How to be a fashion designer

January 30, 2020 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Being a fashion designer is and always will be a dream for many. I remember wanting to be a fashion designer when I was a young girl. I dreamt about designing various fashion collections but I never got into it. The idea was fun but I didn’t have the right skills or passion needed to follow it through. So the fashion designer dream died a natural death. I know many fashion designers personally and I know how difficult it can be to stand out in the saturated industry. It is almost like blogging, you have to bring your creativity to the table, it has to be different from anything else out there, or the competition will bury your fashion designing dream quickly.

How to be a fashion designer

If you have your mind set on being a fashion designer, here are some tips I got from a few successful fashion designers, they may work for you –

 

Develop your creative skills

If you don’t have any, fashion designing may not be the right job for you. For you to become a successful fashion designer, you need to have a good eye for colour, shape and design. Some are naturally good at these things, while others may have to work a little harder to develop their skills. Going for a fashion course or apprenticeship may help you acquire the skills needed to excel in fashion designing.

 

Build your portfolio

The best way to learn is to keep practising. Building a portfolio while you work on developing your fashion designing skills is a great idea. As we all know, practice makes perfect, and developing your portfolio is one way of practising. It also allows you show prospective employers or clients what you are capable of creating.

 

Choose a niche

The best way to stand out in the saturated world of fashion designing is to choose a niche, especially in the early days. This allows you make a name for yourself in a niche. It is faster to grow when you choose a niche. You could play around with a few niches until you find your sweet spot! Some fashion designers choose to focus on womenswear only, others pick swimwear or menswear, the choice is yours.

 

Make the most of social media

Social media is one way to promote your creative designs so make the most of them. Instagram is a great platform to start on as it is very visual. You could set up a YouTube channel as well to promote your work even more. The sky is only the beginning.

Here are 5 business ideas for fashion lovers –

Have a fashion boutique

If you have the capital, setting up a fashion boutique can be a lucrative business. You need to bring something else to the table to stand out in this field. Having a regular fashion boutique like everyone else won’t cut it. You have to stay ahead of your competition by being different. One way you could do this is by having a stunning looking boutique with stylish clothes sourced from suppliers consumers won’t find anywhere on the high street. You can also stand out from the saturated fashion boutique industry by being innovative with your interior decor. If you are after some interior design inspiration, you may find this Object Space Place Japanese interior design tips very useful.

 

Set up a fashion blog

That’s what I did. I set up a fashion blog that has now evolved to a fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog. It helps pay the bills and it keeps me very creative. I can’t imagine not having a blog now. This online space has completely changed my life. If you enjoy writing about fashion, you should consider setting up a fashion blog.

 

Have a YouTube fashion channel

If vlogging is more your thing, you should think of setting up a Youtube fashion channel. Many fashion Youtubers are really doing well these days, so it is worth considering if you are into video editing and all. You never know how successful you will be until you take that leap.

Write a fashion book

Writing a fashion book is great business idea for the fashionistas. If you enjoy writing and love fashion, you could combine both passions and write a book about fashion. It is easy to self publish thanks to Amazon. I did it a few years ago and I plan on doing it again soon.

 

Sell clothes and accessories on eBay

Selling clothes and accessories on eBay is another lucrative business venture. You could sell brand new pieces or go for preloved items. High value preloved items like shoes and handbags tend to be very popular on eBay. If you have a good eye for fashion, this would be a great business idea for you.
