WHAT YOU CAN LEARN AT VMCAD

FASHION MERCH SUCCESS STORIES

“VMCAD has prepared me in every way for the retail industry. I have learned that fashion and trends are all about taking risks, but so is pushing your way to the top. I have been working my way up to become a buyer in the surf industry and I definitely wouldn’t be able to accomplish what I have without my knowledge from VMCAD. In many ways it also taught me to have more confidence in myself.”

Kelsey Lesesky, 2006 Lead Merchandiser and Assistant Buyer, Curl
