About this template
The Industry — Fashion Runway template is an editorial-fashion CV with Bodoni Moda titles and Inter body, near-black ink on bone paper. Generous margins and large headlines install a runway reading rhythm: collections, houses and seasons read like a press lookbook, which speaks directly to creative directors and luxury HR teams.
Who is it for?
It fits designers, creative directors, studio directors, stylists and buyers targeting houses (Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Prada, Gucci, Bottega Veneta), luxury groups (LVMH, Kering, Richemont) and the fashion press (Condé Nast, Hearst, Business of Fashion, Vogue Runway). Equally relevant for brand managers, fashion merchandisers and premium-materials sourcing profiles applying to studio or style-bureau roles.
How to use it
Structure by house and season (FW 24, SS 25, Cruise 25, Pre-Fall 25). For each role state perimeter (women's, men's, accessories, haute couture, ready-to-wear), title (assistant designer, designer, senior designer, design director) and shows covered (Paris Fashion Week, Milan, NYFW, London). Editorial credits (Vogue, V Magazine, AnOther, Numéro) list with date and shoot title. Keep junior profiles to one page, lead-designer profiles to two.
Frequently asked questions
How do I describe a collection still under embargo?
Before the show, cite the season without itemising looks: 'SS 25 women's collection — RTW studio direction'. After the show, credits are public — name specific looks worked on (look 12, finale wedding dress, archive piece reinterpretation). House recruiters verify on WWD, Vogue Runway and the official press release of the show.
Should I attach a portfolio to the CV?
Always for design, styling and art-direction roles. The CV frames experience; the portfolio proves the hand. List the portfolio URL in the header (personal site, Behance, Are.na) and shortlist no more than 12 visuals tuned to the houses you are applying to — press quality, concise captions, season context retained.
Does it fit fashion retail or e-commerce?
For design and creative roles, yes. For retail (store director, area manager), e-commerce or digital fashion (web visual merchandiser, content manager), the template reads too editorial — switch to a more executive CV. The boundary is sharp in luxury HR perception, and using the wrong tone signals misunderstanding of the role.
