  What is FashionDesign? We see examples of fashion all around us, in clothes and accessories like shoes that we love to buy and wear. But who comes up with the ideas for how these things will look? A fashion designer is a person who creates the ideas and concepts of new clothing styles and accessories, often by drawing and sketching. Today, fashion designers can also use computer-aided design (CAD) technology to finalize ideas. Fashion designers create styles for items of clothing, including deciding fabrics and patterns to use. It's not an easy job. They must be aware of changes in seasonal style and have an ability to predict coming trends
