I’m a 14 year old girl and I love drawing, painting, and anything creative. My dream is to become a fashion designer, but i don’t know how to sew or anything about fashion design. Is there any way that i could learn on my own and start designing now?

hope it helps!
Hello! That is my dream too! I would reccomend to start taking art classes over high school You need to draw good because you have to be able to draw sketches of you line. Then over college take fashion classes. You could even go to a college that is just meant for fashion!
Also here is a websit where you can draw you own clothes on bodies. And you can be creative and make your own clothing line! This website is great! Ive been using it for years!
Hope I helped (:
Take life drawing classes, learn to sew, make a portfolio, copyright your company name.
That’s my dream too! Sketch A LOT! Plus, let your favorite designers influence and inspire you, allowing your style to be rather acceptable in a way. What I want to do: take fashion classes over the summer. Usually, we’re all bored in the summer, so we oughta do something good during that time. Also, test your abilities. Design something you really want to wear. Then get your materials. If you cant go to a school, research via internet for tips and tricks. Literally make your own clothes. Voila! I found out my fate was to be a fashion designer after I designed my prom dress and came out amazing!
Yes, you could start designing now make designs make sketches of clothes.Feel free to do that.On the other hand you couldn’t be a fashion designer yet not old enough. Sorry but that is life.
Find out what country they are from. Also write what type of fashion each company makes. These are called “fashion categories”. Some examples of categories are: footwear, accessiores, juniorwear, career wear. Decide what category interests you the most. Next start a scrapbook or portfolio with pictures of that type of fashion. If you want to add sketches, that will add to the notebook. Also make a list of companies or brands in that category, as well as your most favorite and inspirational designers. My favorite design fashion is Baby Phat.
Learn to draw drapery. If you can find a class that draws people or “life drawing”, take that too. If you can’t draw real people, start drawing from photos of fashion models. Also learn about color, and mixing color. Know what colors look good together and how color groups are assembled. Focus on drawing actual fashions, and perfecting drawing bodies.
Get a mannequin that you can pin fabric on or drape to make designs to see how they would fit a body. Draping is another word for covering, dressing, or hanging cloth in loose folds. You can learn about this in a sewing class, or through a fashion school or program.
Study the patterns and become familiar with sewing pattern shapes. Sew for real people (like family and friends) so that you get familiar with body shapes and fit. Also learn about fabric. Know what fabrics are made from (silk? wool? cotton?) and how they are woven (velvet, twill, satin).
You will learn a great deal about dealing with a customer and fitting the human body in all its variations (tall, short, petite or large). You can also charge money for your work.
Visit web sites such as pantone.com to see what colors are going to be in fashion. Also try to predict what fashion will be popular in the future. Is it being sold in stores or online? What are the major department stores? What stores sell the category of fashion you are interested in? Also learn about “targeting your customer base”. This means knowing the type of person who will buy your fashions.
If you live close to a community college or university, see if that school has a program in fashion. Plan to spend at least 2 years in any fashion design program. Don’t feel that you have to spend a lot of money to get this training. Many states have public colleges or trade schools with excellent fashion training.
Ask your teacher or instructor about this, an internship in Paris would be a fantastic opportunity.
When you graduate, you should have a portfolio of your best work. Usually these illustrations are of the one category that you are interested in finding a job in. A good portfolio will sometimes have sample garments too. A good size for a portfolio is 14″ x 17″.
Think of your first job as ‘graduate school’. You won’t be a designer yet, but you might work for one. It will be hard work, long hours, and lots of exciting times. As you work, you will move up the career ladder, working at many positions before you become a designer. A professional designer has huge responsibilities, and only a seasoned one qualifies to take on those tasks.
