Creativity Key To Changing Fashion Trends

If you are born with an artistic mind then you are blessed. Creativity is an energy from within, which refreshes you and spreads enthusiasm around. Preserving this talent is essential. All of us pave our way to generate income for survival.

 Somehow its a truth that you are your best teacher. Formal education and degrees can be well sought but improvements are autonomous feelings. Supposing one is the best designer in town and has raked enough moolah with many fashion shows. You are a style guru and have your mantras. This is that peak in life which beckons you to empower yourself with more talents.

 Fashion and design are brisk business centres. Style come and go and re-invent themselves. It is a gamut of business concerning clients and adhering to trends. To carve a niche is easy, to be a pioneer is achievable but to stay there is survival.

 Get into the habit of reading books other than your ritual fashion magazines. Know the world, understand market trends and find potential in business areas. If textile is flourishing business, then diversify your current talent. Hone your skills in block printing and tie and die methods. Keep abreast of earlier fashion trends, watch for repetitions and know all about fabrics and weaving. Leave no room for excuses and lack of knowledge.

 Leaf over your old sketches, suggest self-improvements, encourage new talents, learn from novices too. Invent colors and experiment with fall of fabrics. Make thematized business presentations viz. seasonal clothes, trousseau collection or 1st birthday celebration in kid apparels. In India the need for fashion is growing and a designer has much to explore.

 Learn about knits and crochets, get down the basics of silk threads, adapt a new fabric to Indian seasons. Set a trend. Many times your ideas boomerang, but let that be a springboard for further self development. Practice your strokes, be international in your business and convey effectively.

 Creative fields rush the adrenaline high to cause burn-outs. List your priorities and balance well. Network with people in difference streams, appreciate their views and imbibe them in your designs. Be keen to explore and try to learn something new often.

Colourful Fashion Industry Spreads Its Wings Globally

With the end of the 20th century came the end of all hype which has created a more practical and pragmatic environment and has given a more stable picture of the fashion business.
 In the 50s, 60s and 70s, the Indian fashion scenario wasn't exactly colorless.

 It was exciting, stylish and very graceful. There were no designers, models, star or fashion design labels that the country could show off. The value of a garment was judged by its style and fabric and not by who made it.

 It was regarded as ever so chic and fashionable to approach any unfamiliar tailor, who could make a garment for a few rupees, providing the perfect fit, finish and style. The high society lady, who wore it, was proud for getting a good bargain and for giving her name to the end result.

 In 60s, tight 'kurtas', 'churidars' and high coiffures were a trend among ladies. It was an era full of naughtiness and celebration in arts and music and cinema, manifested by liberation from restriction and acceptance of new types of materials such as plastic film and coated polyester fabric.

 For doll collectors who have a liking for fashion, collecting fashion dolls seem like a logical option as a hobby. And there are so many different types of fashion dolls out there in the market that it's easy to get confused. There are large toddler-sized fashion dolls, there are teddy bear sized fashion dolls and...let's not forget those tiny little miniature fashion dolls that you can place over dressing tables, closets or on the bedside table itself!
