Welcome to the worlds greatest guide to Women's Designer Clothing.
Clothing designers are people like Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, Stella McCartney, Emilio Pucci, Donna Karan, Yves Saint Laurent, etc. Designers of clothing are not just creators of fashion, they' are also involved in almost all aspects of designing, producing, showing and marketing. Technically, a designer is an person that "specifies the structural properties of a design object". In the case of fashion the object being designed is in regard to dresses, pants, shirts, footwear, accessories, etc.
Clothing design is the art of applying design, aesthetics and natural beauty to apparel. Designers conduct research on fashion trends and interpret them for their audience. Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. Some clothes are made specifically for an individual, as in the case of haute couture or bespoke tailoring. Today, the majority of clothing is designed as ready to wear. Especially casual and every-day wear.
Women's designer clothing can be haute couture, ready to wear, or bespoke.
- Note: Pret-a-Porter is the same as ready to wear.
Haute couture is the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is high-end fashion that is constructed by hand from start to finish, made from high-quality, expensive, often unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable sewers - often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.
Ready-to-wear or prêt-à-porter is the term for factory-made clothing, sold in finished condition, in standardized sizes, as distinct from made to measure or bespoke clothing tailored to a particular person's frame.
Probably a good idea to also learn about made to measure clothing.
Some fashion houses and fashion designers produce mass-produced and industrially manufactured ready-to-wear lines but others offer garments that are not unique but are produced in limited numbers.
Fashion houses that produce a women's haute couture line, such as Chanel, Dior, Lacroix and Saint Laurent also produce a ready-to-wear line, which returns a greater profit because of the higher volume of garments made and the greater availability of the clothing. The construction of ready-to-wear clothing is also held to a different standard than that of haute couture due to its industrial nature. High-end ready-to-wear lines are sometimes based upon a famous gown or other pattern that is then duplicated and advertised to raise the visibility of the designer.
Fashion designers often have an atelier (workshop).
