Imagine you’re a renowned Fashion Designer, just like Sabyasachi, JJ Valaya, or Manish Malhotra. Your label outfit is a prized possession for a shopper. Bollywood and even Hollywood celebrities vie for your designer creations. Your runway shows are success-prone. Fame and money are synonymic to your name and brand. Sounds like a dream?
No, it isn’t! Turn it into a beautiful reality by honing the below-mentioned skills and techniques. But first earn a degree or diploma of fashion designing, because it’s a prerequisite for all. Plus, it’ll be easier for you to get a placement or start your label. Now wondering what else makes a super-successful fashion designer? Scroll down to know the science behind it:
Creativity
A fashion designer has to think out of the box. You have to be in the habit of coming up with something creative and classy all the time (or say most of the time). Creative thinking sets the designers apart. They have to push the envelope every time an idea is conceptualized. The unique cuts, patterns, and styles give way to a unique collection.
The sense of colours, textures, and styles
Designing requires a keen sense of colours, textures, and styles. It’s essential for you to understand which colours blend well. You need to know what kinds of fabric will good on different silhouettes. Whether cotton works well for an ensemble or silk is an ideal choice. They must know what sort of embellishment or embroideries look fascinating on a garment.
Sketching or Drawing Skills
God is in the details. To envision these details, you have to draw or sketch the outfit you’re conceptualizing. It’s this artistic skill that gives birth to your idea on paper. It helps in clarity for a designer and other stakeholders. Strong drawing skills are essential for a fashion designer. Whether it’s lehengas, gowns, or anything, so whatever a designer is envisioning he has to draw then get it constructed.
Unconditional Love for Fashion
Do you drool when you see the latest collection launching on fashion runways? You have a penchant for neon and sparkles. Or nothing fashionable is bizarre for you. Sounds “So You”? Great! One day, you’ll be revered as one excellent fashion designer in the industry.
Solid Visualization Skills
An ingenious designer must have powerful visualization skills: the better your visualization skills, the better clarity for your production team and clients.
