Hello Fashion Fans


Hello fashion fans,

My name is Rachael Katherine Paladino and I am a fashion merchandising and retail marketing student at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI. I am a junior in college and have a passion for fashion! 

It all started back in eighth-grade, on weekend shopping sprees with friends, when fashion became a passion. In high school, I became extremely involved in the fashion design club. As part of the club, I constructed several recyclable dresses that provided me with experience in how a take a sketch of a design and emerge it into a final creation.  This knowledge led me to seek out a more in-depth program that could educate me as to career possibilities in the fashion industry. The summer of 2008, I attended Fashion Camp NYC at LIM, which is located in Manhattan, NY. This camp introduced me to many careers opportunity’s in the fashion industry. After my experience at Fashion Camp NYC, I was able to bring back useful information for the other future fashion designers, like myself who was part of the fashion design club at St. Peter Marian High school. When I attended JWU, I was able to find a club on campus that was involved with fashion. The club that I am currently part of is called the International Fashion Society (IFS). I am on the board as the public relation specialist.

I am creating this blog for my fashion forecasting class. I will be posting each week. I hope you enjoy reading and learning all you will need to know about fashion forecasting and the fashion industry.

Enjoy!!!
