Engaged in the clothing industry is a relatively hard and trivial industry. Before you want to engage in this industry, you should be fully prepared, patient, careful and persistent. If these conditions are met, the next step is to accumulate professional knowledge. Of course, professional fashion colleges are the main way to learn fashion design at present. Relatively speaking, Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and Shanghai Donghua University are relatively good clothing colleges in China, but at present, the school education of many clothing colleges is often divorced from the actual operation, which is largely an armchair strategist. Therefore, many students who have just graduated from fashion colleges can't get started immediately after joining the job, and they will feel that what they have learned in many schools is not practical. So you don't have to go to a professional college to learn fashion design. Clothes are a necessity in daily life. In fact, you can learn a lot by observing and pondering carefully in your life. As a fashion designer, you can't just draw a fashion style. More importantly, you should know how to realize your own design ideas, such as what kind of noodle accessories, what kind of production technology, pattern adjustment, pattern design, decoration and so on. Therefore, the combination of practice and theory is the quality of a good designer. Fashion design is a practical art, not only should we know how to draw beautiful renderings, but more importantly, we should be able to show our own designs in the form of objects. There are many ways to cultivate these aspects. For example, an old tailor can ask about the pattern of clothes, go to the factory to learn the manufacturing technology and craft of clothes, go to the shopping mall to see the selection and collocation of different types and seasons of clothes, read more design materials and master the basic color matching principles in books. These are all things that can be learned without going to the Institute of Fashion, but the knowledge that can be learned from these aspects is often more solid and operational. Of course, the development of clothing is also very fast now, and skills such as CAD and professional drawing design software must also be mastered. At present, the commonly used software is CorelDRAW \ Photoshop \ Illustrator \ Freehand, which may require some special study and training. In short, fashion design is not difficult, and life is a good teacher.
