Fashion Graduates Are Struggling — And Industry Experts Are Their Missing Link

Every year, thousands of fashion students graduate with talent, ambition, and beautifully crafted portfolios…
but the moment they step into the real world, everything changes.

They freeze in interviews.
They don’t know how to talk about their work.
They don’t understand what hiring managers actually look for.
And worst of all no one teaches them how.

Fashion school prepared them creatively…but not professionally.

Here’s a true-to-life example:

A recent grad I spoke to had a brilliant portfolio, but during her first interview she panicked, stumbled over her project explanations, and left the room in tears. She told me, “No one ever taught us how to present ourselves. We were just told to hope the work speaks for itself.”

It didn’t.
And she never heard back.

Stories like hers are everywhere and they highlight a major gap:

Fashion grads don’t need more design critiques.
They need guidance from people who understand the industry.

People like you.

Whether you’ve worked in design, production, styling, creative direction, education, or freelancing, your experience gives you insight grads desperately want but cannot get anywhere else.

And that’s why fashion interview coaching is such a powerful opportunity:
you get to help emerging creatives break into their careers while building an income stream that leverages your real-world expertise.

This Is for Fashion Professionals Ready to Make a Real Impact

You don’t need to be a life coach. You don’t need to build a course from scratch.

You just need your fashion industry experience and a system to help others succeed.

If you’re a:

• Fashion designer, retail consultant, pattern cutter, stylist, or creative

• Freelancer or educator with real-world experience

• Career switcher who knows the industry inside and out

• Mentor at heart who wants to monetize your knowledge

…this is made for you.

What You’ll Get Access To

If invited into the beta, you’ll be guided through:

• Run 1-on-1 sessions with fashion grads
• Guide them through mock interviews + portfolio reviews
• Use done-for-you scripts, prompts, and checklists
• Land paying clients, even if you’ve never coached before
• (Optional) Get your entire coaching business set up on a coaching platform in 1 day

• How coaching fits into the fashion industry (and where it doesn’t)

• The difference between mentoring, teaching, consulting, and coaching

• Identifying who you can genuinely help — and how

• Shaping a first coaching offer that feels aligned, not awkward

• Understanding pricing, boundaries, and confidence (the unglamorous but important bits)

No fluff. No theory. This is a real business you can launch quickly.

Why Waitlist Members Get the Best Deal

We’re offering a limited beta round before this opens to the public. That means:

• Limited places
• Direct input and feedback from participants
• A chance to shape the programme as it evolves
• Preferential beta pricing (always a nice bonus)
• Joining the waitlist doesn’t commit you to anything — it simply puts you first in line when details are released.

You’ll get to shape the first wave of coaches and have a serious edge when we expand our reach.

Who This Is Best For

You’ll feel at home here if you are:

• A fashion lecturer, tutor, or educator
• A fashion professional already advising others informally
• A stylist, designer, buyer, or consultant with years of experience
• Curious about coaching, but sceptical of the noise around it
• Wanting a more flexible, sustainable way to work — without losing credibility
