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..

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.

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.
