What is it like to be a Fashion Designer ?

• Behind the veil of glitz and glamour that usually
  surrounds the profession, there is a lot of hard
  work that goes into perfecting a garment, styling
  a celebrity, helping a fashion house make the
  right buying decisions or even forecasting trends
  for the upcoming season. Fashion designers need
  to be skilled in sewing, pattern-making, draping,
  silhouettes and garment construction. An
  understanding of concepts like material culture
  and fabric science will also aid in designing
  garments and clothing lines.
• A typical fashion designers profile includes-
• Conceptualising a clothing line and sketching the
  ideas by hand and/or digitally
• Creating mood boards, shape boards and trend
  boards
• Coordinating with fabric manufacturers and other
  vendors for sourcing the material
• Studying the fashion design trends and
  understanding consumer needs
• Working in tandem with other creative
  professionals and ensuring timely completion of
  the project
