How to create the perfect résumé? What are a successful résumé’s essential items and in what order should they be listed? How to highlight our background and our dreams for the future? How to highlight our extracurricular activities? And then: how to send out a résumé, and how should a creative looking for a job in fashion integrate one’s résumé  with a portfolio and possible cover letter?

We addressed all these themes on November 5 in a special webinar focusing on the perfect CV for a job in fashion, featuring Lory Yedid, Partner of Value Search.

With a long career in the Luxury and Fashion industry, Lory started working for the Gianni Versace Group,  where in the last years she held the position of Worlwide Sales Director.  She then set up her own showroom in via della Spiga, Milan, managing the distribution of brands such as Versus, Christian Lacroix and Narciso Rodriguez. She started working in executive search for a firm based in Paris, overseeing important placements within the Luxury, Fashion and Distribution industries. In 2003 she set up the firm’s branch office in Italy. She has been a Partner in Value Search since 2005. Lory  is a languages graduate and speaks French, English and Spanish.

Also a Fashion Portfolio is crucial for any creative looking for a job in fashion. Alongside one’s resumé, the portfolio tells who the designer is,  and who they want to become. Specifically, the fashion portfolio will include the best works created when studying or working for brands or on special projects. Creating a successful and accurate Fashion Portfolio, explaining thoroughly the designer’s creative world, is the best way to find a job in fashion and gain visibility with head hunters and fashion houses’ HR departments.  

How to create the perfect fashion portfolio and make it the key to access the job market? How to use it properly to gain the attention of head hunters or brands’ HR selectors?

Valentina Maggi, Global Director of the Design Practice at Floriane de Saint Pierre & Associés, explained us how to create the perfect fashion portfolio in this webinar

In addition, the Portfolio Review initiative with Vogue Talents’ team goes on. Throughout the years, Vogue Talents has created countless opportunities for school and university students and for under-40 clothing and accessories designers, illustrators and creatives from all over the world to showcase their work to Sara Sozzani Maino, Deputy Editor of Vogue Italia and Head of Vogue Talents and to the Vogue Talents editors. In times of coronavirus, the scouting of talents has never stopped, as we have continued to e-meet creatives from all over the world through the Portfolio Review digital sessions. Besides their portfolios, we have also examined and commented on their résumés.
