''Discover How To Get Paid $1,000 p/week As A Professional Fashion Designer....''
You can become a fashionable designer by following these 5 simple guidelines:
1. First of all, you need to be good with drawing, sketching and sewing. If you are natural in the first two, sharpen them by joining an art class. Sewing classes are also a must. You must learn to comprehend the flow of fabric that is, draping. 'Life-drawing' classes are also beneficial. Focus on colors, color groups, drawing bodies and real fashion. Start sewing for family members or friends at first. When you do this, you get to learn about their body fits and matching fabrics. Know the fabric types - silk, wool or cotton.
2. You must take a professional fashion course if you are serious about getting a job as a fashion designer. You can specify your designing course, such as ready-to-wear (pret-a-porter) and haute couturier. While the former develops your own brand, the latter exclusively designs for high-profile clients like models or celebrities. You can also seek internships from reputable design houses.
3. Your portfolio should include your best sketches. It should be of the size 14" ×17". Only then can you present your designs before your interviewers.
4. When it comes to segment in the fashion industry, you can choose from kids' wear, dress accessories, footwear, formals or career wear. You can decide on your favorite category and progress accordingly.
5. You should be aware of fashion trends. Visit online stores, attend seminars and go through fashion magazines to understand the latest colors, designs, patterns and styles hitting the town. Again, try to forecast the next fashion change.
If you are passionate about fashion, then you can channel your own path among the paths of popular designers, fashion honchos, the emerging masters and so forth. Just believe in yourself and you can go places!
