WHAT TO WEAR FOR A JOB INTERVIEW IN FASHION

Seven tips to keep in mind, straight from industry professionals.

One key thing we learned is that unlike, say, the finance sector, various jobs within the fashion industry warrant different types of interview outfits. So we talked to people in different fields -- PR, editorial, and design -- about what they've seen, what worked, what didn't, and more. Read on for what they said and what we determined to be the seven most important guidelines. Oh, and if you're looking for a job, you should obviously check out our careers page.

Wear something you feel comfortable in and be yourself.

"Be yourself" might be the most overused piece of advice of all time, but enough of the people we spoke to insisted upon it that we decided not to spare you. It's natural to want to project some super fashionable idea of yourself for a job interview, but your interviewer will be able to tell. 

That being said, you should also reflect the aesthetic of the company you're interviewing with.

If you're interviewing for a designer or specific fashion brand, for instance, you aren't expected to be wearing that designer head to toe, but it doesn't hurt to try and reflect their aesthetic.

Don't overdo it.

The old Coco Chanel quote about taking one thing off before you leave the house applies well in job interview situations. Going too far with your lewk could get you noticed for the wrong reasons. 

Be clean and get a manicure.

Perez says that wearing something visibly dirty or wrinkled or having an overall unkempt appearance could give the impression that the interviewee wasn't making an effort and that they weren't detail-oriented. Plus, little things can be distracting.

When in doubt, just wear black.

"If you are at a loss for what to wear to an interview, remember: JWB (Just Wear Black)," advises Way. "The most important thing is for you to be yourself and comfortable in your own skin first, outfit second."

You don't have to wear heels.

In fact, don't unless you know you feel comfortable in them. 

Your clothes can definitely make an impression and make you memorable, so taking risks can pay off.

Basically, if you're confident you have great style, go for it. While no one we spoke to said that they've made a hiring decision (positive or negative) based solely on someone's outfit, most of them admitted that clothing does make an impact.

Juicy Couture founders talk fashion passion

EN Fashion - Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash Taylor believe passion is a must to succeed.

The two designers are the brains behind Juicy Couture and started the multimillion dollar company with just $200 in 1997. They sold it in 2003 for $250 million.

Far from becoming complacent with fashion and style, Gela enthuses that drive and an infatuation with what you do is a must for any budding business.

"Looking at it like your job is to solve problems when you walk in the door every day, even if it's a hem or a stitch or a seam leaving a hole in something," Gela revealed to Teen Vogue. "When I looked at it like that, I thought, 'Oh, I can do this.' Ultimately though, it all comes down to having a passion for what you do.

"We were born to make clothes! We could have retired and ridden off into the sunset, but this is what we love."

"We are two freaks obsessed with making clothes," laughed Pamela.

We've often dreamt of visiting Hermès' workshops, and now we can thanks to Festival des Métiers arrival at London's Saatchi Gallery.

The week-long exhibition will allow visitors to witness the creation of some of the French brand's most iconic pieces, such as silk scarves, handbags, watches and fine jewellery.

The fashion house's skilled artisans will decamp from their Paris workshop to take up residency in the King's Road gallery from May 21-27, where they will go about their everyday tasks but in front of an audience. Visitors will be encouraged to interact with the craftspeople throughout the seven days in order to experience their unique savoir-faire first hand.

Kim Kardashian’s Met Ball dress defended

Riccardo Tisci, the deisgner behind Kim Kardashian's controversial Met Ball dress, has defended how the reality TV star looked in the creation.

A sofa, Mrs Doubtfire, a pair of curtains and Homer Simpson are just a few of the (rather harsh) things Kim Kardashian and the Givenchy dress she wore to the Met Ball (complete with gleeves (gloves-sleeves)) have been compared to. The full-length floral number was certainly, err, unexpected - we're more used to seeing Kim in plunging, pencil-skirted numbers - and the abuse attention it garnered hasn't been ignored by its designer, Givenchy's creative director Riccardo Tisci, who's spoken out in defence of both the dress and its wearer.

"I love Kim. Doing maternity was fantastic. I wanted to have a Kim Kardashian moment, because Kim always supports me," Tisci told WWD , before calling her "the future wife" of his good friend Kanye West (so they are getting married?). Kardashian reportedly trusted Tisci so much that she let him do whatever he felt right, which turned out to be a floral high-necked, be-gloved, slashed-to-the-thigh number that didn't exactly stick to the event's Punk theme.

"I said, we should give her our Punk moment with a romantic beautiful flower-printed dress. I have dressed many pregnant women in the past. People can say what they want. To me, pregnancy is the most beautiful thing in the world, and when you celebrate something, you give people flowers," continued Tisci. "I think she looked amazing. She was the most beautiful pregnant woman I dressed in my career."

Tom Ford 'unhappy' with people's reaction on his latest collection

Tom Ford has admitted that his choice of venue was probably to blame for the mixed reviews his autumn/winter 2013 collection received.

The designer's autumn/winter 2013 show in February saw him return to the traditional catwalk format for the first time since he was creative director of Gucci. Consisting of clashing prints and colours, evening gowns garnished with sequinned, comic book-style blasts and "cross cultural multi ethnic" references, many were surprised by the departure from Ford's usually slick, sexily understated aesthetic.

"I expected a more positive reaction in a stronger way. And what I got was a sort of stunned reaction. I couldn't read [it] when people started to come backstage - what they thought. But that simple fact was proof of not getting the reaction that I thought I was going to get," Ford told WWD , before going on to admit that the reviews were "lukewarm".

So, what did he do wrong? "I think that I chose the venue inappropriately."

Said venue was Lancaster House, a mansion in London's plush St James area. Not content with its extravagant, gilded rooms that Queen Victoria was allegedly "jealous" of, Ford lined the sweeping staircase with 75 devastatingly handsome, perfectly-groomed male models all in matching Ford suits with matching haircuts. He also had dapper waiters serving Champagne, as well as ushers - and liberally spritzed all of them in his Noir fragrance.

Kim Kardashian to Sing on Kanye West's New Album

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian may be about to venture into something very different from her usual day-to-day drama series.

A report in Media Take Out suggests that the 32-year-old expectant mum may be singing on beau Kanye West's upcoming album.

Apparently Kardashian will have a very small part to sing, perhaps as an "intro or an interlude" in the song, reports Hollywood Life.

However, this is not the first time the starlet has displayed her vocal skills. In 2011, she released a track called Jam (Turn It Up), produced by The Dream. 

Having risen to fame after the publication of a tex tape featuring her and rapper Ray J, Kardashian has become one of the world's most recognisable reality stars thanks to her role in E!s fly-on-the-wall show Keeping Up With Kardashians.

You won't believe who Louis Vuitton dressed!!

Louis Vuitton's creative director Marc Jacobs has costumed holographic 'Vocaloid' Hatsune Miku, one of Japan's biggest popstars, for her operatic debut.

Marc Jacobs' latest project for Louis Vuitton is rather surprising - he's dressing a hologram, or more precisely Hatsune Miku.

Miku is what's described as a 3D 'Vocaloid', and despite the fact that she's a holographic projection with a computer-generated voice, she's one of Japan's biggest popstars and routinely sells out stadiums.

When the team behind Miku decided to branch out into opera with stage show 'The End', it was Marc Jacobs and his Louis Vuitton team that was called upon to dress her for her genre-change debut. The sickly-sweet hologram is usually kitted out in school uniform, but in true fashion form Jacobs decided to outfit her in four looks from his checkerboard-heavy spring/summer 2013 collection , complete with hair bows, handbags and statement flats.

The show, which debuted in Japan last December but is now going on tour due to popularity, will hit Tokyo in May and Paris in November, reports Global Grind .

This is the new face of Saint Laurent

Goth rocker Marilyn Manson has been unveiled as the latest unlikely famous face to front a Saint Laurent campaign.

Nope, this isn't a poorly-timed April Fool, Marilyn Manson really is the new face of the fashion house formerly known as Yves Saint Laurent.

The unlikely casting is another step in creative director Hedi Slimane's mission to revamp the storied fashion house since he took the reigns last year. Manson's image, though a little frightening, does fit nicely with Slimane's grunge-led aesthetic but whether or not the 44-year-old will help shift shed loads of the $4,900 leather jacket he's sporting in the campaign remains to be seen. To give him his due, Manson's charms have previously won over Dita von Teese and Evan Rachel Wood, so there's definitely something about Marilyn, we're just not sure what exactly.

The first promotional image was leaked on Friday by Scene editor Peter Davis, and the unlikely partnership was later confirmed by the brand although the official unveiling of the entire campaign is yet to happen.
