Caroline Gration from The Fashion School takes your questions directly to industry professionals who tell it like it is. Designers, journalists, PR, fashion mavericks, tailors, etc, who want to enable our young creatives to get down and get with it. Children aged 10 - 16 send your questions to @thefashionschooluk
19: Ollie Vilcans Moody. Brand Business Partner / Primark Cares / Ethics and Sustainability
Ollie's history is in creative and VM (visual merchandising) project management. His roles have included fixture and concept design, fashion communication, window schemes and mannequin management. As a young person wanting to go into fashion you might not be familiar with those roles but if you tap 'jobs in fashion' in your search engine you'll see more exciting fashion jobs in these areas, outside of the 'fashion designer' role.
Ollie's story is such an unusual one and what a lovely guy. How does a boy who studied BA Menswear at Central St Martins end up switching courses to BA Fine Art and is now at a very important job?
Many of you know I approached Primark Cares to offer 'no buy incentive' and completely free customisation workshops. I could see the influence they have over children from all backgrounds and how we could harness this to create a youth club feel whilst the teens took charge of their own sustainable wardrobe at a roots level. The team at Primark were so positive, totally up for it and you should see what the children have created from what they already have!
As you can well imagine, Ollie's potential podcast created more interest and well-considered questions coming forth from teens than any other, thanks, everyone!

18: Louis-Christian Pendegrass. Apprenticeships
Want to get into fashion but don't want to be saddled with a £35,000 debt and possibly no job once you finish your degree? Well, an apprenticeship might be the viable answer for you.
These days apprenticeships are exciting, relevant and get you straight into a fashion brand from the very start. The employment rate is very high as companies teach you the skills they need, so it makes sense to keep you on once your apprenticeship training has ended.
We're very fortunate to talk with someone who knows all about them. Louis-Christian Pendegrass is a lecturer in Fashion & Textiles for Apprenticeships levels 2 to 5 at Fashion-Enter / Fashion Capital and he's going to tell us all about apprenticeships, how he got into fashion, his own rich industry experience and of course answer to all of your questions!

17: Katie Hopkins. New Talent Fashion
Do you ever worry that the fashion industry is full of nasty people waiting to rip you off and throw you out? Worry not, today we’re interviewing the vibrant Katie Hopkins, only a year out of university who’s now the Education, Communications and Events Manager at New Talent Fashion. We discuss how most people in the industry are approachable. Characters that you can have a chat and a laugh with as you work hard and successfully in a career you feel so passionately about. If they’re not then they’re still living in the past and still possess a mindset from the fashion dark ages and no longer relevant today. Listen in and enjoy hearing about Katie's own experiences.
Katie’s agency is a platform to empower and showcase new fashion talent, connecting creatives, graduates, and students with the fashion industry. Their support is extended through two subscription services – the Student Hub, a unique service for partners and education, and NTF Exclusive, a targeted solution for professionals to learn, progress, and stay informed on the ever-changing industry. @Kateh_ @newtalentfashion @thefashionschooluk
