Hello Pooja,

• Many fashion designers have a degree in fashion design or fashion marketing. In these programs, students learn about textiles and fabrics and how to use computer-aided design (CAD) technology. They also work on projects that they can add to their portfolio, which shows their designs.
• For many artists, including fashion designers, developing a portfolio, a collection of design ideas that demonstrate their styles and abilities, is essential because employers rely heavily on a designer's portfolio to decide whether to hire the person. For employers, it is an opportunity to assess talent and creativity. Students who study fashion design often have the opportunity to enter their designs into student or amateur contests, helping them develop their portfolios.

Important features of fashion designers

Artistic ability . Fashion designers sketch their original design ideas, which are later used to create prototypes. Designers must be able to show their vision of design through illustration.

Conversation skills . Fashion designers often work in teams throughout the design process and therefore need to be effective in communicating with their team members. For example, they may need to instruct the sewer on how the garment should be built.

Computer skills . Fashion designers must be able to use computer aided design (CAD) programs and be familiar with graphics editing software.

Creativity . Fashion designers work with a variety of fabrics, shapes and colors. Their ideas must be unique, functional and stylish.

Decision-making skills . Because they often work in teams, fashion designers face many ideas. They must be able to decide what ideas to include in their design.

Details . Fashion designers must have a good eye on the small differences in color and other details that make the design successful.

Here are some examples of fashion designers:

Clothing designers create and assist in the production of men's, women's and children's clothing, including casual wear, costumes, sportswear, evening wear, outerwear, maternity wear and intimate clothing.

Shoe designers create and help produce different shoe and shoe styles. As new materials, such as lightweight synthetic materials, are used for shoe soles, footwear designers produce new designs that combine comfort, shape and function.

Accessory designers design and produce items such as handbags, suitcases, belts, scarves, hats, knitwear and goggles.

Costume designers create costumes for performing arts and cinema and television. They explore the style worn at the time of the show or work with directors to choose and create the right clothes. They must also maintain a budget for a particular production suit.

• Fashion designers often gain their initial experience in the fashion industry through internships or as an assistant designer . Internships give aspiring fashion designers the opportunity to experience the design process, build knowledge about textiles and colors, and how the industry works.
• Many fashion designers work in-house for wholesalers or manufacturers who sell retailers or other retailers with clothing and accessories lines for distribution to individual stores, catalog companies, or online retailers.
• Self-employed fashion designers usually design high-quality clothing and individual clothing individually or individually. In some cases, a self-employed fashion designer may have a clothing line with his name.
• Most designers go through the trade and fashion shows several times a year to learn about the latest fashion trends. Designers also sometimes travel to other countries to meet the suppliers and manufacturers of end-product materials.
