| Answer: Always remember that unless you have a temperament and aptitude, you should not choose a field to be your career. Since you yourself feel that you can do fashion designing in a better way than finance, then you must pursue fashion designing only.
If you feel that you need some more training and practice than go for some advanced course.Fashion Design can be divided into three main branches — Garment design, Leather design, Accessory & Jewelery design. You can opt for:
- Apprenticeship under a flourishing, well-known designer.
- Employment in an export house or garment manufacturing unit.
- Freelancing for fashion houses and boutiques.
- Self-employment, as in opening your boutique or manufacturing unit or an export outfit to showcase your talent.
You can also opt for a course in accessory design or specifically in jewelery design, knitwear design, footwear design or leather design — the options are as diverse as the range and variety of accessories themselves. If you are interested in further specialisation to work in a large manufacturing unit or start your own fabrication unit someday, you could opt for post-graduate courses in garment manufacture, merchandising, etc.
So don't lose heart and start working hard to make your dream career a success.
All the best
