Become An Accessory Designer
Accessory Design Is The New Black
Is your closet packed full of scarves, belts and hat? Is your vanity table overflowing with jewelry, gloves, and clips for your hair? Parlay your passion for accessories into financial success by considering the up-and-coming occupation of accessory design. Accessory design is currently experiencing high growth due to popular movies like The Devil Wears Prada, and TV shows like Ugly Betty. But prepare yourself—accessory design is a highly competitive field. Since few retail companies employ accessory designers, most work independently. That means if you want to be successful, you’ll need training in fashion design and how to create your own buzz. A Bachelor’s degree in Art, Fashion Design, Fashion Merchandising or a related program will help you become more knowledgeable about both topics. The National Association of Schools of Art and Design accredits approximately 250 postsecondary institutions with programs for art and design degrees, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding the right kind of training in an area near you.
Accessory Designers design jewelry, handbags, shoes, ties, belts, hats, and gloves to coordinate with clothing fashionably. This field is hot! hot! hot! and constantly changing with fashion trends. You’ll never be bored! Designers make $29,000 to $38,000 annually, but expect that number to rise as the increase in demand for accessory designers continues. Sound good? Then research which programs can offer you the right degrees and training because with so much attention on fashion these days, you won’t want to miss the opportunity for success.
