FASHION DESIGN-BECOMING A LUCRATIVE AFRICAN FASHION DESIGNER

Up to date, fashion design has been one of the most lucrative area of design. Many designers are cropping out in Africa. Many of them have brilliant design minds but some are better than the others. how does this come about?

i will take you through the secrets of being a flourishing designer in Africa. 

1. ESTABLISH YOUR NICHE

One vital aspect you need to know is that not everyone will love your work or output. Do not establish your market where you are just but imposing your wear on people. Try as much as possible to learn the wants of different people. Target the group of persons who really identify with your type of design. for instance, if it is African type of wear, your target can be the type of people or community which really appreciate and withhold the African culture. therefore, establishing your business close to them will be very paramount. After all, who said that all businesses have to be established in a city set-up?

2. BE FLEXIBLE

By being flexible, you don't just stick your mind to one type of design. you might be a good designer but you may not reach out to all persons.For instance, if you as a designer is specialized in African designs, do not be fixed on that type of design alone. There are those who will love the blending of the two. cater for them. Try also to balance the gender. Design for both sexes even if you are a specialist in only one. It is never hard as design is always a learning process

3. LEARN FROM OTHER DESIGNERS

However profound you as a designer may be, try to accept the fact that you are not the only designer who ever existed. Try to get some knowledge and skills from other fashion giants. follow them on social networks, see what they are trying to do that is making them unique from you. This will ultimately grow your thoughts

4. ADVERTISE YOURSELF IN MANY PLATFORMS

Do not fix yourself to the people who are just the immediate surrounding. Go to social networks like facebook and twitter. Post your work there as often as possible. Create a website or a blog for your fashion house. wordpress.org and blogger.com have made it easier for everyone to create their website in very few steps. Do not shy from them.
