Career - Fashion Designer

Fashion Designers will consult with clients and stakeholders to determine the objectives of the design brief and to negotiate design solutions and will illustrate concepts by producing storyboard and specification drawings. They will use computers to manipulate and develop patterns and modify designs and research and develop fabrics and accessories for production of garments. They will make patterns or work closely with patternmakers to draft patterns from sketches or specification drawings and will select fabric, colour and trim, and undertake cutting and machining of sample garments. They need to fit samples and discuss them with management, sales and manufacturing staff and contribute to costing estimates. They will finalise specification sheets with detailed sketches and trim details and approve final samples before they go into production. They will liaise with production staff during mass production of garments and participate in quality control and maintain an awareness of current global and local fashion trends and also control merchandising and retailing of garments.
