Tips for New Aspiring Fashion Designers

_______________________________________

There are so many fashion designers with thousands of unique ideas. They come from all over the world. Some are lucky enough to know right from childhood they were meant to be designers and some grow a love for it as they get older. When we look at magazines full of gorgeous fashion garments, pictures of models wearing designer clothing and runway shows that give and take so much inspiration, it's easy to get hooked on the action filled fashion world.     It has created a generation where almost everyone wants to be a fashion designer.   That being said I wanted to give a few little tips to some of you who have decided to try a career in fashion design but have no idea where to start. It's not as difficult as it seems.
  Get Inspired Search, observe, and imagine. Search the internet, magazines, and anything that you know you love to see if you get an ideas. Inspiration can come from anywhere, the people around you, the sky, the flowers, literally anything. Observe the people around you, what they love , what they wear, and how they like to wear it. Observe colors that work together, observe everything.  Imagine your new design, and be creative. It might seem a little hard or overwhelming at first because there's so many things already out but if you have vision then it will certainly become easier over time. Your imagination will overflow with ideas.
Start drawing You don't know how to draw? Start by using templates or croquis.  You can find them and many more on www.fashion-era.com or Google.com. Just print them out and then trace them with layout paper and draw your design. It helps you draw faster and helps you get your idea down quicker. Remember, getting your idea down on paper is more important than getting every detail on the figure perfect. After a while you might not need the templates anymore. Then you can start adding some personality to your fashion design model. Maybe a cute hair cut and some outstanding jewelry or make her pose a unique way that adds character to the drawing. Like these few beautiful drawings:

  

Take Initiative Critiques are to improve your work, make the clothes, get the customers, sell the clothes Do not be afraid to show people your designs or to go to other people for opinions.  Remember you can learn from other people and you can always get better at drawing. If you have the guts, you can submit your work for evaluation or maybe for a job if an opportunity arrises. Or you can try having your own fashion line, by deciding on a brand name - registering it - learning to sew or hiring someone to do it for you and getting customers. You can decide where you want to sell, (online, home, small shop, ect..). To read more about fashion design visit the related articles:

About Me / My first Post, Welcome

Hello there!

Welcome to my blog! Pure Treasure. 
You're probably thinking, 'what a name for a blog'.
 It was kind of hard to choose a name. When you're a new blogger and have no idea what you're getting yourself into, and every site about blogging says it is of major importance, than it gets a little overwhelming finding the perfect name. 
I chose that name because of a quote that says, "A pure heart is the greatest of all treasures." It always reminds me that there is nothing, not even a jewel on earth, more important than a heart full of  happiness, love, confidence, purity, and awesomeness, that really is the greatest treasure. That is why I named my blog Pure Treasure.

My purpose for this blog is

WordPress or Blogspot?

I started two blogs, fully intending on maintaining both of them, but I have to say it's much harder than it seems. I have a Wordpress blog that has been going great for me so far with over 40 posts and followers.

Blogger, have I been neglecting you? with your lonesome post made in July. I've barely finished customizing the background and adding categories.

Well, don't worry any longer, I will make some time to post here more often! Starting from right now..
