What's it like being a Fashion Designer

One of the traits that draws a number of people to fashion careers is the desire to be creative. Creativity is extremely important in the industry because the goal of the entire fashion design process is not to copy current designs, but rather to create new designs based on current trends. You have to be creative in order to come up with new ideas on a regular basis.

However, being a fashion designer is not always just fun and games, you have to live under the pressure of constant due dates, putting fashion shows in order, being creative and coming up with NEW trends, not ones that have already been done. it can be stressful and it is under a very competitive work area.Even when it comes to salary in the fashion industry it can be tough, on average, a canadian fashion desinger makes about 40'000 $ a year, that is if you are not a famous fashion designer such as Calvin Klien, in which case you could make millions.
