Learn how to ask questions

Remember, your design is a solution to a problem. If you do not have a clear idea about the problem, you won’t be able to design an effective solution. So, before creating something new, learn how to ask questions.

Learn to take new risks

Do you want your college life to be all about attending lectures, completing assignments and preparing for exams? Probably, not. To get the most of your time in here, you need to get out of your comfort zone. To do this, you can sign up for a summer internship, reach out to your seniors and more.

Develop a business mindset

Your design is not going to sell itself. To ensure a potential client appreciates your efforts and approves your design, you need to know how to sell it. To do this, you need to develop a business mindset. Make it a point to learn how to present an idea to an audience. Remember, your client won’t care much about the minute detail on the zipper. But, he will judge you on the way you present and market your designs.

Do not forget to take ‘inspiration’

Designing is one of the oldest professions out there. So, the way you tackle a problem or create a design has been used by some designer already. Your job is to learn how others have addressed a particular issue and work on improving them. Learn to get inspired by what is already present and work towards enhancing it!

These are our tips for all those who are pursuing a fashion designing course or are planning to. Remember, you need to evolve from a novice to a fashion expert till your final year. This is why you need to make the most of your time in a design college. All the best!
