Fashion Occupations
Designers are people with a desire to create. They combine
practical knowledge with artistic ability to turn abstract ideas
into formal designs for the merchandise we buy, the clothes we wear,
the Web sites we use, the publications we read, and the living and
office space we inhabit. Designers usually specialize in a
particular area of design, such as automobiles, industrial or
medical equipment, home appliances, clothing and textiles, floral
arrangements, publications, Web sites, logos, signage, movie or TV
credits, interiors of homes or office buildings, merchandise
displays, or movie, television, and theater sets.
The first step in developing a new design or altering an existing
one is to determine the needs of the client, the ultimate function
for which the design is intended, and its appeal to customers or
users. When creating a design, designers often begin by researching
the desired design characteristics, such as size, shape, weight,
color, materials used, cost, ease of use, fit, and safety.
Designers then prepare sketches or diagrams—by hand or with the
aid of a computer—to illustrate the vision for the design. After
consulting with the client, a creative director, or a product
development team, designers create detailed designs, using drawings,
a structural model, computer simulations, or a full-scale prototype.
Many designers use computer-aided design (CAD) tools to create and
better visualize the final product. Computer models allow ease and
flexibility in exploring a greater number of design alternatives,
thus reducing design costs and cutting the time it takes to deliver
a product to market. Industrial designers use computer-aided
industrial design (CAID) tools to create designs and
machine-readable instructions that communicate with automated
production tools.
Designers sometimes supervise assistants who carry out their
creations. Designers who run their own businesses also may devote a
considerable amount of time to developing new business contacts,
examining equipment and space needs, and performing administrative
tasks, such as reviewing catalogues and ordering samples. The need
for up-to-date computer and communications equipment is an ongoing
consideration for many designers, especially those in industrial and
graphic design.
Design encompasses a number of different fields. Many designers
specialize in a particular area of design, whereas others work in
more than one area.
Commercial and industrial designers develop countless
manufactured products, including airplanes; cars; children’s toys;
computer equipment; furniture; home appliances; and medical, office,
and recreational equipment. They combine artistic talent with
research on the use of a product, on customer needs, and on
marketing, materials, and production methods to create the most
functional and appealing design that will be competitive with others
in the marketplace. Industrial designers typically concentrate in a
subspecialty such as kitchen appliances, auto interiors, or
plastic-molding machinery.
Fashion designers design clothing and accessories. Some
high-fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual
clients. Other high-fashion designers cater to specialty stores or
high-fashion department stores. These designers create original
garments, as well as clothing that follows established fashion
trends. Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel
manufacturers, creating designs of men’s, women’s, and children’s
fashions for the mass market.
