To many people outside of the fashion industry, fashion is not a career worth getting stressed over, "it's just clothing, right?" However, the glamour often cloaks the long hours, low pay, and over-the-top standards that accompany a job in fashion. As a result, many are struggling; designers such as Raf Simons left his role at Dior due to the intense workload, others like Marc Jacobs have struggled with depression. With the Internet, more fashion workers have shared their stories of stress, and with the growth of fast fashion, the pace of the industry has only worsened. 'Fashion's Guide to Stress' is a magazine that explores stress within the fashion industry through interviews, short stories, and articles. It aims to tackle a topic that is often ignored in the fashion industry and invites discussion for both fashion industry workers and the general public.
