Audree Lopez is an NYC-based fashion and celebrity stylist, editor, and consultant. In 2018, Lopez launched her digital course and community for fashion students, Fashion Fundamentals, where she shares her tips for breaking into the world of fashion. Because financial barriers, social obstacles, colorism, and racism play significant roles in the lack of diversity in the industry, Lopez launched The Fashion Fundamentals Foundation, a scholarship and mentorship program for students from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented communities.

“My goal is to help bring in this new class of fashion professionals who are diverse, talented, creative, and deserve to be there.”

We discuss:

• The role networking played in Lopez’s career growth

• How Audree is helping break barriers in the fashion industry

• What you should know about pursuing a career in fashion

• Tips for stepping out of your comfort zone
