About fashion
designers
Fashion designers work
in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories such as bracelets and
necklaces. Because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market,
designers must at times anticipate changes to consumer tastes.
Designers conduct
research on fashion trends and interpret them for their audience. Their
specific designs are used by manufacturers. This is the essence of a designer's
role; however, there is variation within this that is determined by the buying
and merchandising approach, and product quality; for example, budget retailers
will use inexpensive fabrics to interpret trends, but high-end retailers will
ensure that the best available fabrics are used. [1]
Fashion designers
attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically
pleasing. They consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in
which it will be worn, and they work within a wide range of materials, colors,
patterns and styles. Though most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a
narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for
special occasions such as evening wear or party dresses.
Some clothes are made specifically for an individual, as in the case of haute couture or bespoke tailoring. Today, most clothing is designed for the mass market, especially casual and every-day wear are called ready to wear.
