Fashion designers

by Emma Phothisanh

High school diploma is needed for fashion designing.

It should include courses that prepare the student for more specialized training after graduation.

Art, home economics, mathematics, and chemistry all should be included.

Education

Fashion designers create clothing for almost anything that is part of costume of men, woman, and children.

They create outer and inner garments or hats, purses, shoes, gloves, costume jewelry, scarves, or beach wear, or they may specialize in certain types of clothing such as bridal gowns or sports wear.

The largest number of fashion designers are followers rather than originators of fashion, adapting styles to meet the price requirements of customers.
