Clothing is one of the major basic needs of human from the
early ages and now it come with different approach which is called design. With
increasing population day by day, the demand of clothing is also increasing so
as the designs. The design of clothing with respect to geography, society and
even the taste of individual are represented by fashion. So, fashion with
clothing ground gets fulfilled by footwear, jewelry and other accessories. So,
as a fashion designer you need to have an over all idea on modern trend of
clothing and styles with respect to your surrounding.
After the knowledge of Fashion, you need to understand the
market of your operation. You don't need to have a shop in a fancy market of
your town; rather your home or living place could be the best venue for a good
start. You first watch some recent designs and
pick some of them to construct by little or more modifying
them as you wish. Draw your dress designs or even make them and show the
designs or readymade garments to your neighbors or friends to know their
comments and inputs. This is your first survey and pre-launch marketing of your
collections to your niche market. Now, note all the comments and inputs from
your dear ones and attempt the collections to be materialized for your home
boutique.
You have already got an idea that which type of clothing you
are going to construct, i.e. the category, the cloth price range etc. Before
start collecting your raw materials, you should know where the bulk cloth is
being sold. The same thing for the other materials
Like yoke, thread, colorful stones, pattern papers and other
stuffs necessary for your design. You also should find the cost effective cutting
masters and sew masters for cutting and sewing the dresses. You also have a
source of workers who will support you for hand stitch, dyeing and other
necessary processes as you need.
Now construct your garments and invite your relatives,
friends and everyone you know to visit your collections. Also keep in mind
that, you always ask them about the collections, their likes and dislikes so
you can get the right fashion for them. Custom made dresses will be an extra
advantage for you to retain your customers and thus you will gather a huge
experience to understand customers’ choice.
After everything okay, you concentrate on your pricing.
Calculate all costs and expenses and present your customers cost effective
fashion, a feel good factor to you as you enjoy a good start up. Also set up a sales
target that will take your business forward.
As Fashion is very dynamic subject, so always keep watching
current movies, serials, magazines etc and discuss fashion people that will
help you present customers some exclusive collections. Best of Luck.
