Thread: How can I become a fashion designer?

Hi, ive been thinking a lot of my future I want to be a fashion designer i.e have my own brand name and own it. I know it will be hard but where do I start ? And when? And I also want to own teen vogue (the magazine industry) but I dont know how it will happen. Any Ideas ? (:

Learn everything there is to know about clothing (what matches, what colors go with seasons, what looks good on certain people and brings out there features, clothing brands, clothing types, what materials and patterns work, ect.) Also begin a sketch book or portfolio of clothes you like or want to design. Then do really well in schooling and look around at some art schools. See what degrees you need to get in and do it. Also remember it's one baby step at a time for your goal. Good luck!
