When we think of fashion designers, we often imagine world famous designers working in Milan or Paris. Designers such as Ralph Lauren or Gianni Versace come to mind. However, there are plenty of people who are not famous who earn a good living as a fashion designer. While a few people can afford to purchase designer clothing, most people gravitate towards clothing that is manufactured in factories and sold to department or discount stores. That clothing must be designed, as well. For each article of clothing in a store there is a responsible clothing designer. There are thousands of possibilities for someone with a flair for fashion to make a living in the fashion design industry.

Art degrees in fashion vary. In addition to fashion design, many people with a flair for fashion choose to go into fashion marketing or fashion management. There are art degrees available for both fashion and retail management. An art degree in fashion can bring with it many different employment opportunities.

A fashion designer is the person who creates the type of clothing that we wear. A fashion designer should have a good eye for fabric as well as color and clothing design. They should have a thorough knowledge of sewing and how clothing is put together on a sewing machine. Most people begin creating fashions at a young age. Either they create clothing for dolls or for themselves and friends. A career in fashion design combines a creative artistic streak with the love of fashion. It can be one of the most lucrative pursuits in the art world. In most cases, however, it has the ability to earn someone a good living while giving them the opportunity to create fashions that everyday people will enjoy wearing.
