"It鈥檚 a beautiful thing when a passion and a career come together."聽
This is one of my all-time favorite quotes not only because I have the honor of living and breathing my love for everything and anything fashion-related each day in the classroom, but also because I get to pave the way for my students to do the same in their future careers.
I enjoy challenging my students to see the fashion industry from every angle; especially the unexpected ones.聽 I pose thought-provoking questions that spark engaging in-class discussions.聽 What impact does the fashion industry鈥檚 practices have on the economy, environment, and the quality of life for individuals near and afar?聽 What can be done to lessen the possible negative effects of each?聽 What laws are in place to protect each constituent?聽 I have learned that students have so much insight to share related to these industry related issues.
