Fashion Designers either design haute couture or ready-to-wear clothing. A Fashion Designer designs and assists with the production of clothing, shoes, and accessories, identifies trends, and selects styles, fabrics, colors, prints, and trims for a collection. Designers conduct fittings and adjustments on prototypes of their designs, and the end product is then marketed to clothing retailers.
They attend trade shows or visit manufacturers to select fabrics and trims. Fashion designers study trends and sketch the initial clothing or accessory design.
