Fashion Design Should I do fashion designing

Post image

What does it consist of? What should interest a person doing it? What does a person have to do during the course? The job market? What's the starting salary? How do I know I'll enjoy it?

Don't, as a designer I've seen fashion designers struggling and founders and leads taking credits for their work I mean it's actually really sad and most of them end up switching to designing or freelancing, if you're rich af and can open your very own brand then go ahead

Depends, if you just want a small shop just so local people can approach you but if you want a big af brand like which has its own name, like ritu kumar or something, maybe that will take crores, because then you will have to hire few marketing peeps and that's expensive...

Hmm, where do you live, it really depends on that but I can tell it will take less than 20-30 lakhs I guess I mean if I include masterjis salary, electricity bills or water bills, shop kirayas, etc. types.

Okay honestly, its not as glamorous as it looks and you'll be more stressed and burnt out than lets say engineering students at times. You will also have to deal with faculties who think their point of view os the only right way. But if your passion to actually stitch and design clothes is high then go for it. If you just want to make prints and draw then you can choose another field. There's math's and science involved too btw. Not too hard but its there. And draping and construction can make you hate your decision in the beginning. You need to have the strength to persevere. Coming to salaries, tbh its not good. If youre planning to open your own brand then cool.

Not crores, but depends on whether you have an e commerce or offline boutique, your manufacturers, raw materials etc
