Hey there.
Ten years ago I graduated from an art school. I didn't specifically study fashion but I did develop every given project into something that was related to that.
My graduation collection consisted of printed scarves and fully printed sweatshirts. The project also included developing my branding etc.
I did sell some of my stuff in the university campus. But I ended up with some leftovers which I've always travelled with.
You may ask about the 10 year period - what happened there? Well, due to money reasons, I had to retrain to something that I did like and enjoyed but not necessarily loved (IT). I just happened to be successful in that alternative discipline.
I am thinking how could I resurrect my activity in fashion.
Creatively, I do enjoy fashion illustration and print design. I am also interested in digital product development but I don't think I am very competitive in the fashion industry CV-wise.
I was wondering if it makes sense to somewhat either show my pieces from the grad prject on IG or maybe send them to some stylists or some other fashion people somehow to see if there would be any interest in those.
Otherise, maybe I could sell them on depop or vinted (I live in the UK).
What would you do with the setup like mine, where you kinda would like to realise your creative desires but yet learn somehow about the business side of things without having any exposure to the industry.
How somebody with experience like mine could try to get into that world?
I do appreciate any advice!
