To be a fashion designer, you will need to have a good eye for colour and shape. You'll need skills such as pattern-cutting and sewing. You'll also need to able to spot trends. You will usually need a relevant higher education qualification, such as a foundation degree, HND or degree to be a fashion designer. Fashion design has become highly competitive today. If you want to pursue a career in this industry, you will have to work harder and develop several other skills. It is not only about getting a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design but also about Visual Arts, General Design and even Graphic Design knowledge.
