5. Realistic in your work.

Think about real needs instead of fame. Looking cool is fine but that will not sell your garments & feel your tommy. Designers are especially needed for people with real, imperfect bodies that still want to look their best. having a snob attitude will blind you from making money. Reality is; you don't design for yourself, but you design for others.

6.Portfolio work.

Portfolio will be vital when applying to design job &  internship. It displays your best work, highlight's your skills & creativity. Use a high-quality binder to show that you take yourself seriously as a designer. The following should be included in your portfolio:

1. Hand-drawn sketches/photographs of these sketches.

2.Computer-drawn design.

3.Resume.

4.Mood/concept pages.

5.Colour or textile presentation pages.

6.Any other pieces that fairly reflect what you're capable of doing & evolving into.

3. Knowing your strength & overcoming your weakness.

Think upon what is your strength & your weakness whether you are master in Garment designing or casual designing, etc. On the other hand think about weakness too. If your not good in colour combination, than make sure you get practices upon it & master over it, if you not it will lead you lose in your career. Second part is marketing, to what the market wants. which in fashion is part convincing the market & part noticing what the market is demanding.

Prepare a model of garment in which you want to be perfect.

4. Develop skills & personality honestly before pursuing a career in fashion designing.

You may love cloths but it's a part of story when it comes to fashion designing. Challenging is when you need to have a excellent communication skills, a willingness to work very hard (i.e 24x7), a tough time is when criticized, an ability to cope with stress, openness to having many different clients or bosses. You should be prepared to uncertainty or insecurity, willing to stand up for what you believes in, you know the Fashion Industry inside out & you live, eat & breath Fashion.

INTRODUCTION
To become a fashion designer you need not to get a formal education or certificate to become a successful fashion designer, but that would not make the feat any easier. To become a fashion designer you need to be a combination of drawing, sewing, knowledge of fashion industry, design skills, creativity & get as much as experience you can  get through different sources.

1.Gain knowledge.

Apply for an internship or apprenticeship or get Degree or Diploma in Fashion Designing. Make an excellent contacts & have ample of opportunity to show off your skills in a less judgemental environment. Most of it take 2 or 3 or even more years depending on what type of course you have chosen. Internship will be vital as you pursue your career in fashion & working with the industry professionals will give you more scope in life.

2.Decide which designing field is your principal interest.

This is very important aspect where you need to choose which type of designing field you want to be a part of. Think twice whether you' re interested most in haute couture, ready-to wear, fitness/leisure gear, etc. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

Ex: A ward passed out from X, gets an options to choose a stream for further studies. Similarly in Fashion designing too.

 Make sure that you don't over-extend yourself as it's better to perfect designing skills within one area & the experiment when you're already got a foothold in the industry.
