Designers: The Capodetutu of the Fashion Industry

Fashion designers are the creators of billions of clothing items throughout the world. Fashion designers are the ones who make ordinary people into stars and celebrities. They work for apparel wholesalers and manufacturers taking new styles to the runway and the mass market. Usually once or twice a year, we see people in funny, capricious, futuristic and expensive clothes at these American-European events.  Some of these fashion designers specialize in men’s ladies or children designs. Some of these designers are work for private clients or are self employed and have non-compete clauses.

Fashion is basically an art dedicated to clothing design of many cultures and social lifestyle of a particular time. Fashion designers have brought much glamour to the variety of much new fabrics and their end use to consumers in the western world.

The Fashion industry really began in the 1900’s , before that it wasn’t much of an industry.  During the early part of the 1800’s, fashion was left to seamstresses and well to do mothers. Most of these women were of French descent with little other countries involved in the Fashion industry, other than England.

One can say, designers know they are influential in the global trend setting fashion market. Most fashion designers work for apparel manufacturers sending products to world markets for mass production. Any Brand names, as JoeyJ, the only (Ahimsa silk process) designer for men and women tops. This is a non-violent method of making silk after the worm is outside of the cocoon. These semi-mass production designers are usually owned by a larger conglomerate as ShirtsGoneWild for example. These specialty outlets usually buy out designers and keep the name for quality pieces of garments.

The western world has the majority of designers, however some from other countries in the eastern bloc are bringing their ideas to the table and utilizing the bigger retailers for more market share of their brand. Prada and others are using the same idea to cut a larger piece of the fashion pie.
