Making wearable art
Fashion design is the art and practice of creating clothing, accessories, and footwear—conceiving garments from initial sketch through finished product.
The field spans haute couture, ready-to-wear, and mass-market production.
A fashion designer develops concepts, selects fabrics, and oversees construction: She studied fashion design in Milan.
The discipline combines aesthetics, technical skill, and awareness of cultural trends.
