What is Fashion to You?

I researched the definition of fashion design and I loved this definition: “Fashion design is the art of applying design, aesthetics, clothing construction and natural beauty to clothing and its accessories. It is influenced by cultural and social attitudes, and has varied over time and place.”

Firstly I am happy to see Fashion Design being defined as “art,” I really feel this is a fact. Sure there are garments that don’t take too much to design like basics: khakis, button down basic shirts etc. These are definitely a part of the fashion business however, they do not necessarily take a deep mental dive to create. In my opinion true fashion design is all about a beginning and an end. Starting with an idea, developing it and bringing that idea to life. I truly feel there is a starting point, steps throughout which lead to an amazing artistic result.
