Being a fashion designer is a
rewarding career. There may be literally blood, sweat, and tears as I may know myself,
but finishing the outfit makes you feel great and invincible. The ups and downs
of the fashion world just build character, so in that case have no worries. In order to be a successful designer you must
have faith in yourself and a strong passion for fashion, because there will be
many times that you would want to give up and throw your masterpiece to the
side. Plus, it’s okay if you have to take a break and shed a few tears or just
walk around for little while, due to you being frustrated. Not to mention that
it is scientific that when you cry it releases stress and anxiety, which in
your case is great. The best way to network and make it in the fashion industry
is to network at fashion shows. Now, it’s not just getting hired off the spot
thing, but you must volunteer for free and trust me I know its difficult when
you have school and a job to depend on, but you will be happy towards the end
of the day. In order to learn a lot about different sewing techniques and
clothes its best to help out your teacher, fellow classmate, or any other
seamstress or designer. Once again you may not get paid, but just the
experience will help you on the long run. I have been in the fashion industry
for two and a half years now and I have enjoyed every minute of it, although
there were stressful and hair pulling times, but I still made it. Hopefully,
one day you will be successful like one of those other fashion companies such
as Michael Kors, Versace, and Coco Chanel. Now, that you know a few tips on how
to be an extravagant fashion designer, the future will be your oyster.
