A competitive and exhaustive industry

Be aware of current fashion trends
Work with a design team to create a suitable design
Communicate with sales teams to understand market demand for your product
Understand and monitor how your design would be produced from beginning to end
Creative and have an eye for colours
As a Fashion Designer, you must be able to churn up different designs and concepts. In this highly competitive industry, it is crucial for you to create something new with a breath of fresh air to sustain your business. Have you ever seen a greatly designed clothing but it looks like as if someone accidentally splattered paint on it? This is why you will need to be detailed when it comes to colour matching as well! A nice design will be ruined if the colours do not match.
Ability to design traditionally or with computer programmes
You would need to be flexible in both ways. There are some things your hands cannot do compared to the high technology computer programmes and vice versa. Therefore, if you can do both, it would be extremely beneficial to your design and production.
Being aware of business and fashion trends
Trends come and go like the ocean waves. You must be aware and alert at all times so that you can design something that will suit the demand of the public or better yet, creating a new trend. Businesses or Fashion Designers who keep up with the trend will be able to sustain and expand their business because the amount of profit that can be raked during the trendy season is definitely a very attractive sum.
