On today's podcast, The Fashion Industry Business & Career Show, we talk to Chrisie Hooper of the Chrisie Style Fashion Truck and she gives us the lowdown on fashion truck ownership: what it takes to purchase one, renovate it, and operate it.
Later in the conversation we deep dive into tradeshows. Tradeshows aren't open to the public. It's where fashion designers (or other designers of products) meet retailers (buyers) that purchase their products wholesale for their stores...either their own store like Chrisie or retailers they work for.
