Fashion designers design and make clothes and accessories for their chosen area of design and market.
This will involve amending outfits, organising fittings and liaising with clients to decide what they want.
Fashion designers have to plan well ahead, working with buyers and forecasters to predict future trends, decide on fabrics and colours, and produce sample garments. The best designs may then be adapted for mass production.
Designers start on around £14,000 to £17,000 a year. This should rise with experience to anything from £25,000 to £55,000. As a top design director, you might earn £100,000 or more.
Deadlines, pressures and anti-social hours can intrude on your private life as you work through the night to prepare your latest creations for a fashion show. At other times, you would work normal hours- 9 to 5.
Fashion design is extremely popular and competition for places is tough. Womenswear is both the biggest segment of fashion design and the toughest to break into. Other areas, such as childrenswear and menswear, are less competitive.
