•   Fashion PR is fabulous, but in the meantime it is very fatiguing as well.If you can't stand the high pressure and time schedule (especially during fashion weeks and events), it will be too much for you. Yes it is bitter, but little warning is better than white lies.   

•  Interpersonal skills are essential. While you feast all fashion events at all levels, you should be careful about your manner,  communications skills in every minute. Remember, you are standing in front of flashlights. Any tiny mistake will be enlarged and spreaded all over the place.

•  Hold your dream tightly. Once you have determined to enter the fashion PR world, get yourself ready. You know, good things always come to those who wait. Surely you heard of this, as highly competitive work it is, it is very hard to get. Seize your moment!
