Fashion Business Talk A lot of people today are going through training in a fashion designing institution. Sad to say some find it difficult to comprehend and follow up with the training. It is not because they are not regular in class or follow along as the training is going on. Just that they find things that way. Some well meaning friends will suggest that they go and learn something else, maybe fashion is not for them? Is that really so? 1 Like |

Fashion Illustration is the art of communicating fashion ideas in a visual form that originates with illustration, drawing and painting. It is also known as Fashion sketching. It is mainly used by fashion designers to brainstorm their ideas on paper or computer, using digital software A designer starts with an inspiration and brainstorm ideas to rough sketches on a sketchbook. These rough sketches are then transferred to croquis and rendered to a fashion sketch applying the texture, color, pattern and details with the help of art materials. Fashion illustration helps to preview and visualize designers thoughts and make decisions before going to actual clothing to reduce any wastage.

Because you can get a job as a creative director for a fashion house where you have to design their collections and get paid for it. So if sewing isn't your thing, don't sweat it.

#FashionBusinessTalk Are you a Fashion model? Do you have what it takes? A model is a person who poses either to promote , display or advertise commercial products (notably fashion clothing in fashion shows), or to serve as a visual aid for people who are creating works of art or to pose for photography. Types of modelling include: fashion, glamour, fitness, bikini, fine art, body-part, promotional, and commercial print models. Models are featured in a variety of media formats including: books, magazines, films, newspapers, internet and television. Modeling may seem easy and glamorous, but that is by no means the reality. It will take a lot of commitment on your part to make it as a successful fashion model. Are you prepared to maintain a diet, fitness, and beauty regimen, even when you are not having any booking? Are you prepared to do a 12-hr photo shoot in freezing and windy conditions, wearing clothing that offers no warmth, while still getting the shot without complaining? Have you accepted that it may take years once signed to a modeling agency to be successful? Are you willing to travel internationally on long trips, and be away from your family, friends, and the comforts of home for an extended period of time? Hope these is not getting you scared. The idea is to help you see some possibilities. The career is exciting and rewarding. Which aspect of modeling are you interested in? Find out what it takes. If you are sure you can do all that it takes then have fun and enjoy your career. The first and probably the most important step to getting started with your modeling career is to have a well-rounded modeling portfolio that showcases your strong points through high-quality, stunning images. This is the first thing that agencies and clients will look at, and its critical to make a great first impression. It helps to have both an online version as well as a printed version that you can show when you meet someone face to face.. Every fashion model needs a modeling agency. So get one for yourself. When you book a job, you are representing both yourself and your agency. Be as professional as possible. #mondaymotivation #myfuturestartsnow #WeSpeakFashion |

#FashionBusinessTalk Phew that was great. Now you can fit into the fashion business of your choice, enjoy yourself and also make money. A lot of questions has been raised concerning making money, getting clients, learning etc. Each of these questions will be attended to one after the other. One of such questions is Should I learn from a Tailor's workshop or should I go to a fashion school? A lot of people have good reasons to believe that going to a Tailor's shop is better while others will argue against that. We will like to look at it in line with other professions Can a person go to a drug store or chemist shop and after some time the person becomes a doctor? Can a medical student become a doctor without going for internship? Having that point in mind let's see reasons why people believe going to a Tailor's shop is better (We will look at the good side and the bad side) Many believe that in a Tailor's shop you will have a lot of practicals. While this may be true to an extent, it all depends on the person you are learning from how versatile or creative he or she is. There are places where the owner sees customers few times in month and even when such customers come they sew only simple styles. So when such bosses doesn't have anything to teach because there is no syllabus. They make their apprentice to spend six months to learn how to pedal a sewing machine and and six months to learn how to sew straight stitches. Apprentice in such places spend two years without achieving much. . There are tailors shop the boss has a lot of customers. These ones are of two types. The ones that forbid talking while they are cutting and the ones that are ready to teach you. They are willing to go over what they have said just for you to follow. Being in the best tailor and teacher's shop doesn’t guarantee better learning. Again this depends on the student. I have seen students who started sewing after three months of training and after six months their boss can release customers clothes for them to sew. Whereas some in the same shops have spent one year and they are still learning how to pedal a sewing machine. Tailor's shop charges low fee for a long period Conduct a research before making payment Fashion school will only teach you theory. A fashion school have different courses and the duration varies There are foundation, intermediate and advance. This also depends on the school. Good fashion schools expose you to a lot of practicals. Fashion Schools are expensive Yes they should be. All professional programs are Please drop your comments in the comments box below. Your opinion really count. #mondaymotivation #WeSpeakFashion #myfuturestartsnow |

#FashionBusinessTalk Fabric consumption calculation A lot beginners often wonder how much fabric do I need for a particular style?

#FashionBusinessTalk Can I learn fashion designing online? The answer to this question is yes otherwise many will not offer this service. Can everyone learn through online method? The answer is no Do I need basic knowledge for me to register to an online training and understand? The answer is no but you have to start from foundation level as a beginner. What can help me to successfully learn online? Because it has to do with a training that requires visuals opt for a training uses these form of training(using videos and pictures illustrations to explain every step) . Like everything in life that requires practice, put in practice whatever you have learned. Ask questions for clarification where you do not understand. Have a sewing machine and other sewing tools available at home and practice immediately after the class. The advantage of this method of training over a physical training in a particular location is that you have the opportunity to go over the training several times until you master it. You have the opportunity to learn from the comfort of your your home. You determine the time suitable for you You can learn from many people using different method instead of using one particular that is being handed down. Your determination, zeal passion for the profession will get you going and move you forward. Since it is not everyone that can learn through this method if you find out that this method will not work for you then go to a physical location where you will have a one on one training with a professional. #mondaymotivation #myfuturestartsnow #WeSpeakFashion |

#FashionBusinessTalk Does environment matters? Should environment affect pricing in business? I have heard so many designers complain that they have their business in a local environment and for that reason their customers price down their work. Some customers will even go to the extent of telling them the price of zip and thread and for this reason they cower into accepting a ridiculous amount. What do you all think? While am waiting for your response to come in I have this to relate In particular environment which many will consider local are two schools facing each other. One charges 100% higher than what the other is charging. One would have expected the one with the low school fees to have more students than the other. But that is not the case. The one with a low fee has a good structure and personnel but few students. When I made enquires I got to know that parents are withdrawing their children from the one with the low fees to the one charging higher fee because the later has lots of packages. I decided to consider another business in another local environment facing each other. Both are food vendors. One charges high price per plate while the other sells to you as you want. I interview few persons that patronize the expensive one, they told me the meal is worth the amount they are charging. In fact most of their customers come from outside the environment and they always introduce their friends (free advert). The owner of the later has so many customers that when they open 6 00am they close 11.00pm. Having varieties of delicacies well prepared. No wonder there are so many cars packed around there, one would imagine there is a party going on. Let us hear your own views, you may be helping someone's business. #mondaymotivation #myfuturestartsnow #WeSpeakFashion |

Inspiration doesn't always just happened at a snap of a finger, so your inspiration could come from several sources like things in your environment, your favorite movie Your favorite music Your favorite fragrance Your favourite cities, flowers and plants. Books Magazine Art cloud names Species of trees. It could be anything which describes the clothes. You can have these written down. Try a play on the words by combining two to come up with something unique. Remember there is no right or wrong way of doing it so don’t expect perfection.

#FashionBusinessTalk How to gather inspiration to design a collection for your clothing line You are about to launch your clothing line? Congratulations. Here are few things that will help you. Great fashion strikes the balance between what’s on trend and what’s totally new and unexpected. You need to know how you measure up, and you need to have an idea of what consumers are into at the moment. The most beautiful, thoughtful collection may struggle to make an impact if it’s exactly what we saw two seasons ago. Ask yourself: Who am I designing for? This means you’ll need to dedicate some time to think about who you want your clothes to speak to. Draft your ideal buyer persona . You need to think about everything from their age and income to their lifestyle. Who are they, and where are they going in your clothes? Ask questions and get out there and talk to your ideal customer Make sure you’re creating the clothing they want to buy. Keep in mind that your target doesn’t necessarily have to be just one person. Your ideal customers may also change and evolve over time Gather images from magazines , books , the Internet or take your own pictures . These can serve as a source of inspiration for you. If you decide on what to make then seek out materials that relate to it. Look at composition, color, and balance within an image to get ideas. Also keep in mind what the story behind the image is, and think about how something similar could be applied to your design project. Don't forget your signature style is what will set you apart from other designers and make you instantly recognizable. . #mondaymotivation #myfuturestartsnow #WeSpeakFashion |

#FashionBusinessTalk What's the best way to sell fashion retail online/offline for an independent fashion designer with low startup cost? Your collection is now ready! Congratulations! Let's take the next step. How to get it to retail stores online without spending a fortune? You can set up your own online store, If you consistently sell out online or have built up a large fan base online, this increases your chances of getting into a retail shop. Your garment should be retail-ready. This means that hang tags, custom poly bags or packaging, printed shirt tags, etc should be available. You need to look put-together in order to be taken seriously by retail stores. Find out what stores you want to be in and get all the information you can about them. Make sure your brand fits the style and will look good with the rest of the products they sell. When you visit retail stores take samples of your product When you contact a store, don’t be surprised if you don’t hear back. These people can have hundreds of brands trying to get into their store. Yor need to follow up but don't overdo it so that you not damage your reputation. Open a Retail Store Sell at Local Boutiques Sell at National Chains and Department Stores Go to Trade Shows Sell Your Line at Home Parties Wear them! I highly recommend this You have more options?

#FashionBusinessTalk Should I have a partner in my fashion business ? If you've got a passion for fashion but you're lacking a knack for business, don't worry — you can still turn your creative flair into a successful entrepreneurial endeavor. What you need to make it work is a savvy business partner. Brand partnerships can be effective and a cost-efficient way to drive awareness and expand your audience but keep in mind–you can't partner with just anyone . You need to select collaborators with whom alignment will elevate your brand, bringing visibility, and validation to you. You also need to reach the right audience. . Going it alone will certainly give you full autonomy and control of your business, but a partner may allow you to expand into a more dynamic approach. There are benefits to both sides. Having a business partner helps to distribute some of the work. It gives you someone to share business ideas with. The benefit of an additional skill set, and a colleague who feels as passionately about your business idea as you do. Before choosing a partner you need to have a strategy and a business plan, understand the importance of product development, have a clear and unique brand proposition and marketing plan. This will help you to know what to look out for. Choose a business partner that you have already worked with before. The reason for this is that you already know how your potential partner does business. You know if they are hardworking, reliable, and honest Choose someone with a personality and skill set that compliments your own, Discuss in advance how the business is to be run and have this documented so as not to run into any situation that could potentially hurt the business.

#FashionBusinessTalk Should I start my own business or should I go work for a big fashion house ?”. The truth is, it depends on you and your aims are. The first thing to think about is “Do I really want to run a business?” Starting a fashion business is an intense, all-encompassing experience: You will need to think of yourself as a CEO first and will likely spend less than 10 percent of your time designing. You will have to oversee all aspects of the business, not just the creative parts.you will be managing production,you have to worry about making enough money. You will eat, live and breathe your business 24/7.. One of the key drivers of success will be your entrepreneurial skills and your commitment to running a business. Pay attention to the basics of running your line of business successfully. If you have no or little experience of doing a business, then pay attention to some basics to avoid the mistakes others made. An overwhelming number of businesses fail simply because they do not follow some basic things required to run a company successfully. Know Your Niche Well Identify Your Target Audience Set Your Pricing Right Ensure An Online Presence Of Your Business Create A Marketing Strategy Learn From Mistakes Quickly Have A Vision For Brand Identity Build Your Brand If you feel unable to do it, then you might consider working for a fashion house to gather experience. #mondaymotivation #myfuturestartsnow #WeSpeakFashion |
