What fashion design study really involves

Fashion design is the craft of turning an idea for clothing or accessories into something people can wear. Typical programmes teach you to sketch designs, choose and test fabrics, build patterns, and construct garments by hand and machine. They also cover the history of fashion, current trends, and the business skills needed to sell clothes, such as pricing, branding, and retail. Most courses end with a final collection that shows off your skills.
