Fashion
Fashion designers design clothing such as coats, dresses, suits and other varieties of clothing. They prepare design sketches either by hand or on the computer. From these sketches the designs become the clothing. Designers find this job difficult but an enjoyable career. They enjoy making or designing clothes and seeing people wearing them. Many designers start out as an assistant designer to learn the basics of designing and process clothing. Then they advance to higher position as they gain more experience. In the U.S., the salary ranges from "$13,780 to more than $1 million" (Wallner, 4). The starting salaries for most of the designers are "between $21,000 and $30,000" (Schmidt, 6). Most assistant designers receive a salary of "$15,000 to $30,000 a year" (Giacobello, 16). The more customers buy their design, the more money they will earn. However, designers who have the most skills and are well known earn the most. In the fashion business, designers compete with ideas. In order to be ahead of others, they must be observant, unique, creative and self- motivated. Thus, in order to succeed as a designer, one must go through schools of education, adapt to the career, and seek opportunities to advance.
I can serve God by becoming a designer. I will make clothes that are modest but in style. I can thank God and pray everyday so I may be able to succeed in life as a designer. Also I will serve God by putting a symbol of Christ on the clothing to show the customers that I am a Christian. Making fashionable but modest clothing is how I can serve God in the fashion business. God gave me this talent, and I will use it to serve God and succeed in life. Some colleges offer a 4year program but 2 or 3- year programs are most common. Two of the best schools are Pasadena Art Center and Otis. At Pasadena Art Center, students who are enrolling must make a deposit before you begin. If you are a new student, the cost of the deposit is $200 and it is nonrefundable. The deposit holds the classes that they want to take. If you are a returning student, the cost of the deposit is $100 and it is also nonrefundable. The minimum educations in the U.S. are your "associate's or bachelor's degree." (Wallner, 4) You need a portfolio in order to be accepted in any school you attend. At the beginning, you will be assigned as an apprentice. Then after working as an apprentice you will move up to be an assistant designer. The best location for the fashion industry is in the European countries. Many popular designers are found in London, Milan, and Paris. However, another good location is found in the U.S. There are many schools, manufacturers, shows, and designers that are centered in the fashion district of New York City. There are also markets located in "Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles" (Giacobello, 17). There are several cities that specialize in certain apparel such as "Boston for bridal's wear, Denver for skiwear, and Miami for children clothing" (Wallner, 18).
