Is it really stupid of me to dream about being a really big fashion designer in pakistan? from what i’ve been reading on this message board, the fashion industry in pakistan is made up of elites who design only for the slim slim percentage of the pakistani upper class. at least the stuff i design, girls in my family, my frends could all wear them; they’re not things that wud put our families to shame.
PS: i would post up pix of my designs but they’re too big to upload onto here, and i don’t know how to reduce the size.
I'm sure you would do fine being a fashion designer. What is working these days for a lot of talented pple is that they open up their own services from their homes (granted they live in pakistan)...and by word of mouth they get customers.
And honestly, the quality of their clothing is WAY better than what I see in some boutiques.
So, that's always an option. A few ladies in my family do that kind of thing, although on a very small scale. And its mainly by word of mouth they get their customers. They've recently started, so their customer circle is small right now.
But when women out there find out that someone is making nice designs for good prices - word spreads fast and pple come knocking on your door all the time. Nice way to make good money on the side.
my sister was into fashion designing and I have a friend who is going to design college or smoething, basically you have to be the best to get anywhere in taht business.
You need to have a brilliant portfolio for one.
You may want to invest in some drawing classes, and/or begin working on stensils and designing around that?
it true in pakistan it doesn't matter if the designers have any talent or not. it all depends on how much money they have and who they know. i've seen the most ridiculous outfits in some of the pakistani magazines. most of the designers don't even have any training. they are just rich bored house wives who hire a tailor who does all the work for them and then they call themselves "fashion designers"
