Learn These 5 Skills To Become A Skilled Fashion Designer

A career in the field of fashion designing looks glamorous and simple only to the outsiders. However, it is only the designers working in this field who know all the hard work and determination that is required to gain success.

While many students from different parts of the world have aspired to pursue a career in the field of fashion designing for a long time, this field as a career has become in-demand in India very recently. Now students with a regular subscription of fashion designing magazines like Vogue and Elle get inspired by the work of famous designers and plan a career in this domain.

While a subscription to these magazines and blogs of famous designers show a keen interest in the field, however, it doesn’t guarantee success. All that you require to succeed as a fashion designer is skills. In this blog, we bring you a list of 5 skills required to make a big name in this field!

1. Creative & Out of the Box Thinking Abilities: It requires imaginative and creative thinking ability to come up with new ideas to bring out the best designs people talk about in magazines like Vogue. As a fashion designing professional or student, creative thinking is the first skill that must be stressed upon by an individual. While many are born with this ability, some need to develop it through various exercises and activities.



2. Strong Drawing Skills: The greater part of the life of a fashion designer is spent in drawing out sketches of designs in mind. Drawing skills are not only required to put down everything in mind on a sheet but, it is also required to express what you want to the other person in a better way. This skill can be developed and improved eventually.

3. Research Abilities: Professionals in every industry must stay updated with all the latest advancements going on around the globe. As a fashion designer, staying updated with the current global and national level trends is very important to stay relevant to the customers’ demand. While many believe research is limited to reading magazines and following fashion blogs, it is necessary to understand that in-depth research through multiple sources is what is required to bring out the best designs!

4. An eye for Detail: Any form of addition or subtraction from a design can change its final look completely. A fashion designer must have a sharp eye for detailing in fabrics to ensure that the design gets its right look. Without this skill, the best of designs can fail to impress clients.

5. Strong Visualization Skills: After research and before drawing, the visualization phase is what a fashion designer enjoys the most. In this phase, designers give wings to their creativity and allow it to flow in different directions. Stronger the visualization skills of a designer, the more likely it is that the designed garment will be unique.
