in ..for 5 years, i think it's quite understandable...the reason(s) while YuYu finally ended her career there.!! (I felt a bit sad of missing the chance of 5-years' effort, esp in a big name brand, don't you feel?)

She s already talked it all, in pros & cons, what she loves & hates the most. I guess the Hate weighs a bit more than her love for it (fash).. stress, multiple tasks, the EXCEL (i wonder, nowadays most people use Power Point for presentation, not Excel?) And i think yuyu also think about traveling around, rather than 24/7 in Shanghai (& Milan) same place (& same Mall, after lunch) for 5 years.!!
