Wishma,
Your profile is solid. There are no holes in it. But it's a missed opportunity. It doesn't let us know who you are.
You don't need to write your autobiography, but what you've written is fairly generic.
What you have is focused, which is great. I would suggest you put in a sentence or two about your training and two or three sentences about previous work you've done. This gives more depth to your write-up. And you don't have to write it in a copywriter style. Every sentence does not have to be glossy. Just simple stuff ... "My love of fashion started when I was drawing as a youngster, which led to art classes at _______________ College ..." Just a few sentences with that kind of details would give you more depth.
My criteria for a great profile is -- establish your expertise immediately. Then back that up with a description of your background and work experiences. Be friendly, confident and present your expertise with as much range as you can muster. (You might mention other applications -- book coverss, posters, wedding invitations, other areas where you might find work.
So, you're almost there. My last measure is to see if the profile sets you apart from the competition. I think your level of professionalism already sets you apart ... and I have not seen very many fashion designers come through this forum, so you might be safe.
One way to sound different from the competion is to invent a specialty. "My specialty is formal evening wear ... " Just having a specialty makes you sound accomplished and experienced and, well, it makes you sound special. So, if you can conjure up a specialty that can help make you sound more impressive.
Again ... your profile without changes is solid. It's quite good and it maybe all you need.
Good luck.
