Varun Sardana, an alumnus of NIFT, Delhi, has had two successful shows at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week under his belt. His debut collection garnered rave reviews from critics and the designer managed to bag the Best Debut Collection by the Fashion Design Council of India. Varun has been designing from past three years, here; he reveals some harsh realities of the Indian fashion industry.

Why fashion as profession? Since childhood I have always seen myself as a creative person. We all have a creative person within us; it’s only a matter of being aware of it. Since my young days, I have seen my grandma doing her stitching, so fabrics and fibres were always around me. Somewhere, all this inspired me and in addition to it, I always had this knack within me…. Design philosophy… I make it a point that my design philosophy evolve from one season to another. I borrow my inspiration from anywhere, but always keep in mind that the approach has to be inherent. I like to design for women who are modern, contemporary and believe in experimenting and breaking the norms or challenging themselves but without trying to shock the world. Your first break…I launched my label in 2004 and started of with my debut show at Wills India Fashion Week which gained me critical appreciation. But then for the Spring-Summer 2009 collection, I joined hands with Delhi Fashion Week followed by a shift to WLIFW in A-W 2009. Why then shifted back to WLIFW? I don’t want to comment on that…It was my personal choice and there are some ideologies which I follow and believe in, so there is no solid answer or reason behind it.  Read more...

Rumors are circling that jobs in the real estate market aren’t stable, but the opposite is actually true. Real estate appraisers and assessors will always be needed, because their place in the real estate market makes them irreplaceable. Appraisers estimate the value of property for a variety of purposes: to assess property tax, to confirm adequate collateral for mortgages, to confirm or help set a good sales price, to settle an estate, or to aid in a divorce settlement. This is something even the weakest real estate market cannot do without.

Not only is the employment of appraisers secure, but according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the need for appraisers and assessors of real estate is expected to grow at an electric rate. Job opportunities will be more than favorable for appraisers who meet licensing qualifications and have the right experience.

Employment of appraisers and assessors of real estate is expected to grow by 17 percent over the 2006-16 decade, which is faster than the average for all other occupations. More appraisers will be hired to help with litigation claims, probate cases, foreclosures, business valuations, and divorce settlements. With this additional growth in real estate activity, the employment of appraisers will steadily grow. Employment of assessors will also increase with the amounts of real property to be assessed in coming years. Independent fee appraisers will see the strongest growth because banks and other financial institutions are increasingly contracting work out to make loan appraisals on a case-by-case basis.  Read more...
