What should a fashion designer resume include?
Export houses, retail labels and designer studios in India look for fashion designers who can take a garment from mood board to approved sample on time and on cost. A focused resume names the category and customer, the software used, knowledge of fabrics and sourcing, collection sizes and one or two outcomes such as sell-through or sample approval rates.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Trend research and forecasting
- Pattern making and draping
- Garment construction
- Tech pack preparation
- Fit sessions and grading
From our sample resumes:
- Aditya’s internship bullet on tech packs that reduced tailoring queries shows production awareness, which studio heads rarely expect from a fresh graduate and value highly.
- Kavya reports the share of shown styles that became confirmed orders, a figure export house owners understand instantly because it ties design work to revenue.
