Question by ?aLi?: For me, fashion design is a hobby, how do I make it more?
I love designing clothes…as a hobby along with acting. Right now acting is just a “side job” and I’d really like to focus on design. Are there any websites, e-mail addresses or helpful tips you can give me on making my line real?
What I DON’T need:
1. Don’t say fashion is a potential catfight career, I REALLy do NOT care in the slightest.
2. Don’t give me stupid answers…I want something real, something that can be backed up.
3. Cut to the chase. Please. You guys are helping make my dreams a reality!
Thanks to ALL soooooooo much!

Make designs for your friends, and soon word will get around that you have talent. You can start charging ppl money for your clothes, send your designs to fashion agencies, and try your best to get your designs out there. If the first time you don’t get anywhere, don’t give up! You seem like a dedicated person, so keep on following your dream and everything will fall into place. 😀
Give your answer to this question below!
Most community colleges have classes in design, some even have an Associate’s degree program you could take. Taking classes can help you decide if you really want to make a career out of it, and can help refine your skills.
hey sweeti. thats so awsome try going to like walmart or soemthing and buying a sketch book or something and take all your designs and put them in a portfolio try taking some pices of fabric and putting them on there so when you present your things they can see what type of fabric you are looking for.
is there any local modeling places around. around here there is john casablanca’s modeling and they have desing things there you can maybe take you portfolio with you and they can set up an interview with you and work something out
im sure you’ll find a way to make your dreams cometrue your a very determined girl and people will notice that.
good luck 😀

I don’t know jack about fashion design, but i can say this to hopefully help. Pick some niche people groups to serve, rather than trying to serve everyone. What is fashionable and practical for…say…Christians? Ham Radio Operators? Budding debutantes? City Dwellers? Whatever the groups you choose to serve, keep your focus, understand them, and you will achieve much!
Best wishes…
