Fashion Design Vs Jewelry Design?

I would have to say clothes..Lots of people can not wear Jewelry so that would be out of the question..=)

1. Are hats part of fashion design?

well i depends, does the hat have a matching pattern or element of a garment included in the design?? if it does, than yes, but otherwise i would say no, its an accessory

2. I am a fashion design student. Is a Macbook Pro a good choice?Or should I go with another? such as?

I live on macs. I love them. I find them best for presentations, etc. I think it's the best one

3. Anyone know where i can find a sewing school in MD/DC/VA area since there is no fashion design school? ?

I wish it was not common. Seriously, I do not care how much a girl can love fashion, if they do not even bother spending the time or having the interest in the most BASIC element of fashion----CONSTRUCTION---they should hardly dream about making it in the fashion world, whether that role is huge or miniscule. You cannot design clothes without a sense of construction. It's like trying to build a sky scraper with toothpicks. Does not work. You just can not design an original piece if its not possible to actually construct it. And to the person who said "send it to China," wow, I am Chinese and a little offended. What if you drew some random piece of fabric on a figure where there was NO ACTUAL WAY to put it together? Sending it to China for them to make wo not help. If you can not create it and sew it and put it together? Then its a dead project. From another yahoo answer: "It's really easy to design un-sewable garments (and sometimes garments that cannot be built at all) if you do not understand basic sewing and textile construction." Good for you, 13 years of sewing! Whoo!.

4. will an unfashionable asian fit in a fashion design college abroad?

It does not matter if you personally do not have a good sense of fashion. It's what you bring to the table and what you can design that counts. Follow your dream. Louis was most likely unfashionable in his childhood.

5. Which institute is better for fashion design in Chandigarh- IIFD or INIFD?

It's not at all a good institute. I had done one yr certification course from inifd. They do not provide any kind of proper job placements. U will get sales representative type of job after graduating. There are no notable alumni from inifd and i had come acrosa many graduated students who are not doing any thing. U will end up doing job in local boutique which will add no value to ur portfolio

6. PATTERNMAKING IN FASHION DESIGN , assistant designer?

Patternmaking is an essential, basic, required skill for all designers. Repeat the course and try to arrange extra tutoring. Good patternmaking requires the ability to switch between 2-dimensional and 3 dimensional thinking and seeing. Some of the biggest and best designers are successful because of their ability to translate their designs into garment that fit and understand how to make flat pattern fit a 3-D body is what sets these designers apart. One example of a designer with an encyclopedic knowledge of flat pattern design is Karl Lagerfeld. Also John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Giorgio Armani, and Gianni Versace were all masters of pattern making. Even if you switch to CAD pattern systems you still need to know how to do it the right way by drafting otherwise you can not do it through the computer -it just draws the lines where you tell it to draw the lines. There's no CAD program that turns a picture of a dress into a pattern for a dress: it needs you to tell it what to do. Realistically your first jobs in fashion design will be pattern-making and sample making. An assistant designer is the one who usually does the pattern-making and refining the pattern. The assistant helps to ensure that the pattern and the resulting garment are a good fit for customers and is suitable for production -yet still fits with the lead designer's creative vision. All work as a team. In reality mastering pattern making will lead you to a far more profitable career: there's always more demand for pattern-makers that there are working pattern makers. I can charge well over 100$ an hour for making a graded pattern for production.
