Design a Career in Fashion

Ready, set, style! If you’re one of those people who haunts the retail clothing stores, has a closet bursting with the latest styles, and who can’t resist offering wardrobe advice, a career in fashion design may be right up your alley. If you’ve got creativity, perseverance, and an artistic flair to boot, you’re on your way.

However, if you’re hoping to achieve status as a “fashion diva,” then you’ll need to work hard to establish a reputation and a clientele for your designs, as the market for designer fashion is competitive and fast-paced — but achievable if you’ve got what it takes! For those who reach the apex of this industry, the rewards can be phenomenal.

What it takes
The fashion industry is all about creativity, skill, awareness of trends, and a good business sense. Hoping to work normal hours? Plan on designing clothing lines for the masses in the apparel manufacturing business — think retail, baby! If you manage to build a good name for yourself, you could cater to high-end department stores and specialty boutiques.

Want to give Armani a run for his money? Anticipate being your own boss and catering solely to individual clients. Fame brings some drawbacks, though. You’ll likely work unusual hours to meet the needs of your clients. Whatever the venue, though, you’ll be one of the people who decides if black is really the new black.
