How can I become a fashion designer? What kind of starting salary can I expect?

To become a Fashion Designer, it is important you choose a good course in Fashion Designing as your starting point. Many institutes in India offer Fashion Design programmes like NIFT, IIAD, Pearl Academy etc. Starting salaries can vary depending upon which industry sector you choose to work in. You could go into the corporate sector by joining industries like Madurai Garments (Aditya Birla Group), Levis, Zara etc. Or you could choose to work for a renowned Design Studio of any Designer like Tarun Tahiliani, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Ritu Kumar etc. The corporate sector starts with a better package but then the experienced gained by working under a known Designer is also a compensation that cannot be measured in terms of salary alone. You can talk to some fresh graduates to get a better picture. Eventually it depends on you as to what you make of your career. You could even be an entrepreneur and start your own venture, where the money is no consideration at all.
