Actually, being a fashion designer is not quite difficult. There are some requirements which have to be fulfilled when you have a plan to be a designer. However, it doesn't mean that there is nothing which can make you work hard to make your dream come true.
Three Main Requirements
1. Design Skill
In this case, there are at least two important elements which you have to know about. They are color scheme and design trend. Those two things have to be understood by the designers. You will fail if you understand the color scheme yet you don't follow the design trend. On the contrary, you will fail to have the desired clothes when you know the trend yet you don't know about color scheme. So, both have to be combined well.
2. Sewing Skill
As a fashion designer, you have to be able to create a prototype in order that the manufacturer knows what the clothes will look like. You will not be able to give a prototype if you don't have ability to sewing. By mastering the sewing skill, you can transform the idea in your mind into the reality. Idea cannot be translated exactly as you intend if you don't have sewing skill.
3. Computer and Art Skill
Actually, this is another more important requirement. In the past, fashion designers might use sketch before designing their clothes. However, it cannot make the other people who don't quite understand about the sketch know clearly about how the clothes will look like. For the times being, your vision to create certain clothes can be transformed into the computer. Therefore, it is not only you who can see exactly what the clothes will look like, but also the other people. That is why computer skill has to be mastered by a fashion designer now even though it is not a must since the designer can sketch with traditional way by hand.
Additional Requirements
It has been explained that becoming a fashion designer is not too easy but also not too difficult either. Some designers might be able to design and sewing. However, it is not all who can market their products. Therefore, marketing becomes an additional requirement. In business, not to mention fashion business, marketing becomes its core. In this case, after producing the products, you can market them. Besides, putting your portfolio of your design can be attached in order to convince your potential customers. For the times being, you need online marketing to let people as many as possibly know your products. So, marketing is another additional requirement when you have a plan becoming a fashion designer.
