In India where the mainstream question after a child has given his class 12^th board examinations is whether he/she will become an engineer or a doctor? There also exist some sought-out courses which help shape the careers of people while not following the pre-set mindset which has been taught to us ever since our childhood.

We usually get so busy in our day-to-day lives that we forget to look out of the ordinary, to think of other options, or dare I say think out of the box.  We don’t pay attention to the minute details or to the things happening around us which ends up becoming a reason for us to follow the herd mentality and follow the career paths which have been pre-designed or most of the people around us are following, be it engineering or an MBA.

 Looking around our surroundings can be as small as – we wear clothes, well who doesn’t love to play dress up and wear funky outfits when we go out, maybe try out our favorite influencer’s wardrobe ideas as well, but do we ever stop to think, what if I designed these clothes?

Well, if you stop and think about it, how cool would it be to be wearing your own designed top to a club? Well, it just doesn’t end here, imagine how cool it would be to see people wearing a top designed by you at a house party? It surely does sound overwhelming at first sight, to be honest, it is possible and it’s within your reach as well. Today all the things you read above and are imagining can become reality if you become a Fashion Designer; but how do I become one?

Well for starters many Fashion Designing Courses are waiting around the corner for you there are courses curated specifically for people like us by JD Institute. Mind you a fashion designer course is something that doesn’t only bring your dream of wearing a self-designed outfit to a party true but as we talked about earlier it is not one of the most sought after courses in India hence differentiates you from the crowd, helps you connect with like-minded creative people around the block who’re also doing similar courses, it helps you to gain knowledge about how much efforts it takes to design a single outfit which you may discard in a few seconds at a store saying you don’t like it.

Well, now it’s time to take charge, through a Fashion Designer course you can very well get skills like an eye for detail, understanding of market and consumers of different segments, sensitivity to shades, colors, and tones. All these when acquired by an individual account for a great Fashion Designer. As a student of arts, one needs to acquire them slowly over a period and it is a process these are qualitative skills not quantitative hence takes time to build them, an individual who’s studying at JD Institute by the end of their fashion designer course tends to have acquired all such skills.
