An Introduction to<br />
Fashion courses <strong>and</strong> careers<br />
Imagine seeing your original work being worn by people you pass on the<br />
street <strong>and</strong> in stores. Imagine getting paid to dress people <strong>and</strong> make them<br />
feel good about themselves. Fashion designers don’t imagine – they just<br />
do. A fashion designer is a creative yet still technical person who designs<br />
clothing <strong>and</strong> apparel within a specific theme for a particular purpose or<br />
market.<br />
Fashion design is a career for the imaginative <strong>and</strong> creative <strong>and</strong> distinctive.<br />
There are many fashion design career pathways to choose from including<br />
creating new fashion through your own label or working with a well known<br />
design house. Other career options include creative, technical or textile<br />
designer or sketcher, cutter or patternmaker. A qualification in fashion<br />
design will give you choice across many industries within studio, design,<br />
manufacturing, retail <strong>and</strong> tailoring.<br />
