Example: look up the fashion sketches of the iconic Claire McCardell, for example. How many of the absolute GREATS of fashion design and haute couture NEVER WENT TO FASHION DESIGN SCHOOL!!! How many of them did totally unconventional sketches? SO MANY. I’ve spent the last 20 years bringing beginners into fluency in design drawing and expression and i’m passionate about that because of my OWN experience of personal transformation.ĭRAWING SKILLS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO REALIZE YOUR DREAM!!! LEARN MORE ABOUT THE LANGUAGE OF FASHION DESIGN in my book by the same name.ĭrawing IS an INCREDIBLY POWERFUL design tool, as well an amazing channel for self expression, creativity, and COMMUNICATION with others about (fashion) design ideas. You want to use it to visually communicate: If you DO pursue to learn fashion sketching, why would you? My Parsons students have so often been coming into Fashion Design transitioning out of other industries and careers and eager to bring creative visions to life through fashion- THERE IS CERTAINLY NO ART QUITE LIKE FASHION DESIGN and illustration. Even if you do it on the side while while it partiently grows, think of the energy and inspiration it will bring you. After all, it’s your life! And it’s your dream. You’ve simply got to follow what you truly want for yourself, and that’s the bottom line. This is “slow fashion” or “ethical fashion” in many ways, and creates less waste. One thing you can do if you can’t draw clothing is put your own created or curated/ purchased art, images, print designs, or messages on to clothing (and other merchandise / stationery/ home decor) like I do on a website like Contrado, Redbubble (where I create mine), Society 6, and Zazzle, Spring, and more! I love that my Redbubble designs are printed only when ordered, so there is no waste, no inventory, no minimum order.You either find a way to build a skill you don’t have, find someone who has it, or you find ANOTHER way to achieve what you want to achieve! Innovation, invention, ideas, creativity, serving your wearers… use your imagination- this is the essence of what fuels a great design brand that people want to be a part of.Focus on what you know you DO have to offer, what you DO have to share, and contribute, and BUILD FROM THERE. Don’t make what you don’t have or “can’t” have become your focus. There’s a different path for every fashion designer Get oriented, work with a coach, who can help you clarify your objectives and path.You can collect clothing to use as samples to have reworked with your own fabrics and production and size specifications, creating original pieces based on curated, edited, researched pieces.It’s easy to draw clothing flat, you’d be amazed!! That’s what my Craftsy class is all about and flat sketching and specs is a major way that designers communicate and develop designs in the industry!.

You can surround yourself with the people who see your dream as clearly as you do and build the vision together, learning as you go.

(HINT: understanding how clothes work and familiarity with fabrics helps you do this efficiently.

You can JUST START MAKING, or hiring help to MAKE YOUR DESIGNS COME TO LIFE and chicken -scratch your ideas out any way they come, just so you can remember them.

You can go to a fashion school or take some courses and find out that the whole reason why you love fashion is because YOU ARE AN ARTIST WHO HAD NO SKILLS OR INFORMATION before… and then just LEARN Fashion Sketching/ Fashion Design/ Patternmaking/ Draping? Model Drawing/ Sewing.

Still, what IF you can’t draw and want to design? Here are some ways this scenario can play out. BUT hey- d id you ever realize how sewing is drawing? Choosing fabrics, garments and shapes and putting them together is a form of drawing ? Making choices and decisions and bringing things together to bring form to your vision is also a form of drawing? I love that the word DRAW means to PULL FORTH–FROM WITHIN. So why do you feel so sure and so drawn that your desire has a reason for existing?

You have dreams of being a unique fashion designer with vision, but you can’t even draw a star or a flower without deep pangs of insecurity.

It sounds like your worst nightmare, perhaps. Reminder>(2 more VIDEOS FURTHER DOWN THIS PAGE scroll down to view!!)
