Fashion Designers






Fashion designing is a profitable business if you have the ability, talent, panache and the flair for it. It is not an easy job and designers should be a lot creative and innovative. He/she must be able to conceptualize fashion and produce garments that can become trends.

The two most common types in fashion are 'PrĂȘt-a Porter,' and 'Haute Couture.' Haute Couture are hi-fashion garments which are 'one-of-its-kind,' and typically meant for the upper class. Pret -a-Porter are ready to wear garments that are produced in bulk. They are further divided into casual wear, evening wear, party wear, swim wear, sports wear, maternity wear etc. The designers can specialize in any one area, by creating a niche for themselves. They can work with any established designers or work as freelancers. They can also work in export houses, buying houses or publications for more guidance on the subject.

There are designers who have made a mark in the field of fashion without any formal training or degree. But, in these days of high fashion having a formal education in designing can take you a long way, especially when you are looking for job. Once you're done with your education, create a good portfolio. A portfolio says a lot about the designer's skills and his/her expertise in the field. It has to reflect the designer's artistic capacity and skill.
