Sometimes inveterate women of fashion, who always have nothing to wear, and free artists who want to show their ideas to the world, sometimes dream of creating their own collection of clothes. Before plunging into the harsh everyday life of the design business, test your strength - are you really ready to compete with the giants of the fashion industry?
Instructions
Step 1
Take a course in brief history of fashion. Not only old issues of Vouge magazine will help you with this, but also textbooks on art history. To come up with something of your own, you need to rely on the experience of predecessors, otherwise you will condemn yourself to the invention of the bicycle.
Step 2
Take drawing lessons, especially if you are used to sketching a dress by simply copying it from Burda magazine. Let your own sketches be meticulously executed so that a great idea is not spoiled by a careless implementation. Be prepared to show your drawings to the experts, carry them out with great care.
Step 3
Look for ideas everywhere. Visit not only fashion shows, but also exhibitions, openings, theaters. Notice how the people around you are dressed. Visiting museums and even flea markets full of old things can give a serious creative impetus.
Step 4
Don't be afraid to borrow. Did you like your grandmother's blouse - a masterpiece of Soviet light industry forty years ago? Based on it, create your own version, which modern women of fashion will happily wear. A neighbor knitted a multi-colored winter hat that passers-by look around? Use this style when you decide to dress up teenagers.
Step 5
Try to keep abreast of all the latest trends, but don't blindly follow them. The collection that you create based on a photo from the latest issue of a fashion magazine will probably look very cute. But for a breakthrough in the fashion industry, it is not enough to be a diligent student, you need to bring your individuality into the world.
Step 6
Sew clothes for yourself and your loved ones, then your ideas will definitely not go to waste, and you will gain the confidence you need to move forward. Find out from experts, as well as from ordinary people, what they think of your dresses, trousers and skirts, take into account their comments.
Step 7
Believe in yourself! Fierce competition rules the fashion world, but talent will always make its way. Participate in competitions for young designers, arrange impromptu shows, let the world know about you, and success will not keep you waiting long.
