While we are going through these unprecedented times caused by Covid-19, many fashion start-ups and independent fashion brands might be thinking about how the industry will change and what the future of the fashion industry be in future.<\/p>\n
> This interview was published at Estila Magazine<\/a> <<\/strong><\/p>\n Today I\u2019m talking to Dessy Tsolova from\u00a0Fashion Insiders & Co<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0about her experiences and knowledge of the industry. I\u2019m also asking her to share her opinions on the future of the fashion industry?<\/p>\n 1. Can you take us back and tell us more about how you got into the fashion world and your journey so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n The fashion industry and I were destined to meet and be in each other\u2019s lives. Growing close to my grandparents back in Bulgaria, I was 3 when I was taught by one how to crochet and cross-stitch embroider by the other. By the age of 9, I made my first outfit \u2013 a simple top and a skirt. Growing up \u2013 making, sewing and embroidering was a passion and something I wanted to do \u201cwhen I grew up\u201d. After getting a \u201cproper\u201d degree in politics and economics, I put myself through a fashion and business degree and one of the many unpaid internships did as a student-led to my first design assistant job. That first job was for a small brand that was recovering from almost closing down from the late 1990\u2019s recession and there were only 4 of us doing everything.<\/p>\n I learnt so much and from there I moved on to Burberry<\/a>,<\/strong> which opened many more possibilities. After 15 years of skipping from one brand to another and growing my experience and career in the luxury sector of the fashion industry, managing designers and the creative process from design, development to manufacturing, I had a chance to work on a new project. For over six years we were the go-to online platform for brands and entrepreneurs to connect to manufacturers and initiate working partnerships. But the online tech world is a harsh place for creatives and a point came where it was wise for me to exit that venture and realign with my passion and vision.<\/p>\n
