Pencil skirts, A-line gowns, V-waists, peek-a-boo blouses. Have you ever wondered why the tides of fashion seem to favor one cut over another? Why is one article of clothing suddenly de rigueur, while another perfectly decent one falls from grace? The secret machinations of taste and style are shackled to trends and kitsch. For the curious there is but one choice: to enter the belly of the fashion beast.

The best way into this brave new world is to get your papers in order. Short of a degree from a prestigious fashion design academy, the aspiring fashionista should pursue a degree in fashion merchandising. This will pave the way to reasonably exciting careers in specialty stores, boutiques, national department stores, discount chains, wholesale apparel dealers and clothing design studios. A graduate will have to endure a hectic lifestyle: constantly on the go, meeting new clients, fabric venders, seamstresses, models, buyers, and more. This will entail long hours, constant travel, and incredible amounts of stress. The sobering reality is that success or failure depends on the quality and attractiveness of any given collection and any given season.
