Fashion designers have the world at their feet. Choosing between clothing, shoes or accessories design, or a combination of this, fashion designers have true freedom in their work. Ultimately, it's the individual fashion designer's style, designs and blueprints that sell with the designer's personal label! Fashion designers commonly opt to work on their own, under their own design labels, although fashion designers can also be employed by clothing and accessory houses. Fashion designers are industry leaders and if you have a super high level of creativity you could be this industry leader, spreading fashions to all corners of the world. Although haute couture comes to mind when people mention fashion design, there are plenty of job opportunities for fashion designers from children's wear to sports and active wear, including design opportunities as part of a larger design team. A fashion designer remains hands-on throughout the design process: from the initial phases of creating design visuals, to the final phases of garment production and sales.
