Hello Shweta !

There is no restriction for the fashion designing course regarding the stream. All streams are eligible for applying for fashion designing course. 

But if you are sure that you only want to be a fashion designer, in that case you can take arts as other streams are not of much use in this case. By taking arts you can take out time to explore your creative side and also can prepare for the entrance exams. 

All the best !

Hello Abhi.... 

Typically fashion designers  have an associations or batchelors degree in art,design,fashion merchandising or even fashion design which many universities offer as a major or concentration the BLS  recommends that fashion designers study at a post secondary institution accredited by the national association of schools ,but if fashion is your passion,this major may be custom-made for you.

Fashion design majors learn the nuts and bolts of designing and making clothes and accessories,classes cover everything from sketching and computer design to pattern making and fabric selection.

Majoring in fashion designing is different than traditional major and more like an arts major,however it is creative and spent hours in the sewing lab with your fellow students it was an rewarding experience

all the bets
