In this week's Careers Newsletter, read BoF senior correspondent Sheena Butler-Young's latest: How Fashion Schools Court Industry Talent. Fashion students today want a relationship with their professors that goes far beyond a one-sided lecture in the classroom. They look to their professors as "mentors and connectors," who can help them land an internship or guide them through the industry's ups and downs, said Michelle Francine Ngonmo, founder of Italy-based nonprofit the Afro Fashion Association and visiting professor at multiple fashion schools including Milano Fashion Institute. At the same time, students expect their instructors to be "current with the industry trends," and understand the realities of navigating a post-college landscape, Ngonmo added. Also on that list: diversity in race, gender, and experience, as well as a knowledge of how fashion intersects with sports, music, entertainment, politics, and social issues, Ngonmo said. More than their predecessors, today's fashion educators must be able to guide and inspire students toward developing their own insights, rather than simply passing down traditional industry rules or sharing personal experiences, experts say. → READ MORE Plus, find a new job on BoF Careers, with roles in marketing at Burberry, in merchandising at Citizens of Humanity and in PR at Polène.
