i am very curious on the job market for fashion designers… actually anyone who is not an engineer… most of us would, by default become an engineer or doc..

It depends on the skill and talent of the individual,what he or dhe wants to pursue.
There future of fashion designing industry in India seems to be good as consumers are getting more and more interested in designer wear.This will definitely create a good number of job opportunities for people in this sector.

September 15th, 2008 at 7:39 am
i am graduate in the field of commerce!!i realised though late that my interest is in the field of fashion designing..
what exactly would you suggest for me.
a bachelors degree would ask for a lot of time , is there any short term course that i could possibly do, also considering the fact that i want to pursue my career in this field.it would be a lot of help if you could assist me with the essential details.thank you.
September 16th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Hi sheela, Since you are looking for short term courses I would suggest IIFT, which has short term courses of 3 and 6 months.
You can also consider other colleges for the 1 year diploma course,as 1 year is also a short time period.
September 25th, 2008 at 10:29 am

hi again, sir i am 22yrs of age…….want to know is there any age bar in joining the fd institutes
November 20th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Hi Ankit,
I think an MBA Degree and a qualification in fashion design will be a good combination.
The management skills you are learning in MBA will also help you in your career as a fashion designer.
I do not think so that there is any age limit in joining a fashion designing course.
November 26th, 2008 at 12:46 am

January 10th, 2009 at 1:18 am
Ankit,
Since you are a graduate you can pursue a post graduate program in fashion designing.NIFT has masters programs for graduates.
It is good to apply in 2 or 3 places.
January 10th, 2009 at 5:32 am

January 11th, 2009 at 12:23 am
Well, I don’t think that will be a problem,but I have not seen anybody doing that after graduation.Graduates
go for the post graduate programs.

May 1st, 2009 at 11:46 pm
Hello Prachi, Since you have done graduation in commerce, you already have some business knowledge.
I guess now it will be better for you to do a course in ‘fashion design’ so that you learn how the fashion industry functions.
A course in fashion designing combined with the knowledge of commerce will definitely help you in setting up your business.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:13 am

May 30th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
HEY ADMIN DIS IS SRISHTI
WANNA BCUM A FASHION DESIGNER
CUD U PLZ TELL ME WICH STREAM IS MORE SUITABLE ARTS COMMERCE OR SCIENCE
WILL COMMERCE BE A GUD OPTION….
N AFTER MA 12TH…WAT NEXT..SUM KINDAA INST. LYK NIFT RITE????/ N DEN…WAT??? CUD U PLZ TELL ME IN DETAIL..
May 31st, 2009 at 1:44 am
I think arts is a good option if one wants to pursue fashion designing.
But then a lot of people take commerce or science and still become fashion designers. It depends on the individual.
Take the example of JJ Valaya, he studied chartered accountancy before becoming a designer.
