By Ashley Marx

In 1858 Charles Frederick Worth decided to open the couture house, which is one of the true types of businesses of this kind in Paris. This is where fashion design is normally taken. Many textile industries led the trends as opposed to the tailors and dressmakers who are responsible for many of the innovations. Many designers take their inspiration from other collections that designers have created, by doing this they have established new trends, new styles, new fabrics and this led to the industries success.

Many designers have established a brand reputation that allows them to set the fashion trends. A collection of clothing is where a designer takes similar types of clothing and puts them all together for the season; the clothing is a mix of high end and mass market ready. When preparing for mass market, the designer takes the trendy clothing and makes it suitable for the everyday person.

Fashion refers to style in a specific period of time; basically this is different types of costume or clothing design. Fashion week is very important for designers; they depend on this week to display their clothing designs. Designer from all over the world come to each city for fashion week to show their new designs to audiences.

The fashion industry is influenced by fashion companies creating collections of clothing. The styles of clothing changes from one generation to another and when looking back in time you can see this in the social classes. As time goes by culture and society play an important role in fashion designs. When fashion designers manufacture clothing they want the clothing to fit well and to look good.

Designers look at the world and study the different trends in fashion, they use a sketch pad to design clothes, they need to select fabrics and color and the designer always oversees the final production of their design. They visit manufactures and different trade shows, they do this to get samples and decide what type of fabrics to use with their designs.

Smaller companies employ most of the fashion designers today, since they work in small company they will oversee the production, they will need to sew and do some pattern making. Traveling is a must for designers, they need to travel to suppliers and manufactures to help with the decision making and to oversee the entire process.

These designers have a keen eye for color, detail and they have a sense of proportion and know how to balance all of this. One of the most important functions is the designer needs to give very specific instructions to the manufacturer on how the garment needs to be constructed. If all goes well the production of their garments goes smoothly and is produces and delivered to stores.
