Multi-disciplinary talents in the fashion industry with both good education and extensive experiences are hard to find. Besides a good understanding of fashion, fashion marketers should also be familiar with the business side of fashion as well as the latest international fashion trends so that they are able to make accurate judgments. Very few colleges and universities provide related programs in fashion marketing. As a result of this, there are only a small number of specialists in this area and currently there is currently a critical shortage of fashion marketing personnel in the current labor market.
