The fashion world is made up of hundreds of different jobs
-- including designers, buyers, illustrators, pattern makers, models,
seamstresses, consultants, journalists, and many more. Here we'll take a brief
look at a few career options to give you a glimpse of the breadth and variety
of jobs available in the fashion industry.
In a
nutshell, fashion designers create clothing and accessory designs, but their
jobs are far more involved than merely sketching some new clothes. Among other
tasks, designers draw and cut patterns to make sample garments, select fabric
and trimmings, fit and modify the finished garment and, of course, keep
up-to-date with the latest fashion trends. Fashion designers, to their job
properly, really need a firm background in both the creative and business sides
of the fashion industry. They need to know the design techniques, principles,
tools and instruments involved in the production and use of precision technical
plans, blueprints, drawings, and models. But they also need to analyse needs
and product requirements, visit textile manufacturers to evaluate fabrics, and
handle the arrangements for showings for buyers and the press
Fashion
buyers are typically responsible for all the purchasing for a company, or
particular department of a company, within a certain budget. Buyers develop the
fashion themes and items for the season, search for the garments (sometimes
traveling to do so) that best fit that theme, maintain contacts with suppliers
and negotiate prices, and are sometimes even responsible for advertising and
product placement in the store. To be successful, buyers must have both a sense
of what is fashionable and an understanding of business, such as the target
market, consumer trends, accounting and budget -- only then can they forecast
trends and translate them into a profitable business plan for a specific
company.
Pattern
makers work closely with fashion designers to create master patterns for the
desired design. Pattern makers translate the designer's sketches into actual
patterns that will be used for production, so it's important that the pattern
maker has good visualization skills and experience with fabric and body construction.
The pattern maker must also ensure that design concepts are correctly
interpreted and all production capabilities are considered
