What is Fashion Design and What do Fashion
Designers do?
Working as a fashion designer can be as simple as monitoring a layout team at
a sportswear business or producing a brand under your own name. Designers
examine styles, design layouts of clothing and accessories, select matching
colours and textiles, and oversee the last manufacturing of their styles. To create
your very own brand will take a whole lot of time, dedication and challenging
work. But the rewards are certainly worth the effort.
From the very start of your profession, you’ll most likely find yourself in
supporting duties while you learn the ropes and establish your vision. These
experiences are not to be taken lightly. To be a good designer, these basics are
key. Take some time to learn about yourself, find your preferred niches and gain
experience that’ll smoothen the path towards your future fashion career.
You might be destined to
be a fashion designer if you
(1) spent the majority of
your youth making clothes
for your Barbie dolls rather
than playing with your
buddies, (2) read fashion
magazines rather than your
school books, (3) ran a
store from your basement
at age ten selling clothes.
In short, if you want to be
the next Calvin Klein or
Ralph Lauren, you need to
be completely obsessed with
fashion design.
