Fashion Without Interviews: When Raw Creativity Replaces Closed Networks
Fashion Without Interviews: When Raw Creativity Replaces Closed Networks
The Bungalow Edit — September 6, 2025
Fashion has always reinvented itself through fabrics, silhouettes, and eras — yet the way talent is discovered hasn’t evolved nearly as much. Behind the glamour, the industry is still powered by résumés, referrals, and who-you-know networks. Some roles are filled before they’re even posted, passed along through connections and word-of-mouth. And in today’s digital landscape, social media has become the new résumé — with creators pressured to maintain a personal brand across platforms just to be noticed.
For designers and creators, this can feel like a closed loop: the right pedigree, the right followers, the right network. Raw creativity often takes a backseat to presentation, leaving bold ideas overlooked. At LYB, we flip the script — the work comes first. Original sketches, daring graphics, and fresh concepts get the spotlight, giving artists a platform to be seen, celebrated, and credited on actual merchandise.
Creativity doesn’t have to get lost in closed networks — talent can be discovered in many ways. After exploring the landscape of emerging talent initiatives, we see that platforms like Vogue’s PhotoVogue Global Open Call, Teen Vogue’s Generation Next, and 1 Granary: Designers to Hire show that fresh ideas can rise outside traditional systems. LYB builds on this approach, giving artists a direct platform to showcase their work and potentially collaborate on paid projects.
At Little Yellow Bungalow, that’s the future we believe in. No sterile interviews under fluorescent lights. No personality tests to prove your worth. No rigid gatekeeping or hoops to jump through. We start with your work — raw sketches, bold graphics, and original ideas — letting creativity lead the way as the collaboration unfolds. Fashion should be found in the work itself, not in how well someone plays the industry game.
Because if fashion is truly about breaking boundaries, then it’s time to break this one too!
