As the saying goes, ‘Clothes make a gentleman’ (without being gender biased, lets add on ‘and a gentlewoman to it’!), over the years people have become conscious about their looks and one’s outfit is what plays a major role in it (with the right attitude, that is always needed).

Obvious as it seems, fashion designers are sought after greatly by the wealthy and the famous, as they are in the public attention and media focus constantly. A young fashion designer is a very nice term to be referred to but it isn’t as easy as one-two-three to be there.

Fashion designing can be defined as a practical art that involves design of fashion wear, garments, and clothes in general along with other lifestyle accessories.

A good fashion designer is paid heftily and what better than to be getting paid high when young. A good fashion designer needs oodles of talent and creativity coupled with some solid education and opportunities.

Education regarding fashion designing along with talent can make a young designer earn a fortune alongside fame and a crowd of admirers.
Many wannabe young fashion designers assume fashion designing to be a not-so-difficult profession to be in and a lot more young fashion designers neglect the need of a formal education in fashion designing. A fashion institute teaches a young fashion designer (aspirant) the basics of fashion- the clothing, the pattern making, sewing and so on.

Although, this isn’t a must, it enhances a young fashion designer’s knowledge on fashion which can be helpful in the future. It boosts the morale of a designer and gets rid of the feeling of insecurity which many young fashion designers are bugged down with.

Today, young fashion designers are many in numbers and have a lot of opportunities in the world of fashion. New innovative designs, graphics and outfits come up every season. T-shirts, jeans, trousers, shirts, traditional wears, ethnic wears etc from around the world are experimented with to form unique attires unknown to the fashion world before.

Modern fashion designing has two categories, namely ‘haute couture’ and ‘ready to wear’. While ‘haute couture’ refers to the custom made and sewn outfits that is usually done for private clients, ‘ready to wear’ refers to the range of collections which aren’t custom made and which come in standard sizes and fitting.

A young fashion designer needs to have something which makes him/her stand out in the crowd. A young fashion designer can be called a pro, if he/she really re-defines fashion!!!

After the vintage style and oldies taken over the trend and catwalks of the world, looks like an old woman style is ready to look young again.

The word ‘ancient’ was turned into ‘vintage’ and the whole world affected by this trend.

What is distinctive of a grandmother? Glasses, it helps the already blurred vision. You will need oldies-style glasses to look like grandma; one with width and thick-rimmed, black or brown. Furthermore, you will need a tote bag. Tote bag with floral or other vintage motif and soft colors, not too flashy style, is well suited to accompany your style.

It’s time to play with the skirt that is suitable for this style. You can choose a classic pencil skirt or A-line skirt with natural colors. All these high-waist skirt are seldom subordinate to the elderly who designed hipster. Complete with beautiful small belt to give the chic impression. Like the skirt, select a blouse with soft colors, simple design and high cut collar. Say good bye to the deep V-neck collar and piece of other modifications.

You can be stylish with granny chic if you are creative in mix and match.

Whether your daughter is having a sleepover or you are trying to come up with fashion games for girls at school, there are lots of great ideas you can try.

One idea for girl fashion games is to play Barbie fashion games. These games are lots of fun for younger girls who enjoy playing with Barbies still. You could get a few pieces of different colored material, have the girls sketch out, and design their own clothing for the Barbie. If they are very young, make sure you are the one using the scissors and taking care of the dangerous parts of the game. No child should have scissors and that is just an accident waiting to happen.

Another Barbie fashion game is to dress each doll in a top or bottom and then have each child choose what piece of clothing and which accessories they think would work best with that look. It forces them to think quickly and come up with stylish ideas on the spot. This is the perfect game for any young girls who are thinking of working towards a career in the world of fashion.

For older girls, try playing games with some of their favorite celebrities. Buy a couple fashion or style magazines and have the girls look through them and guess – without peeking at the text – who is wearing what. They should be able to tell which designer’s have designed the different outfits and best of all this will help them study up on the different designers and style trends. You keep things fun by having modern magazines with their favorite celebs.
