Do I need a degree in order to be a fashion designer?

Not at all, if you have an entrepreneurial spirit you can become a fashion designer with a portfolio according to the popular woman’s weekly magazine Woman’s World. Like graphic artists, and writers a solid portfolio that shows good fashion designs is all you need to get your foot in the door as a merchandiser or buyer at a retail chain or department store like Macy’s. You should also have some samples of the work that you have done to prove that you are capable of managing fashion design.

If you decide to go out on your own, you can scan your design plates or take a picture of your samples and begin selling them online. Try Aplus. Net to set up your store front with top online retailers like amazon.com.

Also you should consider the economic market that the nation is in. With limited funds, consider even selling your clothing on consignment at a local thrift shop. Many people are making purchases there and you could begin selling some dresses that are low cost to make.

Remember to start small if you pursue this route. One last thing, your designs should be practical and something that is easy to replicate and at the same time something that enhance a person but does not require a lot of maintenance. This will help you sell or get your foot in the door faster.

Think of ruffle blouses for women or dresses which conceal pear shaped figures. Good luck!

Its always good to have qualification but its not most. The main thing you need to have is knowledge and sense of fashion.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
