the Fashion Spot - View Single Post - The Language of Fashion: Which language is best to study?

Really? Cos I just have applied at about six places and been asked on three interviews for top fleet houses what languages I know and at no time was Portuguese mentioned at all.

I highly doubt it will be a must-learned foreign language for at least ten years. It doesn't have the same wealthy consumer base that Russia and the Arab states do. Period.

And right now, Russia is the emerging state. More and more Russians are being admitted to the couture federation and being seen front row at the top shows. In PR for example, one of the rolodexes I just saw was about 40% Russian customers. Ridic how much they will spend.
