Fashion designers have brought about a storm in this glamour world with their commendably fabulous variety. Fashion designers often begin as assistant designers, pattern makers, pattern graders, or sketchers. Fashion Designers create clothes ranging from spectacular unique creations to the regular shop-bought clothes we wear every day. Fashion designers are involved in every phase of designing, showing, and producing all types of clothing, from bathing suits to evening gowns.

Clothes

Others among the best-known and most exclusive names in Italian fashion design are Valentino (known for his famous "Rosso Valentino," which means "Red Valentino"), Gianfranco Ferrè(known for his boldly-cut, brightly-colored clothes), Giorgio Armani (known for subtle, masculine style for both men and women), and Gianni Versace (known for his beautifully-cut leatherwear), and Dolce & Gabbana (known for their classic-to-modern, edgy appeal). Many of us--at least those of us who can afford it-- have clothes in our closets stamped with these names. Even though the percentage of people buying these clothes may be very small, fashion designers still wield tremendous influence on what we wear and how we wear it. In fact, though we may not realize it, the clothes we wear--even things that are not "designer" clothes or particularly elegant--were nevertheless designed by someone.

Clothes are a way that people can create an image and a persona around themselves a true form of self-expression that carries into the everyday world. Ready-to-wear clothes are a cross between haute couture and mass market. The mass market caters for a wide range of customers, producing ready-to-wear clothes in large quantities and standard sizes. The smaller and the more specific the market, the more likely a company is to get the right look and feel to their clothes. If the firm has made a name for the clothes it already produces, this helps to sell the new line.

Many professional fashion designers start off by specializing in a particular area of fashion. Most fashion designers start out by applying for place on a course on fashion design. Depending on the size of the design firm and level of experience, fashion designers may have varying levels of involvement in different aspects of design and production. In large design firms, fashion designers often are the lead designers who are responsible for creating the designs, choosing the colors and fabrics, and overseeing technical designers who turn the designs into a final product. Other high-fashion designers sell their designs in their own retail stores or cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department stores. Some fashion designers specialize in costume design for performing arts, motion picture, and television productions.

The work of costume designers is similar to other fashion designers. Regardless of their work setting, all fashion designers occasionally work long hours to meet production deadlines or prepare for fashion shows. Men and women have tried to wear new things, different things, clothes that would impress people or frighten others.
