We all know what we
like to wear, or what we would like to wear for a particular
occasion. However, ensuring that it is converted into a garment,
we need the expertise of a designer. However, apart from
following our instructions, the designers also make suggestions
of what could look better on us.
A fashion designer is also often called a dress designer. He/she
designs various new and innovative dresses and also redesigns
existing dresses to suit the taste of the client. Dress
designers can be freelancers or can be working for a company. |
Freelancers have their non-standard rates
so getting a dress designed from a freelance dress designer can be a
really costly affair. However, that is the only way to get a seriously
exclusive dress made
The better known designers are reputed because of their innovativeness
and creativity. They dare to bring out a new trend. They have the
ability to think in three-dimension to translate into fashion what they
contemplate.
A competitive dress designer has to be fashion savvy and have the
knowledge and experience of elementary tailoring skills and techniques
and be able to distinguish among various kinds of fabrics. They should
know which colors go well with each other, which colors balance each
other etc.
To climb the ladder to public recognition a designer should be original,
experimental and inventive in designing custom made outfits and designer
dresses. Designers are always experimenting with new design styles every
season.
Several fashion institutes like National Institute of Fashion Technology
(NIFT), Indian Institute of Fashion Technology (IIFT) & Pearl Fashion
Academy have been established where students learn to translate their
creativity into dresses and fabric designs.
The media plays an important role in the fashion boom & good coverage is
provided to the fashion world & fashion events. Indian Fashion-based
programmes on the electronic media are frequent.
Indian fashion is competing with the best in the world and has won
worldwide acclaim, in the recent years with designers presenting their
lines on the international ramps. No doubt, the exposure they have got
from the media, has promoted them further. Many of the designers have
opened their outlets in various other countries.
