The Top 3 Mistakes Fashion Designers Make

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


In order for men and women to create the best clothing lines imaginable, it's likely that they will go to school for fashion design. This subject is, to many, one of the most striking and I believe that most others would be able to agree. With this in mind, though, it's important to recognize the fact that even the most learned designers will find themselves making mistakes now and then. With this 3-point list in mind, hopefully, fewer mistakes will be made along the way.

When college graduates are unwilling to build their skills, it's a mistake that should be addressed. Keep in mind that many students will find themselves learning about their focuses, even outside of the standard classroom environments. Internships and externships alike may be taken up, since these positions allow men and women alike to get a feel of what certain lines of work entail. It also doesn't hurt that they can allow for different names which can be added to resumes later on.

Another mistake that fashion design students make is not focusing their efforts on a particular niche. While it may seem useful for designers to branch out, not being able to pinpoint an area of interest may result in their efforts becoming more scattered than they probably should be. Try to focus on a set of garments and play around with different colors and designs. This way, you'll be able to focus on a specific audience, helping your efforts along the way.

When fashion designers overlook standard marketing efforts, it's clear that problems can rise to the surface. The reason for this is because the general audience must be aware of your work, regardless of how confident you are in the work itself. Utilize examples like television, radio, and the Internet so that word of your product reaches as many people as possible. If this is done, there's no doubt that your efforts, in marketing, will be made better.

No one can argue with the fact that fashion design is home to a number of advantages, some of them more prominent than others. The creation of clothing goes without saying but other aspects like marketing should not be overlooked. Going about such an action can prove to be something of a problem, especially when given the fact that mistakes can impede a budding designer's work. Fortunately, with the recognition of mistakes like the ones mentioned above, fashion design can be made to be a less taxing endeavor.
