10 professional figures that represent the future of fashion The new roles you need to know to decide (now) which path to take
The most difficult decision for those who dream of a career in fashion is choosing a profession. Even if legend has it that this will never be one and only, because the greatest need of editors, recruiters and HR is versatility, having a precise competence has become the real prerogative to make it. Entering the fashion system doesn't necessarily require a degree in fashion, but it's good to pave the way as soon as possible by choosing the most suitable academic area, from graphics to design or communication. The next step, therefore, is fundamental. On the borderline between freelancing and hiring, when the desire arises from a great passion the goal is always the best possible perspective: to get there, it is important to always consider which figures the industry needs most.
Digital, sustainability, and inclusivity are just a few of the areas of expertise around which there is the most interest at the job demand level. The growing relevance of fashion, which has partly replaced music and cinema as the cultural industry driving the changes, has made a deep change necessary on any level - artistic, economic and strategic. This is why, in the creative field as well as in the commercial one, every professional profile in demand increasingly includes a connection with the 3D world, with multiculturalism and sustainability. A CGI artist and a sustainability manager are the perfect example: isn't it incredible to think of being able to design a small metaverse or to take the field to defeat pollution? In this sense, everything is ready to discover the secret of success. That's why we have listed below the 10 professional figures that will be most in demand in the future of fashion.

Optimizing space is always a good idea. Among the most in-demand industry insiders of the moment - especially after the pandemic period - stand out those who can revolutionize inventory management by reducing or neutralizing waste better than anyone else. Not surprisingly, the task of a smart inventory manager is to plan the movement of in-store merchandise by realistically considering the speed with which trends are born, grow and die out in recent times. Among the Italian schools, the LIUC Business School offers an entire training course on Demand, Inventory & Supply Planning, where the Inventory Management module stands out. Also interesting is the Master in Supply Chain and Operations for 2022 at Bologna Business School.
