Though fashion industry includes lots of glitz and glamour, it is less about clothes and more about the spirit behind them. See if you have what it takes to succeed…
With fashion trends changing frequently, many firms have come up to serve people to satisfy their hunger for new and trendy clothes and accessories. Earlier, this industry mostly involved and served women, but with changing times, we find many stores and designer houses coming up with fashion for men, showcasing classy and casual collections. Moreover, men have started choosing their career in fashion designing in a big way This reflects the positive change in the mind-set of the young generation. You need a creative mind, discipline and focus to make it big in this talent-rich field. Before you jump into this industry, the first thing you have to consider is whether you are really suited for the same.
Personality
Sit back and evaluate your willingness to climb the Mount Everest, because that’s what it’s going to take. The world of fashion is reserved only for the most dedicated and creative visionaries leaving no room at the top for the mediocre. You should be ready to grab the bull by the horns and take initiative as nothing would be handed to you on a platter.
Passion
You must eat, live and breathe fashion to pursue fashion designing and be successful in it. In case you’re not fascinated about what went into designing a Manish Malhotra dress and are just interested in wearing the brand, then you should enjoy the fashion instead of aspiring to be his next intern.
