If anyone out there is considering fashion as a career path, yet they haven't necessarily gone the proven FIT / PARSONS route, don't get discouraged. You can still leave your mark in the industry where, apparently "One day you're in and the next day you're out."
Brazil's Juliana Jabour
This brazileira got her degree in Politics from Georgetown, but ended up designing accessories and later moved on to start her own brand. Her matra is "Looking sensual doesn't have to look vulgar."
Russia's Kira Plastinina
How young is too young? Since 16 is 32 in fashion years, then it's no surprise that Kira Plastinina, a 16-year old daughter of Russia's juice and dairy tycoon, successfully filled Manhattan with her stores as well as, apparently, Paris Hilton's closet before she can even apply for a line of credit. With over 30 stores scheduled to open nationwide within the next year and appearances at the Milan Fashion Week, Kira makes her presence be known any means necessary.
