Fashion designers create original clothing, accessories, and footwear. They sketch designs, select fabrics and patterns, and give instructions on how to make the products they design. Duties of Fashion Designers Fashion designers typically do the following: Study fashion trends and anticipate designs that will appeal to consumers Decide on a theme for a collection Use computer-aided design (CAD) programs to create designs Visit manufacturers or trade shows to get samples of fabric Select fabrics, embellishments, colors, or a style for each garment or accessory Work with other designers or team members to create prototype designs Present design ideas to the creative director or showcase them in fashion or trade shows Market designs to clothing retailers or directly to consumers Oversee the final production of their designs Larger apparel companies typically employ a team of designers headed by a creative director. Some fashion designers specialize in clothing, footwear, or accessory design; others create designs in all three fashion categories. For some fashion designers, the first step in creating a new design is researching current fashion and making predictions about future trends using trend reports published by fashion industry trade groups. Other fashion designers create collections from inspirations they get from their regular surroundings, from the cultures they have experienced and places they have visited, or from various art media that inspire them. After they have an initial idea, fashion designers try out various fabrics and produce a prototype, often with less expensive material than will be used in the final product. They work with models to see how the design will look and adjust the designs as needed. Although most designers first sketch their designs by hand, many now also sketch their ideas digitally with computer-aided design (CAD) programs. CAD allows designers to see their work on virtual models. They can try out different colors, designs, and shapes while making adjustments more easily than they can when working with real fabric on real people. Designers produce samples with the actual materials that will be used in manufacturing. Samples that get good responses from fashion editors or trade and fashion shows are then manufactured and sold to consumers.

Hi, Fashion designing is not what people generally think about it. It's not only about weird clothes and definitely not glamorous. The runway garments are not what everyone can wear, they are more like a promotion for designers. Fashion is a definition of one's personal style and taste. It brings out the inner feelings of you in a very fancy way. Whenever you see a garment on-ramp, you see the hard work of many people (its designer, embroider, cutting master, pattern master, tailor, finishing guy, cleaning guy, quality check team and many more) which they were working upon from last 2-3 months. Fashion design in itself is a vast field. I am writing down the list of thing which fashion designing includes: constructing garments, surface ornamentation (embroidery), styling, graphics in terms of digital printing, market survey, textiles, illustration, fashion forecasting, merchandising and buying. I hope this will help you to understand fashion design.

A logical, sequential hands-on experience enables students to conceptualize design, make patterns, drape and construct garments of impeccable quality. The course incorporates traditional rural craftwork by working with indigenous rural artisans via the cluster programme. Students gain valuable insight into the broad spectrum that Indian fashion encompasses through internships at leading fashion houses/ manufacturing units to improve knowledge and overcome the practical challenges faced. This versatility is evident in the final year through the graduating fashion collections, conceptualized and constructed by the students at the design collection showcase.
