Scope for Fashion as a Career:

My take on Fashion as a Career:

Sure you like to design and play with colours! Nonetheless, can you make it your career? And, what scope does Fashion have besides designing?

Here is the answer. :)

It is quite possible to make it a career. You can surely intern with some labels and contribute your ideas in the making. In the process, develop your own line when you have ample capital and support.

A career in Fashion is not confined to DESIGNING. There are areas of specialization. Such as, Marketing, Merchandising, Editor of a Fashion Magazine and a Fashion Blogger in combination with being an online retailer. Quite diversified!

I'm often asked these questions:

Can these be bread and butter for a Good Lifestyle?

Why not? When it comes to Merchandising, you can advise designers to sell their collection and share the profits and revenue. To substantiate, it is like a financial analyst/ ad-visor giving inputs on investment ideas.

As a Fashion Designer, you can definitely earn a higher margin of profit by simply planning your production cost wisely such as procurement of raw materials and use of labour. 

Fashion Marketing!

" It's all about creating a trend and executing your creation."

Just like the Half-Saree trend set by Manish Malhotra's line that drew all Fashionistas to don it with poise, grace and elegance.

Your next question would be whether writing and giving inputs to a Fashion Magazine make a good living.

My answer to your question is: Can a company or an entity do without a Human Resource Manager? Your opinion is Oxygen to the Magazine. In addition, you get perks and opportunities to be a guest of honour at events where you are free to express yourself and practice being a private consultant and help your client look Gorgeous! Isn't that lucrative?

You have got a taste of Fashion as a career. Why not implement it if it interests you and  gets your fashion sense wondering? :).
