A career in Fashion not just a "fashionable" career but quite a lucrative one too!

 The world of design and fashion has expanded enormously owing to globalisation and technology. India has been making its mark in the fashion industry across the world and is now a name to reckon with. Celebrities across the world are often spotted wearing Indian designers’ creations, be it clothes or accessories. 

Fashion designers help create the billions of dresses, suits, shoes and other clothing and accessories purchased every year by consumers. In a fashion designing school, students learn the history of fashion, different fashion techniques like cutting, sewing, tailoring, draping and finally presenting design, which could be using computers as well. And then you learn about marketing yourself and your designs. Classes teach you fashion marketing, business practices, client relations, and agency procedures. Once you have the fashion knowledge, school credentials and the right contacts, you may be able to gain an entry-level position as a fashion merchandiser,assistant designer, stylist, illustrator, private label designer or technical designer.

Fashion Designing is extremely relevant in today’s scenario of rapid developments in the fashion industry, where many Indian brands are competing with international brands .
