    What does the job consist of, studying to be a fashion psychologist? Also what category of the job where you can decline or accept trends to move forward or to not move forward.

    • Shakaila Forbes-Bell says:

      Hi Julia,

      As the field of Fashion Psychology is so new the job of a Fashion Psychologist can differ greatly.
      For me personally, I have consulted with brands on marketing campaigns, written articles for magazines, conducted research and have published a paper. It is what you make it! The job you described sounds like a trend forecaster. I hope that helps!
