Fashion Designer

Fashion designers create original clothing, accessories, and footwear by sketching designs, selecting fabrics and patterns, and overseeing the production of their creations. In the UK, this career often involves working for established brands, design houses, or as an independent designer. Fashion designers must keep up with current trends, forecast future styles, and often present their work at fashion shows or to clients. The role can be highly competitive, requiring a mix of creativity, technical skills, and business sense. Many designers specialise in areas such as womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, or sportswear, and may also work closely with manufacturers and retailers to bring their designs to market.
