How do you train yourself to be a fashion designer?

I think design is based on the understanding and cognition of beauty, and I can usually look at more designer works and paintings and architectural works. These can bring a lot of inspiration to clothing design. The next thing is to understand the production process of the garment and the material properties of the fabric, only by understanding these, can we know what designs are reasonable in the production of the garment from the plane to the finished product, those that need to be avoided, what fabrics are needed, and the garments made of different fabrics will have different visual effects, and communicate with the craftsman and the pattern maker, and can also clearly express the effect you want the final presentation of the garment.

This is a great help for costume making! It's too slow and cumbersome to draw by hand, and many effects can't be expressed. Therefore, the last technology that must be mastered is PS and hand-drawn tablet, which is more convenient to draw pictures, and customers can more intuitively feel the effect of designing and making finished products, which is what we commonly call renderings!

As a fashion designer, improve your aesthetics, and try to get yourself into the fashion industry and accept the influence of beauty, because if the aesthetic ability is not high, even if the work at hand is good, it will not help. On the other hand, all kinds of clothing pattern making, clothing tailoring and ironing, all of them are free, and their own hands can support aesthetic design, and they cannot be a qualified fashion designer without either.

Cultivating your own aesthetic first, this is the most important. Secondly, you have to be a walker, and seeing different landscapes will give you more inspiration. Again, you have to have enough knowledge and literacy, and reading more books will add a lot of connotation and inspiration to your design.

Finally, exercise your ability to express yourself, good design needs to express your design concept. Remember to pay attention to market demand and observe consumers.

I studied design in college, at that time I was interested in fashion design, often as an auditor to listen to lectures, listen to a few years to listen to the theory, the practical room and no idle machine, I do not have any practical experience, just the aesthetic improvement, understand a variety of style types, but a finished garment, need two things, one in the brain of aesthetic design, one is the work at hand. Sometimes in comparison, the work at hand is slightly better, because now there is no shortage of design of all kinds of creative and strange clothes, and the need is really down-to-earth craftsmanship.

Fashion designers are actually the job of engineers, to decide what clothes to make, what materials, what process, how much the cost price, everything has to make their own ideas, the more comprehensive the knowledge and technology to master, the better. It is basically impossible to learn these things by yourself, such as clothing materials, colors, and shapes, which may not be able to be learned by teachers who are not proficient, and cutting or craftsmanship can only be understood by seeing them with your own eyes and trying them with your own hands. "My friend said that the design part is mainly on oneself and you don't need to learn", this friend doesn't know anything about fashion design, right?

A person who can copy the plate is not a designer. To be a real designer, it is best to go to a professional institution such as a fashion designer training school to study systematically.

I am from Xiamen, to the north to learn clothing, I personally suggest you can go to Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology to find out, there are many such institutions in Beijing, Xiamen here I see a relatively small number of better ones, Shanghai also has a lot of such job opportunities can also be considered. In addition, in the case of China, there are only a few good designers, and most ordinary Chinese designers are copying each other, and for those small clothing companies, designers have to grasp the entire clothing process, not just clothing. The threshold in the field of clothing is very low, so there are many people who come into this field, and if you want to do well, you still have to rely on continuous perseverance.

A good designer should be able to design according to the plan, and the fabric, color, collocation, and even the cost should be taken into account. Designers need to be innovative and find a balance between design and the market. A lot of the designs are ugly from a design point of view, but they have a good market performance; Some of them are very designed, but they are not really worn, and they are difficult to wear.

It's great if the designer has this balance, but it's not something that can be achieved in the short term.

Is fashion design a career or a dream? Occupation, as long as you have the relevant qualifications. Even, some friends, friends who do not have relevant qualifications, but after self-study, they can also become fashion designers.

Dream, persevere, make a career out of it and enjoy it. Or like Ma's father, earn more money, and use money to realize your dreams and make more money.

There are specializations in the art industry, and designers are also divided into many categories, some do the whole series, and some are unidirectional, such as only involving**or only involving**. Think about the positioning first, and then ask for details. The people I know have professional backgrounds, and there are also self-taught people who have explored their own set.

A large part of it basically relies on copying and copying!
