Fashion Design

Hi Aatish! The major difference is, a Textile Designer creates the pattern, designs for fabric and also develops fabric. The textile designers also do embellishment of fabrics. They have to select yarn, colour for the yarn, and dyes for making new fabrics. The Fashion designers, on the other hand, use the fabric developed by the textile designer to create new designs for clothes.

Their imagination sees a design, they sketch it with colors on the paper and then give shape to their imagination by selecting fabric for the making new designed clothes. Both have a vast career scope. Now that you must have understood the difference between the two, you can take your call according to your area of interest.

The Design is a growing field and it is finding new corners and platforms outside the already established ones in the trade. Leather design is one such field that is coming up in a big way. In order to make a good career in this industry as such no professional qualification or formal education is required.

But having a formal education in this field will be always useful because the high paying jobs will be available only for the qualified people. There are various job roles available like Marketing, Leather Engineer etc. Good Package jobs would be available only for 15% people. Top colleges offering this course include NIFT, NID and FDDI.
