FASHION DESIGN

Fashion design is the art of application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion design is influenced by cultural and social attitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories such as bracelets and necklaces.

 

Because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market, designers must at times anticipate changes to consumer tastes. Designers conduct research on fashion trends and interpret them for their audience. This is the essence of a designer’s role.

Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn, they have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and a wide range of colors, patterns and styles to choose from.

 

Though most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions such as evening wear or party dresses.

Some clothes are made specifically for an individual, as in the case of haute couture or bespoke tailoring. Today, most clothing is designed for the mass market, especially casual and every-day wear are called ready to wear.

 

Nairobi Tailoring Fashion & Design School polishes the students’ skills related with design sense and conceptualization.
In addition, the course also gives the students a deep understanding of current market trends and potential strategies to sail through it.

 

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
A fashion designer conceives garment combinations of line, proportion, colour, and texture.

A technical designer works with the design team to ensure correct garment construction, appropriate fabric choices and a good fit.

A pattern maker (or pattern cutter) drafts the shapes and sizes of a garment's pieces.

A tailor makes custom designed garments made to the client's measure; especially suits (coat and trousers, jacket and skirt, et cetera).

A textile designer designs fabric weaves and prints for clothes and furnishings.

A stylist co-ordinates the clothes, jewellery, and accessories used in fashion photography and catwalk presentations. A stylist may also work with an individual client to design a coordinated wardrobe of garments.

A fashion buyer selects and buys the mix of clothing available in retail shops, department stores, and chain stores.

A seamstress sews ready-to-wear or mass-produced clothing by hand or with a sewing machine, either in a garment shop or as a sewing machine operator in a factory. She (or he) may not have the skills to make (design and cut) the garments, or to fit them on a model.

A teacher of fashion design teaches the art and craft of fashion design in art or fashion school.

A custom clothier makes custom-made garments to order, for a given customer.

A dressmaker specializes in custom-made women's clothes: day, cocktail, and evening dresses, business clothes and suits, sports clothes, and lingerie.

An illustrator draws and paints clothing designs for commercial use.

A fashion forecaster predicts what colours, styles and shapes will be popular ("on-trend") before the garments are on sale in stores.

A model wears and displays clothes at fashion shows and in photographs.

A fashion journalist writes fashion articles describing the garments presented or fashion trends, for magazines or newspapers.

An alterations specialist (alterationist) adjusts the fit of completed garments, usually ready-to-wear, and sometimes re-styles them.

An Image Consultant, wardrobe consultant or fashion advisor recommends styles and colours that are flattering to the client.
