A Guide to the World of Fashion

The Fashion Industry is a constantly changing, yet stimulating world to belong to. A large number of people have tried but few have succeeded in cracking this glamorous business. The Fashion Industry is a tough industry to survive in. The first step is to know what you want; half the battle is won once you have chosen a path. The second thing that an aspirant should possess is passion, for you to accomplish your goals a burning desire to achieve them should be present. After realizing these two goals it is time to act on them, hence here are some pointers that may help you.

Education: We live in a very competitive world today; everyone is busy running the race. In order to keep up with this fast paced race, knowing the rules of this race is essential, therefore a quality education is of paramount importance. Fashion designing is a highly creative field so you should possess that artistic sensibility, which a formal education will polish and enhance further. Schools and Institutes that are wholly dedicated to fashion are rapidly growing in India and students keen on establishing a career in fashion should enroll themselves in a fashion school of their choice. Now there are multiple career options in this field of fashion, like styling or fashion marketing, so research and read a lot before picking up a career line.

Internship: Education is only theoretical knowledge, which won’t be enough outside the walls of an institute. The remedy to this problem is to undertake as many internships as possible. An internship will give you a glimpse of how things work outside a textbook while providing you a safety net. No matter which line of career you pick in the fashion field, an internship will prove nothing but beneficial in the long run.

Portfolio: In most creative fields a portfolio is mandatory, including the fashion industry. A portfolio should be a compilation of your best and most innovative works. This portfolio will represent your creativity, so choose wisely.

Other than the above points, do a lot of research; this will give you a better idea about the different genres of fashion and help you decide which one you prefer the most. Lastly, after every point is ticked and done with, have faith and confidence in yourself because that is the one quality that will get you through anything!
