The Chic Chief fashion club arrives

Interested in Fashion? Join The Chic Chief!

According to industry analysts and the Joint Economic Committee of the United States Congress, fashion is a $1.2 trillion global industry, with more than $250 billion spent annually on fashion in the United States. Fashion and apparel industries employ 1.9 million people in the United States and have a positive impact on regional economies across the country. Many just don’t acknowledge how large and how important this industry is in our world. It is almost always overlooked and underrated when considering future career paths.

There are over one hundred amazing electives available at Massapequa High School, but only two of these  fall under the category of fashion and textile career preparation. Massapequa is fortunate enough to even just have two, considering that many high schools do not even have one. Clearly not every career is going to be covered by these extra elective classes, but it is just another variable that contributes to how this industry isn’t given much attention. Students, as well as the public as a whole, should have the opportunity to learn more about this vital and innovative industry and gain a better understanding of what it has to offer.

Massapequa High School has just welcomed its first ever Fashion Club, The Chic Chief. This club is opening the doors and opportunities for many students in Massapequa to explore the fashion world, connecting those who who love fashion but may not have had a chance to pursue their interest.

The club’s advisors are MHS’ Fashion Marketing teacher Ms. Marianne Conte and Mrs. Denise DeLury of the Career Exploration Office. We have put a lot of thought and hard work into creating this groundbreaking club, and with the help of motivated students from The Chief Online’s fashion blog we were able to make our vision a reality.

The club has plenty of amazing opportunities in store following kickoff including, events, field trips, career exploration, and interaction with fashion insiders. If you have a passion for fashion and want to learn more about the industry, make sure to come to the next meeting in Room 219!
