Hey, could other creatives on here give me some feedback and some of my projects on here (the Dots) or here: https://www.instagram.com/bykai
I'm also looking to pivot into a creative role (preferably fashion based) but have no formal fashion background, any advice or opportunities?

- Right try here, if you haven't alreadyhttps://www.thefashionnetwork.co.uk/https://fashionunited.uk/tags/manchester-fashion-networkhttps://fashioninstitute.mmu.ac.uk/people-and-networks/I'd definitely pop an email regarding the event next week too, someone may drop out.Target some companies you'd liek to work for, who are they?Love the dip dye cardigan and on depop I'd love to know more about the cardigan, not just the process, unless I missed these details, it would be great to know what the cardigan is made of - did you knit it or source it, where from etc....? it is gorgeous :)Good luck following uo some of the links
- @Linsey M thank you, this really means a lot
- @Joshua Jackson This was from a quick search but will have a look for other stuff, people, contacts in the area and swoosh over, if so :)
- @Joshua Jackson Ah, its sold out, didn't see this, perhaps you could message her? or see when the next one is - her contacts or email are probably to be found somewhere ?? :)
- @Joshua Jackson It's not until the 15th November?! and you could check out the organiser too, I'm sure she would be a good starting point too :)
- @Linsey M this looks great, I just got to it too late, thank you anyways

- @Joshua Jackson Will reply properly a bit later but for starters, this looks interesting and helpfulhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/fashion-careers-advice-networking-event-tickets-743984596957
- @Joshua JacksonContinuing:Creative direction spanning from content creation to events looks interesting
- @Linsey M hi Linsey,First of all thanks for the feedback! I do actually have a breakdown here: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJoSatjU/The pieces can be found here: https://depop.com/bykaijacksonAs for the other questions:I don’t officially have a portfolio, aside from I’ve built on here, Instagram and LinkedInI’ve struggled to find any fashion focused networks- I’ve been to some creative networking events over the past couple of years but they tend be models, photographers and musiciansDo you have any suggestions on companies I could reach out to?As for role: designer would be cool but I think some kind of creative direction (even at assistants level)
- The Other Side Of Sunset - looks like a great shoot, love the pink cardigan (and would love to know where its from). Congratulations on the styling and shoot.There are some big questions asked in the intro and will require time to answer ;)Utangatta - love the word and meaning, the designs are excellent and 3% rule you've kept in mind too, all looks brilliant and are you selling the designs anywhere?Do you have a portfolio? Can you look for fashion networks in Manchester? book a careers session somewhere? reach out to companies?Which creative role at a company? designer? or other?
