[su_highlight]Introduction:[/su_highlight]

Fashion designing is a great career plan for next-gen startups. After studying fashion design and passing out, many of us do not understand what will be the career option. Business or a job. I also had this kind of question, at first, I did not understand what I should do. Later I decided to go for a job instead of a business. I thought having good company would enhance my experience and I would learn a lot.

[su_highlight]Practical Experience:[/su_highlight]

Practical education is more important than reading texts, so it is better to do business after learning practical applications. A logical experience like designing details to market strategy, handling pattern making for tailoring units, embroidery to stitching, or production to merchandising is needed for valuable work.

[su_highlight]Find your Niche in Fashion Designing:[/su_highlight]

When you choose the job of designing, you need to think about what you specialize in, maybe textile design, clothing, accessories, handicrafts, shoe designing, etc. Always find your niche in any creative field.
When we work under a good designer Couture or a recognized brand, we can gain a lot of experience from them. Knowledge of realistic education is always necessary for any creative zone.

One thing we need to keep in mind before choosing a job of which section we are skilled in, like Menswear, Kidswear, Womenswear, Plus size designing, shoe designing, accessory design, or Home Decor. The work should be done from your heart, so discover the right place for your satisfaction. Before an interview, make a good profile on a Social Media Platform and upload your Biodata to well-known career sites, it will help you to find a job that suits your intellect. Brief research must be done before inclusion. It is an open space for all, but in this highly competitive market, it is really difficult to get a favorable job where you can work openly without any hindrance.

If you want to learn and gain recognition, you have to work in a better place with a good Fashion designer, It is better not to work in small boutiques because they will pay you less and on the contrary will not introduce you as an innovator. I have gone through such situations before, it feels bad. However, everything is an experience of our lives that we cannot learn without making mistakes.
So friends! Be aware of your employers with all your inquiries before commitment. You must take the appointment letter before you start work and must read all the documents carefully.
