INTRODUCING
YOUR NYFW INSIDER
& INSTRUCTOR
I'm Maria Hedian, former corporate professional turned fashion show producer and career educator with over two decades of experience within the industry.
At 15, I decided I was going to build a career in fashion - no matter what it took. With no contacts or experience, I set out to pave my own path through relentless drive and determination. I worked unpaid jobs, connected with strangers and knocked on every door to get my foot in. My passion fueled me through countless "no's" until I heard that life-changing "YES."
Working behind the scenes at NY Fashion Week for 17 years and at Ralph Lauren Corporate for almost a decade within marketing, public relations, styling and visual merchandising has given me the resources and experience to help students understand various aspects of the industry.
My goal is to help aspiring professionals gain the confidence, skills and opportunities for success - even without industry contacts.
Let's work together to open doors into the fashion industry and make all of your career goals a reality.
