From leather-braider to dress-namer, there are some wild occupations in fashion. The Independent's tounge-in-cheek story highlights the kookiest.

fashion industry, lapping up its bitchy quips, sybaritic protagonists and "to 
die for" jobs – which typically tread a wafer-thin line between specialist 
skills and servitude – and interest in it seldom wanes. But why? Well, as my 
friend's experiences illustrate, nowhere does the "fact is stranger than 
fiction" adage ring truer than in the fashion industry. This owes much to the 
foibled traditions of couture that live on, but also to the superstar status of 
today's designers, who now have the music and acting glitterati eating out of 
their hands – Kanye West's docility at being refused entry to the recent show 
being a case in point: "I totally love and respect any designer that won't let 
me come 2 there [sic] show," he blogged. "Balenciaga is one of the illest lines 
right now and I don't feel any type of way about not getting in." </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2F15C168-AE96-43EB-A5B8-C6075416BCC4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
