What does a fashion designer do?
Fashion designers create apparel, bags, shoes and accessories. Their work begins with sketches that show how the pieces will look. After they make illustrations, they produce patterns and select the fabrics and other materials that will go into producing the finished items. Designers also help to oversee the manufacturing process to ensure that garments and accessories reflect their visions. Shop a large collection of apparel, shoes, bags and accessories on 1stDibs.
