So, lets get onto it; Shall We?
What is Fashion Designing:
When we talk of Fashion designer, there is a big chance that a visual of a guy/girl sketching a dress or a visual of loads of people running around between a number of mannequins and there is this one person who is checking out the dresses and giving suggestions on what would make it look better comes to your mind; all thanks to our movies, who have set up this stereotype.
Fashion Designing is not just about making suggestions or sketches. Its about passion, hard work, creative thought process, sewing and a vivid imagination.
To define Fashion Designing — It is the art of applying designs, aesthetics and beauty to clothes and accessories. Adding a personal touch to the design is completely on designer’s discretion. You might have noticed that I used the word art while defining Fashion Designing, I did not use that just to make it look good. Fashion Designing is a serious art form and you as an aspiring Fashion Designer are aspiring to become an artist.
Fashion Designing is all about making people look pretty, confident & feel good about themselves by using your skills on the clothes and accessories you design.
There are several skills which you need to hone inorder to become a successful Fashion Designer. Drawing is one of those important skills. When I say drawing, you do not have to be best at it, but you still should be able to put your thoughts & ideas into a sketch as clearly as possible. There are other skills as well. But we will not be talking about that in this post. If you want, you can check out the list of skills you need to possess to become a Fashion Designer in this post.
