I've heard that William Morris Agency is great, tough to break into though, also you might try searching the web for entertainment attorneys who specilize in high fashion, branding, and apparel markets.
You may be able to network with clients who could use your business knowledge. You could definately use your designing skills in the American fashion market, there are so many outlets here, including teaching at fashion design schools here in Los Angeles. The pay is heckka good - some instructors make up to $80,000.00 in US dollars a year, depending on how well they instruct and recruit.
I wish you the best of luck though, never give up on your dreams.
Bon chance!
I think that's a good idea! The bad grammer is usually a dead ringer, for someone who can't express themselves or communicate articulately.
I have zero tolerance for unprofessionalism; so do you :-)!
Recently, I've worked in the entertainment industry as a free-lance make-up artist, lash extension tech/ hair extension tech. I really miss the excitement of working back stage at the couturier fashion shows, and pageants! l loved it!
I'm keeping busy in between jobs by re-vamping a time-travel romance I published in 2004 entitled "Her Prince Rode A White Horse !" (Authorhouse.) There are just a few available titles left at Amazon.com.
I've decided to do some promotion this go round. I'm looking for a great graphic artist thats' reasonably priced or will work on a lean basis to re-design the book cover. If you know of any remarkable talent looking for a new project please pass it on.
Well, that's what 's new in my world. Have a great holiday!
