Fashion designing tips for budding Fashion Designers:
1) Learn about the current fashion trends and challenges in the fashion industry - If you want to pursue an education in
fashion design, the first step is to do your homework. Research fashion history and become familiar with current trends and challenges in the industry.
2) Learn the basics of fashion design & construction - Learning the basics of fashion design and construction drawing, sewing, and pattern-making is another crucial way
to prepare yourself for an education in fashion design.
3) Know your fabrics - To make out good designer clothes, you
will need to know which fabric, which texture and what colours will suit the specific pattern.
4) Try your hand at some original designs- Sketch clothing designs in
your sketchbook, then identify your favourite designs that are within your skillset. Use your sewing and design skills to create and fine-tune a few
pieces.
5) Put together a Portfolio of your work- Before applying
to fashion school, you should put together a portfolio of your work drawings of your designs or even photographs of your own clothing line.
6) Place yourself in the shoes of your Target Audience- Place yourself in the shoes of your target audience - think about what you would expect from a brand. That's a great starting point and makes the process less tedious.
7) Visualise the outcome- A good designer would be able to
visualize the costume before drawing itself.
8) Develop a goal for yourself- Develop a goal for yourself
before you embark on your journey in fashion designing. You would need to research on aspects in the trends that
are being used widely.
