what are job duties of a Fashion designer?
hello! i have many questions about Fashion Designers. sorry…
what exactly does a “typical” Fashion Designer do at work? what’s a typical work day like?
are the tasks pretty much same whether they work in-house or freelance?
is it difficult to become a fashion designer even at a small company? is school education a requirement?
also what kind of utensils do they use for drawings? do they usually use the computer nowadays?
how “detailed” do the drawings have to be? when i saw some sample designs in certain DVD movie extras, they looked kind of rough. Is that all they need to see before start making the actual clothing?
Freelance and working in house are very different. If you work in house you are restricted to designing what the head business people want. Freelance means that you work for yourself, either in custom design, designing for a one time customer, (Like when I did the uniforms for a bistro) or for your own line.
It’s very difficult to make it as a fashion designer. There are far more designers than jobs, so it takes a lot of ambition to get ahead. You also can’t be discouraged by small set backs. If you want to become an In house designer for a big name, then school is a must. For a freelancer, you can educate yourself, but it takes a long time. As a freelancer I sometimes need to do everything from drawing the first idea, to making the pattern to sewing.
for drawing I use the usual suspects, pencil, paper, prismacolour pencils, gouache paints. I’ve tried computer drawing and drafting, but I personally don’t like it. You still need to know how to do it the old fashioned way before you can get a computer to do it for you. I don’t know any good Computer Fashion Design computer program that works as well as pencil and paper.
The details of the drawing are wholly dependent on each artist. The drawing of a design sketch is merely a small part of the design process. There’s working out the garment construction, the pattern pieces, colour selection of fabrics, etc. The drawing itself might not be detailed, but be assured there are plenty of more highly detailed technical drawing somewhere. You need to know how the clothing is made first before anyone else will make it for you. That’s a huge part of design school, almost all fashion designers know how to sew whatever they design.
