How to become a fashion designer...?!

You know you're destined to be a fashion designer if you:

a.            spent most of your childhood making clothes for your Barbie dolls…

The fashion world is not easy, it requires hard work, discipline, business sense, a lot of creativity but mostly know how to express it. You have to be obsessed with fashion, be determined and have some experience, a portfolio; studies or you've worked in a fashion house. This will serve you to enter in this world and if you want it choose to enter one of the fashion programs from prestigious universities to get a fine arts degree in fashion which will give boost to your career. But a competition to enter in these universities is hard and they are very selective. You apply at universities programs fashion by sending a portfolio of drawings of your designs.

Drawing is also an important skill for a designer.  In order to build an impressive portfolio it's a good idea to have some experience in sketching; taking art classes will help you understand form and proportion.

You don't have to be an expert drawer to get accepted to a school. "The most important quality that we look for in our students is that they are truly passionate and exuberant about fashion," says Mongo. "If you have wonderful ideas but can't draw, there are always ways to get around it. You could for example put your designs on a mannequin and take pictures of it." says Carol Mongo, Director of the Fashion Department at Parsons School of Design in Paris.

Most fashion programs lasting three to four years. These were to take fine arts classes, composition, shape, pattern making, draping and cutting techniques.

For to be a fashion designer is not always necessary to study a degree, maybe that's not your push, that was the case of famous designers like Helmut Lang and Michael Kors.

"Let's be realistic," says Carol Mongo at Parsons, "School's not for everyone. If you're just looking to get a job in the fashion industry -- not a career as a designer -- you probably don't need to go school." If you want to work as a seamstress or a patternmaker, the best thing is probably to apply for an internship at a fashion house and work your way up. However, there are many examples of famous designers who started out as interns with no formal training.
