Fashion Artist

I have not a clue what I wore to my first interview. I do remember wearing an Evelyn de Jonge dress to one interview though.

Designers stay current by reading magazines, browsing the internet, attending fashion shows, and studying technical manuals. They study the history of fashion to better understand its development and current tendencies.

Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men's, women's, and children's fashions for the mass market. Designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand such as Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren are likely to be designed by a team of individual designers under the direction of a designer director.

Fashion designers often set up their own companies. A lot of designers find this more satisfying than working for someone else, as their designs are sold under their own label.

Footwear has been quite amazing. There have been different forms of shoes, different shapes, different colors, and many other changes. Shoes used to be used only for the protection and comfort of your feet. Eventually, most shoes became part of fashion and changed from protection to style. That's a big change! People would buy all kinds of different shoes based on the color or the shape and showing them off.

I want women to feel confident when they are wearing my clothing. I think the most important thing, over feeling sexy or pretty, is that clothes should give you confidence.

I was never scared.

In-house designers are employed full-time by one fashion company. Their designs are the property of that company, and cannot be sold to anyone else.

Freelance designers works for themselves. They sell their work to fashion houses, direct to shops, or to clothing manufacturers. The garments bear the buyer's label.

Fashion is very unique. Some might say a dress is ugly, when another could say it is beautiful. This is what is known as cultural fashion. Different people like different things. Different shoes, different clothes, and different leg wear. It depends on who you are and what your opinions are.

Fashion industry interview, you may be asked what your career goals are. Examples of this include being asked where you see yourself in five years and where in the fashion industry you see yourself working. Be honest when describing your career goals. Don't align your goals with the goals of the company unless you truly feel that is the direction that you want to go in.

Answer this question by mentioning the reasons why you decided to pursue this career, such as your passion for the field, and experience in your childhood.

Fashion designers design clothing and accessories also for women. Some high-fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual clients. Other high-fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department stores. These designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established fashion trends.

Different designers work in different ways. Some sketch their ideas on paper, others drape fabric on a dress stand, pinning, folding and tucking it until the idea for a garment emerges. A third method is to adapt their own patterns from previous seasons (this method can give continuity to a fashion studio's output).

No time to waste.

Well I always look for a good personality fit in addition to talent. I don’t like people that talk too much or too little. When you spend a lot of time with people, personality is important.

Fashion is very important when it comes to showing who you are. You don't want someone to think you are the wrong person because they could treat you badly. In some ways fashion and style are important variables to human life.

Let's say you were a regular person in a diner, but you were wearing an outfit that made you look like a waitress. Somebody might come up to you and ask you for a soda! Be careful about what you wear.

When the designer is completely satisfied with the fit of the toile (or muslin), they show it to a professional pattern maker who then makes the finished, working version of the pattern out of card. The pattern maker's job is very precise and painstaking. The fit of the finished garment depends on their accuracy.

I think everyone wants a greater footprint and likes to be considered a lifestyle brand, expanding to all areas of your customer’s life.
