A perfect practical training course for an exciting career!
You are talented and want to radiate style in everything you do. The originality and creativity you have in your mind are an extension of who you are and what you are. You would love to make people look good, that’s what drives your passion to create. You would love to see other dress in your creations and yearn to see models showcase your creations in the local or Indian fashion circuit, or maybe even eventually fulfil your dream of having your styles displayed in the international circuits too. Remember that every great achievement starts with a first step.
But how do you get started?
You need a practical, focused education that prepares you with career skills that put your creativity to work and then you break into the exciting field of FASHION DESIGNING. No prior Designing knowledge is necessary.
The word ‘fashion’ immediately conjures up images of glitz and glamour! It is undoubtedly true. And many young people, attracted by these attributes decide to foray into it. It is surely a glamorous world out there. You get to rub shoulders with the rich and famous, and in time, the rich and famous will want to rub shoulders with YOU!
What is Fashion Designing?
Today, we no longer wear clothes to keep ourselves covered or warm, but to express our personality and ‘attitude’. This is where the FASHION DESIGNER steps in, to help us make the correct fashion statement. Creating a style, using the right fabric, the right cut, and a good finish, the designer turns out either a singular creation (one of its kind) that may sell for a very high price or more usually, outfits that will reach a retail outlet in different sizes and colours. In certain cases, the garment may even be mass-produced for a specific market. Garments include items of regular clothing, generally western style, which are now the most popular clothes people wear worldwide. However, in India itself, there is a huge local market for Indian style designer wear such as salwar-kameez, sherwanis, ghagra-cholis, and so on. And international, as well as ‘desi’ fashion consciousness, is rampantly overwhelming today’s youth in our country! Words like Chic, Hep, Fad, Rage, Style, Vogue, Fashion, Model, Haute Couture, Designer, and many other such descriptive words have become common parlance.
What does it take?
A question often asked by young people is whether they really need to be TRAINED to be a Designer. Some young people who are able to sketch well and have an interest in fashion believe that their basic talent and interest already qualifies them for the fashion industry. But fashion design is not just about sketching pretty clothes. Barring a few exceptions where talent borders on genius, it is certainly recommended that you PURSUE A PROPER COURSE IN FASHION DESIGNING. And you can do so straight after School, Higher Secondary or College. The only basic qualification required is an aptitude and inclination! If you have it in you, zoom right into the highly glitzy world of fashion and glamour – you will not regret your decision!
Why do you need a formal training course?
No special basic educational qualifications are required to become a Fashion Designer. However, you do need a considerable amount of help and guidance from experts to channel your aptitude and talent to be labelled ‘designer’ material. You need to thoroughly understand the highly creative skills of combining colors, shades, designs, patterns, textures, cuts, folds, etc. to express your ideas.
If you enjoy fashion – you are looking for the right career. Along with fashion consciousness and creativity, you also need to learn excellent communication skills to share your ideas and understand the client’s requirements. Knowledge of the market and a good eye for detail are the other must-haves. You gain these through a formal Training Course.
Be aware that fashion is as much about technique as about style. You will need the GUIDANCE from experts in the field, who have been in the industry for a long time. Basically, because you will need someone WHO HAS A KNACK FOR IMPARTING FASHION TRAINING. SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS YOU, AND WHO CAN MAKE YOUR LEARNING A SIMPLE AND ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE. Of Course, as in any field, before you become a name to reckon with, you will need to put in the effort and sincere dedication to be a successful person in your chosen profession!
Once you have undergone a formal Training Course in FASHION DESIGNING there are many choices of action that you can take, to launch into the career of your dreams:
* If you are FIRED-UP and are of the independent disposition, start SHOOTING! AIM FOR THE SKY! Start designing and start selling! Start small, freelance around your friend’s circle and neighbourhood! Remember – everybody needs clothes and wants to look their best – which means you immediately have a huge market right around you! Understand again, everyone needs clothes regularly and each one wants to look their best! Here is where YOU come in – YOU can become an instant working FASHION DESIGNER.
* If you feel you want to work under somebody, begin by taking up apprenticeship under a flourishing or well-known designer. Get some practice by working. Develop a style of your own. Then venture out independently.
* Or take up employment or garment-manufacturing unit or in an export house. There are several such units in Goa and several hundred all over India.
* Or start Freelancing for fashion houses and boutiques, right from your home.
* Self-employment by (a) opening your boutique to showcase your talent and sales or (b) a manufacturing unit or (c) an export outfit.
Scores of our students who have completed the Course are earning handsomely, opened boutiques, have established their own labels and some have made it to the big stage with fashion events in the happening places.
The sky is the limit, but all depends on your zeal, determination, and effort, to put your creative skills into practice! Remember, everyone who has made a name or a fortune started LIKE YOU – FROM SCRATCH!
Nothing can compare with the absolute joy when your creation is admired and appreciated for its style and finish. And the high-voltage publicity and applause as you proceed for the curtain call at the end of a stunning show will send your adrenaline soaring. Today FASHION DESIGNERS share equal space on Page 3 as models and film stars do.
