Hello




Thank you for choosing Mera career guide and writing to us. I understand you are asking about the sustainability of your career as a fashion designer in the long run. First of all to become a fashion designer one needs to have studied the required basic qualification in fashion designing. Studying a BSc Fashion designing degree will not only help you to get a job as a fashion designer, it will also help to understand the subject well which may reflect in the career on a longer run. Say for example, if you are planning to innovate something in your career after five years, you are sure to bring the innovative creative designs only from your knowledge that you gained from the subject you studied long back. So, a basic qualification in BSc degree level fashion designing is must for a fashion designer in the long run. Even, a Masters degree level will lay sound knowledge in designing theories that will help you in a career long way.




Next, apart form your basic BSc degree in fashion designing, one could supplement career with reading some extra Diploma courses in specific subjects. For example if you want to turn your career to a specific segment like fabric designing, accessories, traditional designing, contemporary designing, or western designing; you may choose to study related Diploma courses to further your knowledge and bring it in your designing works.




Third, you may think of creating your own designing studio. This may require some investment to put in for the studio set up but it will certainly reward you on a longer term. You may also try employing a few designers and expanding your business.




Fourth, you can create a portfolio for yourself. Not all people can afford to start up an own studio. So you could create a portfolio book to put in the designs that you had created since college. You can also show the book to your prospective employers or clients to display some of your works.




Lastly, consider working as a trainee under some industry designer expert. Completing the trainee-ship you will be awarded a certificate and it will be very rewarding to you personally and professionally. Also try to network with leading experts and constantly engage with them. Take their advices and also show them your portfolio whenever possible. This will increase your chance of potential opportunities in your designing career.


Hope this helps.
