Does anyone know a way to become a fashion designer....?

Question

without paying lots of money??

My dream job is to be a fashion designer,

but my family doesntt have much money, and all my friends and fammily think my designs would sell.

Also, i dont want to be a runway fashion designer, i want to design clothes that stores will sell.

Answer 1

make/design something--a dress, skirt, blouse, whatever, then take it to a store that might sell what you've made, and talk to the store buyer, you never know...and maybe a smaller store would be more apt to buy your designed items moreso than a bigger store like macy's. Or draw out your designs and go to a bigger store. good luck!

Answer 2

The best way is to get a job working for a designer, manufacturer, or vertical retailer. Also being educated, having a degree in design is a plus and be willing to work your way up. Other than maybe a mom & pop boutique stores will not just buy a design. It requires a lot more business and work than that. You may want to check out this blog;
