Fashion Design

Hi Sunetra!
You should pursue a Bachelors or Masters in fashion design first. You can apply and pursue internship at some reputed fashion house, which will help you to get an edge over others when you apply for a job. You should gain some experience as an employee with some fashion brand for about 5-8 years if you wish to work independently later. In order to work as a designer for actors and actresses, you need to work hard and exhibit your work at bigger levels. Hence I have advised you to look out for reputed fashion brands to work with. Also, read some case studies of the big brand to understand how they made it big in the industry. If you have the passion and talent, nobody can stop you from being a successful fashion designer.

The new academic year generally begins in the month of July. The course fee for interior designing varies in different colleges, but for an idea, government colleges like, NIFT or NID would charge around INR 8 Lacs for a 4-year course. The private colleges would definitely have higher fees than this. Situation test is a practical based test. It doesn't relates to your specific stream, but is conducted on a basic level for every design student no matter which stream in design he/she further wishes to choose. The situation test is all about creative, innovative ideas, which are to be shown practically with a limited time frame. The material is provided to you which can be anything. Like a paper or a matchstick or may be a rubber band. You will have to use the material to build what the question says. You will be judged on various things like idea, creativity and how you can think out of box in the given time.

Pearl academy-Noida and Jaipur both are considered the best design institutes among the list of private design colleges. Of course, pearl has a good placement cell and most of the students are recruited for jobs. Apart from jobs and placements, it has good facilities in terms of architecture, tools, labs, hostels and much more. I would say it's the perfect academy for fashion design except for the fee structure. Since the total fee structure is really high for even a high-middle class student, most students try to go for government colleges. But if the fee is affordable, which is like a crore or so for a 4-year graduation programme, it's a good option with a good scope in fashion designing.
