The fashion industry has come a long way from the time to designing clothes for royal highness to haute couture products of the present. A fashion designer is not just restricted to designing clothes according to the season and latest trends but also requires hardcore skills which include keeping oneself informed about the fashion industry, business and technology. Importantly, you should have the ability to work under stress and meet deadlines.

It is not only limited to selecting colours and decorating home furniture but also involves high value-based research on safety norms for the house and important architectural elements, including monitoring the floor space index.
