Careers as a fashion designer

Can you think of the society without fashion? I don't think that you can ever think of such society. You might be wearing a tight jean on one day and the very next day your friends might inform you that it is old fashion clothing. Would you like to know who are responsible for latest fashion trend? You will really feel that someone from out of us is responsible. A boy can get a new haircut and when he goes down the streets and everyone might adopt it as a fashion. It's really a great feeling if you are able to decide the fashion. But I must tell you that professional mentors who decide the modern fashion are fashion designer.

Requirements to become a fashion designer
If you want to become a fashion designer then you are required to go for a graduation course in fashion designing. Lots of courses are available which you can pursue. It's not so that graduation is a must. You can also look for a one or two year online course.

I must tell you that fashion designing are best suited to artists but now all the designs are done on computers and hence computer knowledge is a must.

As a fashion designer you can work in one of three different areas:
  • high fashion
  • designer ready to wear
  • high street fashion
Your work will typically involve:
  1. Working to a design brief.
  2. Analyzing or predicting trends in fabrics color and shape.
  3. Producing concept and mood boards.
  4. Finding suppliers.
  5. Supervising the making up of sample garments.
Once you are a fashion designer then there are many steps by which you can really upgrade yourself. You can always watch all the fashion shows. Just check out with what is the latest trend. Once you will have a good knowledge you will find that it is easier to think and design new models. You really feel easy.

I cannot forget the story of Archie. Archie bought a T-shirt and wore it. He was informed by his friends that he is looking outdated and the T-shirt will look better if it is old. He went back home and was very sad. He washed the T-shirt four five times in washing machine be was not satisfied. He then in anger threw the T-shirt in the dust bean. When he returned he asked his mother that where was his T-shirt. Her mother told that his father is washing the car with the help of T-shirt. He was very angry. But when he saw the T-Shirt he lost his anger because now the T-Shirt was really looking old. He wore it and went outside everybody were happy now. Such is fashion. You can not really decide what is going to next in this field.
