Lessons learned: 8 fashion execs give career advice to their younger selves

Don’t think you can predict or even map your career

“I’d tell my younger self to go with the flow. When I left university, I thought I wanted to write features for women’s magazines, but ended up writing about fashion for glossy magazine websites, then in their infancy, before going on to run a news and politics website. Now I run a trend forecasting company! I didn’t even know trend forecasting existed as a career option when I was studying. I don’t think you can predict or even map your career in this day and age. Entertain all options, learn as much as you can along the way and jump at new opportunities when they feel right”
