Marissa's passion for fashion started at the age of 16. At the age of 17 she attended the University of Delaware studying fashion merchandising. Since then, she has been following her love for fashion all the way to Calvin Klein Jeans Corporate. In between, were two fashion degrees, four fashion internships and her first "real" fashion job at BCBG Max Azria Corporate. She is here to discuss her fashion industry experience, the up's and down's and everything in between. Her biggest advice during these hard times, fashionista's will prevail even during a recession, they just need to evolve with this current economy. Faced with two huge Corporate layoff's in the last year, Marissa has survived stronger than ever. Contact her at marissa.caccippio@gmail.com
