1 Essential Tools

As a fashion designer, your toolkit should include the basics like pencils for sketching, a good quality drawing tablet for digital art, and measuring tools for precise garment creation. These instruments lay the foundation for your designs, allowing you to draft and revise your concepts before they ever hit the runway. A reliable sewing machine is also crucial for bringing your sketches to life and experimenting with different textiles and techniques.

Siempre tener un buen kit de herramientas ayudara bastante, pero más ayuda el saber bien utilizarlas. Además de también saber en que momento y como aplicarlas, junto con tu imaginación seran de lo mejor.

Learn to make clothes. Many fashion designers have a strong designer muscle and a weak pattern maker muscle. Constructing a garment is not a natural talent and needs to be developed over time. I have never meet anyone who could construct a retail ready garment without lot of practice. Finding the joy in making clothes requires a passion that most fashion designers don't have. As a professional pattern maker, I can only imagine the frustration of not being able to realize my vision.

2 Design Software

In the digital age, mastering fashion design software is non-negotiable. Programs that enable you to create detailed patterns, play with color palettes, and simulate fabric drape are essential. They allow for efficient alterations and can save you time and resources by perfecting designs before the physical prototype stage. Familiarizing yourself with various software options will give you the flexibility to work in different environments and collaborate seamlessly with teams.

3 Fabric Knowledge

Understanding fabrics is like knowing your palette as a painter. You need to be familiar with how different materials behave, their costs, and their suitability for particular designs. This knowledge will inform your choices and help you to design garments that are not only beautiful but also practical and wearable. Keep a swatch book of fabric samples as a reference, and don't hesitate to visit suppliers to get a feel for new materials.

Don't be afraid to play around with new fabrics. Test them, drape them on the mannequin. Before I started sewing, I would go to textile warehouses and ask for damaged or soiled fabrics. They are cheaper and you can play around or experiment with the fabric without breaking the bank.

Euromonitor has very accurate reports of consumer trends for the year emphasising not only on fashion, but technology, wellbeing, food, cost of living and sustainability. All these things are connected to the fashion industry and are centred around what consumers care about.
