/)What is a Fashion Designer?

Fashion designers hold a special place in our world. Their talent and vision play
a big role in how people look, and also contribute to the cultural and social
environment. They love to study fashiontrends, sketch designs, select materials,
and have a part in all the production aspects of their designs. They contribute to
the creation of millions, if not billions of pieces of clothing and accessories
purchased by consumers on a yearly basis.
Fashion designers promote themselves with the help of marketing and
advertising. Some designers market their fashions through runway shows, as well
as through their own retail stores. Some also lend their name to other licensed
products in order to expand their brand identity. In fact, many celebrity fashion
designers actually do very little designing of the collections that bear their name.
Fashion designers create women's, men's and children's apparel. This might
include sportswear, maternity wear, outerwear, underwear, formalwear, eyewear
and footwear. There are also accessory designers who design belts, scarves, hats,
handbags and hosiery. A fashion designer usually has full control of a fashion
show, often picking the models, determining the price of each garment, and
arranging how the garments will be presented. Most designers have assistants to
helpwith all the many small details, but overall, the designer retains full control.

Fashion design is a creative and hands-on career requiring an ability to

constantly create and transform ideas based on current trends. This needs to be
balanced with the constraints of budgetsand demands of the production phase.
Fashion designers need to be able to meet client deadlines and follow client
briefs. They also need to have excellent communication skills and the ability to
network.
