Fashion Designing is a vast industry. The subject can be divided into four major areas of interest \u2014 Product Design, Space Design, Look Design and Communication Design. \u201cUnderstanding the different branches of Fashion Designing is important before you pursue the subject. There are vast opportunities in the field and it is essential that you clear your doubts now because Fashion Designing is not a single entity,\u201d Bakshi said.<\/p>\n

Emerging trends<\/strong><\/p>\n

Explaining the different types of Product Designing, Bakshi focused on Apparel Design and said knitwear is the future of fashion. \u201cKnitwear comprising of sportswear, atleisure, intimate apparel and winter wear is the choice of Generation Z. It is a strong field of fashion and young people are bound to choose it,\u201d he said. Fields such as Accessory Design, Fashion Photography, Space Design, Look Design and Graphic Design are also gaining popularity as career choices.<\/p>\n

What you learn<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a teacher, Bakshi discussed how Fashion Designing as a subject not only helps students professionally but also in personal development. \u201cThe designing process involves critical thinking, creative thinking and design thinking. While you learn about Fashion Designing, a lot of your learnings will involve these aspects. You will be able to think creatively, critically analyse and develop a problem-solving attitude.\u201d He also discussed about material understanding that students pursuing fashion designing course will have to acquire. \u201cMaterial understanding needs to be developed since it\u2019s the element you will be working with. With these materials you\u2019ll be giving shape to your dream and other people\u2019s dreams,\u201d said Bakshi.<\/p>\n

Representation is important<\/strong><\/p>\n

The design process involves thinking while representation gives shape to the thought. Representation is key to Fashion Designing. Representation can be through drawings, sketches or 3D models. \u201cRepresentation is the only way of communicating your thought to others,\u201d Bakshi said.<\/p>\n

Practical skills are not prerequisites<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many aspirants have the notion that practical skills are required to join Fashion Designing courses. But Bakshi busted the myth, saying these skills can be picked up during the course. \u201cMany of you wanted to know if embroidery, weaving, knitting and other practical skills are required in joining the course. I would say that it\u2019s good if you know them from before but even if you don\u2019t, it\u2019s not a problem. You will be trained in your institute.\u201d<\/p>\n

What does it take to be a Fashion Designer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will, enthusiasm and power to observe things can help one excel in Fashion Designing. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to know any software or be a great artist to become a fashion designer. Start observing the colours and patterns around you in nature even in man-made things. You can draw a lot of inspiration from them and develop the habit of thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n
