fashion Designer profession has recently emerged as one of the most sorts
out careers among the youths. These youths have their own creative style
of dressing and believe in setting a trend rather than following a trend
set by others. A career in Fashion Design not only involves meeting glamorous
people and interacting with rich and famous, but also gives an impetus
to the creative flair of the people who possess a sense of style. The
major functional areas in the industry are designing garments, cutting
the cloth, sewing the pieces together and finally merchandising. Popularizing
and marketing of the various styles products is done through ramp shows
and fashion write-ups.
The garment business is growing in India and there
is a great scope for designers. Do not, however, expect to become a celebrity
overnight. Nor should you get carried away by the glamour. Much of the
fashion is hard work, especially if one does not want to be labeled as
a fraud. The industry can do well with some original designers who not
plagiarize designs of others. The market would be tremendous for an original
thinker. Perhaps the international market is waiting for some good work
by Indians so that they can be taken seriously abroad as well. Professionals
also need to get out of the thinking that they are nothing but tailors
for high society ladies. FULL STORY.....
