Once and a while, I receive emails from current Fashion Merchandising students, as well as those looking to open their own clothing boutiques, asking me questions. At this point, I pretty much refuse to answer any of those emails. Here is why.

It has nothing to do with competition because I believe in good karma. Rather, on three separate occasions, I wrote extremely lengthy responses to three separate individuals. I took a half and hour to one hour out of my day to provide a detailed response. Each time, I received zero feedback. Not even a one line email just saying thank you. I’m sorry, but that’s just rude!
