Fashion Designers

Nature of the Work

Fashion designers help create the billions of dresses, suits, shoes, and other clothing and accessories purchased every year by consumers. Designers study fashion trends, sketch designs of clothing and accessories, select colors and fabrics, and oversee the final production of their designs. Clothing designers create and help produce men's, women's, and children's apparel, including casual wear, suits, sportswear, formalwear, outerwear, maternity, and intimate apparel. Footwear designers help create and produce different styles of shoes and boots. Accessory designers help create and produce items such as handbags, belts, scarves, hats, hosiery, and eyewear, which add the finishing touches to an outfit. (The work of jewelers and precious stone and metal workers is described elsewhere in the Handbook.) Some fashion designers specialize in clothing, footwear, or accessory design, but others create designs in all three fashion categories.

The design process from initial design concept to final production takes between 18 and 24 months. The first step in creating a design is researching current fashion and making predictions of future trends. Some designers conduct their own research, while others rely on trend reports published by fashion industry trade groups. Trend reports indicate what styles, colors, and fabrics will be popular for a particular season in the future. Textile manufacturers use these trend reports to begin designing fabrics and patterns while fashion designers begin to sketch preliminary designs. Designers then visit manufacturers or trade shows to procure samples of fabrics and decide which fabrics to use with which designs.

Once designs and fabrics are chosen, a prototype of the article using cheaper materials is created and then tried on a model to see what adjustments to the design need to be made. This also helps designers to narrow their choices of designs to offer for sale. After the final adjustments and selections have been made, samples of the article using the actual materials are sewn and then marketed to clothing retailers. Many designs are shown at fashion and trade shows a few times a year. Retailers at the shows place orders for certain items, which are then manufactured and distributed to stores

The Whitney Museum of American Art took place in New York like every year. Versace sponsored the 2008 edition. The famous maison has always been linked to the world of art since its founder Gianni who was passionate of modern art and collector of works from artists like Andy Warhol, Gustav Klimt and Alexander Calder.

The passion for art seems to be a common feeling for the Versace family, up to now with Donatella who is deeply concerned about it. The 2008/09 fall winter woman collection is a real tribute to Art, the result of the collaboration between the designer and Tim Roeloff who re invented the medusa (ndr: the icon of the Versace maison) print through his art.

Donatella Versace’ s new project focused on the sponsoring of the annual gala and of the Studio Party to support the art and the Whitney Museum. The guests of the event were all wearing Versace creations which turned the night into an ideal fashion show for the maison.

Christina Ricci picked a 2008 fall winter Atelier Versace dress; Juliette Lewis went for gorgeous Versace platform combined with a bustier dress, and Helena Christensen wore a one shoulder dress from the2008/09 Versace fall winter collection.
