I hear this alot from my students (i own and run a fashion design school in lagos www.valisimofashions.com )
All i say to them is keep working and be your self..........let me explain what i mean by that.

1, keep working, am talking about you perfecting your skills to the best of your ability,you can only admire those big timers in the fashion industry now because they kept getting better over the years.they were not always as good as they are now,infact at some point in their fashion designing carrer they must have messed up one or two fabrics for their costumers back then,but today we celebrate them because they kept at it.

2, be your self,by being your self you will be known for your style of designing this would help form your signature pices,do not be too much of a copy copy designer
Let people know you for your level of creativity by this you are sure to get noticed.

Other tips i give........
Wear lovely dresses and attend celebrity paties,make fashionable comments on social network sites such as facebook ,twitter ,BB and the like trust me if you do this for a while people will get to know you.that way you would break into the industry fast
