Those who dream of creating their own clothes are divided into 2 categories:

The former believe that it is incredibly difficult to become a fashion designer. To do this, you need to be an artist from birth and be able to sew perfectly.

The latter, on the contrary, think that it is easy to create their clothes — I downloaded a pattern, sewed it on a typewriter and now you are a fashion designer.

If you want to become a fashion designer, there are different ways.

The first way is a self-taught designer. You come up with designs and sew clothes for sale. However, most often this path is very difficult, because often a person remains the one who just sews certain categories of things - a seamstress / tailor.

The second way is that you get an education as a fashion designer. Education can be obtained at the institute, studying for several years, or at shorter courses online or offline. The online format is the most convenient.

What topics should a novice fashion designer study?

-fashion history
-trends
-search for trends
- how to create things
-how to draw things not only by hand, but also in professional programs
-learn the full process of how a collection is created from -idea to full implementation
-how to create a passport of things

After training, I would recommend an internship at a design company. You can work as an assistant designer, a technical designer or just an assistant in some studio.

If you want to achieve good results in fashion design, give your best 150%.

An internship is not just an internship. I always remind myself, my team and everyone who is trying to move to a new level in their professional activities. And it doesn't even matter if you bring coffee or wash toilets. I did this myself at the beginning of my career

You should understand that working as a fashion designer is not easy. You will be constantly busy. Fitting, organization of shows, preparation of clothes for showrooms. Many students complain about a huge amount of work, but they should understand how lucky they are with their chosen profession. Of course, any designer has a lot of work, but if you want, then you will have time for both professional tasks and personal life.
