Fashion Design as a Career -- simon intijaz
Fashion is not a superficial thing.
People work hard on their designs.
Designers consider their work art, and it is taken very seriously.
So, what does it take to become a fashion designer?
Let's find out...
Doctors! Scientists! Engineers! These are three common career choices of most African families. But with such a huge generations clash we notice significant changes occurring in African lifestyles. One change in particular is having the independence to decide what to do with one’s life.
Everyone knows how African parents are very restrictive when it comes to career choices. To them any career option outside the field of medicine or science is considered completely “unacceptable.” Today, African teens are breaking their barriers and pursuing careers of their choice.
YaQur had the opportunity to get some insight about a career that has caught the attention of many – Fashion Design. Fashion design is the applied art that is dedicated to clothing and accessories that are created within a cultural or social influence of a specific time.
I want to be a fashion designer but how do I get started? Do I go to school? Or should I drop out and find a job at a local boutique? Should I start my own company? Does this sound like you?
Forget your worries and concentrate on the big picture. The first important thing you must do is find out what you want to do in fashion design. Get involved with the industry! Contact someone that’s involved in Fashion Show production and Fashion promotion. Book an appointment with them and ask if you can help out with the next project. This way, you are one step closer.
One important key aspect of the fashion industry is building contacts. Although many people believe that money is the only way to get into the industry. Despite what they say, money really isn’t everything. Anyone can work their way in to the fashion industry, all they need is to be passionate and talented.
Thus, building contacts is very important. Meeting people at fashion shows, or other fashion related events are a great way to introduce you to other people in the fashion industry. Sometimes having contacts will benefit you because they can help make your big break in the fashion industry.
We spoke to ‘The Urban Fashion Girl’ (TUFG) who is based in California, USA, who gave her views on Fashion Design as a career choice. When asked about her love for the fashion industry, she told us, “I’ve always loved the fashion industry. I see fashion as an art form; not just mere clothing. Designing clothes and styling outfits are my passions.” And added,
“You don’t need to be wealthy to be a part of the Fashion Industry. Fashion is just what I love most. One can have a passion for fashion no matter what their financial situation is.”
Just like any other career, the fashion industry also comes with pros and cons.
The biggest pro of being in this industry is that it allows you to show the world your creativity. The fashion industry lets their designer’s imagination go wild, which is then shown through the designer’s work.
Getting into the business is one con itself, in order to seek the position you wish in this industry, you have to be able to work hard and never give up. Also, when designing anything, a fashion designer’s work must be unique, and not be copied by someone else. In the industry, many get influenced by their favourite designer and sometimes end up designing something that is very similar to what another designer has made.
When TUFG was asked about her approach to unique design, she said, “I am definitely a unique dresser. I think outside the box and mix and match in an unexpected way. I would leave my mark in the industry.
Everyone knows how having a proper education is important. When it comes to making your career choice, make sure you discuss your plans with your parents and friends. After all, all they want is for their children and friends to become successful. Though few may find that the fashion industry is not a steady career choice due to its reputation of being an unreliable industry.
Thus, it’s important to have a backup plan. One can go to university and receive a degree, and still have a passion for fashion. The only difference is that having a degree in a different career will benefit you in the long run.
TUFG strongly agrees and said, “Education comes first no matter what. Getting a great education in spite of my passion for fashion is a personal decision.”
In the end those of you who love fashion and wish to pursue a career should start planning and achieving their goals now. The fashion industry has a lot to offer to those who are strongly passionate about the industry.
Like any other career, in order to reach your desired position in the industry you must work your way up. Contacts can only help you get started the rest is up to you to carry on. Hard work and determination are two things that will get you far in this career.
TUFG declares that enthusiasm and belief in yourself is important for a career in fashion. and said, “Everyone is entitled to have a career in something they are passionate about.”
Like any other choice, the world of fashion as a career needs to be decisive on your part with the notion that it is not going to be smooth sailing, but a very interesting journey; allowing you to express yourself through your designs and giving someone the pleasure of wearing your creations.

Simple thoughts of a simple man : Questions -- simon intijaz
I have just few Questions that may give rise to more questions.
Do you think you have the answers ?
1) Was the Yakurr LGA guest House (one time kopola) Renovated and quickly completed just to house the guests of the bereaved Governor after its foundation was laid since 1990 by Kizito Attah ?
2 ) Can any politician. (south-east especially) forfeit his salary,estacod,allowances,scurvy checkup in germany,convoy,10% contract cut for 4 months ? Even if the reason is for a hike in all of the above perks?
3) can Ibori and all his co bedsheet stainers (am not judging o, most of us are guilty) ..em.....wives....no...women including his (not) ex-wife and lawyer truly be granted a fair trial in the UK ? (whatever happened to our judicial system?)
4 )What is Ubi Arikpo doing as the Ugep urban development Chairman when the grasses and trees along the Ikom/Calabar highway is already struggling the lanes with automobiles ?
5) Did NLC embark on this industrial action to let all and sundry (which starts and ends with politicans) know that internal revenue from labour has no effect on the economy,.....em sorry...allocations ? Seriously cos they're not gonna use the bank (ghana must go dey) , nor fly today(armada is a good substitute,not faster but it'll pass) ,visit the hospital (yaradua of blessed memory has debunked that) , patronize PHCN/NEPA (Heard Aso burns trillions of kobo on diesel monthly) , or even stroll to the streets for that matter in a quest to finding out where all the worker's are holed up today.
6) Must students stay in the university for 6 + x years?

TONY EKOH : He came, saw, fought ....;and then left .-- simon intijaz
FADED..........
Creasing age and ailments , shall anything halt you ?
if soaked in preserving salve,
if charmed with diet and workout would you stop..?
if bribed with care and comfort would you stop.?
Forcefully you have caused his resignation. knowledge and power admits defeat.
An icon unaccopanied had to depart Supine he was laid arms tucked to the sides,
then came kaleidoscopic expression of grief; wailing,groaning,senseless gibberish, streaming tears,rolling out and tossing, anguish seared our senses...
Helplessly you tossed in pains helplessly we watched futile our medications futile our meditations furtile our petitons,our panics...
Finally honourable you bowed out,abandoning all. your poems, your songs, your drums, your trumpets, your paintings , your dreams , the Rastafarian community.....
Taking only faith,you passed through the dark to another dawn where pleasure and peace borne and...
Off you had faded; age and sickness as bleaching agent
GOODBYE; OUR HERO
As you walk into the reception there.
Jah Rastafarai !!!!

I must give Kudos to Channel O and say Well done Naija.
