Sponsored StoryNew hires at O'More College of Architecture, Art & Design bring global experience to the school.Author:Fashionista CoLabUpdated:Dec 12, 2019Original:Dec 12, 2019Nashville is on its way to becoming its own kind of fashion capital, a term typically used to describe locales like New York and Paris.
After 10 years in New York, Thorne relocated to Hong Kong. There, she shifted gears and focused on art directing and styling jobs with luxury clients. "By happenstance I fell in with a fashion photography company that was based in Hong Kong but represented photographers around the world who would come to Asia and shoot major luxury ad campaigns," she explains about the work that led her to collaborate with Van Cleef & Arpels, Shangri-La Hotels and a breadth of international talent.
While Thorne's path brought her full circle back to Nashville, for designer Laura Horner, it was a work opportunity that led her to the city. A North Carolina native, Horner's resume includes impressive stints at Urban Outfitters and with the original team who launched the now-shuttered Marc by Marc Jacobs label based in New York City. "I loved the job, loved the product, and ended up staying there for seven years, rising up through the design department," she shares.
Despite having lived in fashion capitals, Horner doesn't insist her students follow the same path. "The fact remains that there are more opportunities in major fashion-central cities — New York, L.A., parts of Europe — but just with the increased presence of lines on the internet, there are opportunities everywhere. Students shouldn't feel pressured to relocate; I think it's more about what kind of path they want to pursue.
