"I follow some influencers on social media, constantly checking out WGSN and Vogue Runway. Also, fashion week online is a great channel to keep up with fashion shows. I try to attend fashion shows on my free time, if I have any."
Rachelle's Feedback
These are great resources for keeping up with the fashion industry. I recommend dropping the 'if I have any' at the end and replacing this with the names of the fashion shows you have attended in the recent past. I have provided an example below.
"I follow fashion influencers on social media such as A, B, and person C. I am constantly checking out WGSN and Vogue Runway for the latest trends. Also, I find that Fashion Week Online is a great channel to keep up with fashion shows. I try to attend fashion shows in my free time, and this year I have been to X, Y, and Z, which were fascinating experiences."
