Fashion Designers are either trend-setter or followers of new trends in the market. They are the most creative & enterprising individuals in the business of fashion. Fashion designers heavily rely on research findings among consumers & fashionistas in order to come up with their new line of clothing. Designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and a wide range of colors, patterns, designs and styles to choose from. Though most clothing line are for everyday wear, but few falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions such as evening wear or party dresses.

Generally fashion designers are employed by large fashion houses where they work on pay-roll, besides this they also work as Freelancers & at times opens up their own boutique to showcase their work.
