what does it take to be a fashion designer? what educational qualification? what intrinsic value is required? any views?

You have to be different from any one esle and would have to be very talented, but most importantly you would need some luck.

You can take some Beauty Fashion courses. And then make sure you know you are talented. Take your own work to some big fashion designers (if u can get to them). Wear your own stuffs, and tell people about it. So they can tell people that know people that know people who can promote you, and pull up a mini-fashion show for you.

there's one point i would really like to get straight, must a designer know how to sew? if he is truely talented and finds it as a hobby creating designs and styles, must he go to any fashion school? despite he's commitment to other artistic career!

I think designers have to sew to make thier creations come life and be worn.

If you are a designer, you have to know how to sew wat you design, especially when you are a "beginner". When you bloom, you can now hire people that'll sow the outfits yo design, infact you can even hire people that'll work together with you on the outfits you design. But when you are new, you have to express your "talent" by making your own stuffs, Infact, while sowing, u might think of something cool than what you've drawn on ur paper. But if you give your designs to someone to draw, they might not SHOW what you want. It just won't be a nice way to start fashion designing.

what kind of clothes do u design ??

You are to design the kinda cloths that express your kind of fashion. If you wanna do it punk, go punksih, if you wanan be preppy, go the preppy way. But in this new age, it'll be better for you to bring out something new but sassy, sexy, sophisticated. Something you know people will be willing to wear (although it's new).

Hi Nairalander, did anyone know any good fashion design school in Abuja
I will appreciate ur response

fashion sch in Abuja
Women Development Center Opposite CBN, Area 11.
it runs bi-annually, so the next batch will be in July registration usually starts from May so get your forms early if u are interested because there's always limited spaces, think its 12k for the course (6mnths)

i didnt read most of the responses so maybe my point has be made but neways you can major in fashion design. there's actually a bachelor's degree in fashion design. shuu u can be next Dolce and Gabbana. goodluck!

hi jummy thanks alot for the information, am grateful, take good care of yourself. cheers

Now they even have fashion faculty in universities so if you really want to make this a career you should go for it! Of course, in order to succeed you definitely need good talent, skills, imagination. It would be advisable to work in the field for a while so you can gather experience and learn all the 'tricks'.

Hmmm. You really mean tailoring, right?

According to me the fashion designing as a career is very good there are lots of scope for the job and the relation are going very ahead with the celebrity too.If you are a designer, you accept to apperceive how to sew wat you design, abnormally if you are a "beginner". If you bloom, you can now appoint humans that'll sow the apparel yo design, infact you can even appoint humans that'll plan calm with you on the apparel you design.
