So you want to be a fashion historian???.

Ever since I wrote this for TheAtlantic.com, I’ve had a lot of people contact me wanting to know how to get a job like mine. (No, really, a LOT.) Let me preface this by saying: there’s no single career path to the field of fashion history. Virtually everyone I know in the business has come to it from a different background, with a different goal in mind. What worked for me (or anyone else) won’t necessarily work for you. The good news is: you have a lot of freedom to forge your own path without being required to attend a certain school or get a certain type of degree, experience, or training. And it’s every bit as much fun as it sounds.
