Decide which designing field is your principal interest. You may need to start at the bottom but you do need to have some goals in mind as to the type of designing you want to undertake lifelong. Are you interested most in haute couture, ready-to-wear, fitness/leisure gear, the mass market or niches such as eco wear? Each has advantages and disadvantages that you’ll need to explore before reaching your final decision on which pathway to pursue. Within these major fields, you’ll also need to decide on a few sub-set areas for your fashion design. You might wish to straddle a few but to begin with, don’t over-extend yourself as it’s better to perfect your designing within one area and then experiment when you’ve already got a good foothold in the industry. For example:
- Women’s daywear, women’s evening wear
- Men’s daywear, men’s evening wear
- Boys’ wear and/or girls’ wear; teenage wear
- Sportswear/fitness/leisure wear
- Knitwear
- Outdoor, adventure, outerwear
- Bridal wear
- Accessories
- casual
- Costume design for theaters, movies, the advertising industry, and retailers.
