ARTICLE: Fashion Design In-Depth

Are you dreaming of apparel design ideas way before you see them in the stores? Are you captivated by fabrics and texture and in awe of the designers in magazines? A career in fashion design may be perfect for you. Fashion designers are the creative minds behind clothing lines and accessories, often supplying the latest trends to high-fashion retailers. Fashion design often begins with sketches and illustrations and then moves to pattern pieces and fabric decisions. Whether you are interested in apparel design and watching your styles hit the runway, or marketing and fashion merchandising, it is best to take your talents to design school.

Training and Experience
Beyond bold creativity and a sense of color and style, employers seek graduates of a 2 to 4-year program, and sometimes prefer individuals who have a Master of Fine Arts. Because fashion design is a competitive field, it is important to establish your credentials and talent; this will help you move up in the field. An academic background in fashion design will also help you develop these essential fashion merchandising skills:

Knowledge of trends
Reading sales data, understanding company goals
Determining prices, product requirement

With artistic vision and passion for the quality of a well-worn piece, you can carve out a space in apparel design.
