I know this is stating the obvious and the reason why you would want to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in fashion design: to become a fashion designer. You were so inspired by the work of Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney or even the legendary Coco Chanel that you just want to follow their footsteps and build a memorable name in the fashion industry.
However, it’s time you know more details about the typical work of a fashion designer. Normally, you would specialise in one area of fashion design such as women clothing, sportswear or even creating shoes or accessories.
In the beginning (that is before you own a fashion house with your name, label, logo and everything), you will work for a fashion brand and will be involved in designing sketches and make textile patterns based on a given theme. Additionally, you’ll be responsible for visiting manufacturers, selecting the right fabrics, colours for each clothing piece and accessory.
Apart from working for a big fashion name, you can also find jobs in costume design for theatre, film or television.
After years of experience, you can become a true fashion designer and bring your ideas and designs to life. You won’t have to do sketches and patterns any longer (unless you want to); you’ll just oversee and manage the design, production and manufacturing of fashion items and all other departments of the company.
