What Is Fashion Design?

Fashion is actually a subset of style, in a certain time and venue and in a certain context, of apparel, footwear, clothing, accessories, make-up, hairstyling, and body position. The word actually derives from French and means something stylish or fashionable. In its modern usage, the word simply means a style defined by the fashion business as what is fashionable at any given time. So what does fashion mean? And how can one know what fashion is?

For starters, it could mean just about anything. There is such a thing as high fashion. High fashion usually refers to dresses, suits, pants, skirts, tops, dresses, and even shoes. Haute couture, or traditional style, generally refers to the brand of clothing designers who create and deliver high fashion clothing collections.

In another sense, fashion is the “medallion” worn by many famous fashion designers. Just as there are many high fashion designers, there are also many low fashion designers. In other words, every designer creates a style that is considered high or low fashion. A designer who creates clothing for the high fashion market may also create clothing that would be more appropriate for a low fashion market.

There are fashion designers who specialize in one particular segment of the clothing industry. For example, there are fashion designers who focus on maternity wear. Then there are those who have created collections for children and men. Then there are others who offer their services to cater to an ever-growing clientele, including customized pieces for adults, children, teenagers, and children of all ages. And there are even fashion designers who have opened their own fashion boutique.

Of course, not all fashion designers are created equally. As a matter of fact, each one of them has his or her own unique style that is distinctly his or hers. This is because each one has his or her own unique vision. Some fashion designers work from ready-made designs; others make their fashion designs as they see them and only modify them so they can meet the specific needs of their clients.

Because of their own unique style, there are fashion designers who often attract a devoted following. When a new collection of their fashion designer clothing is released, fans line up for the first look just as they do for a new movie. And many fans have become so addicted to these fashion designers that they become willing to pay exorbitant prices to have the privilege of wearing their clothing. If you are thinking about becoming a fashion designer, take your time and be patient so that you can create an outstanding and unforgettable career that will bring you enormous wealth and fame.
