A fashion designer's job is to create original clothing ideas for commercial use. They will look at trends in the industry and make designs that are appealing to their target demographic. They will use Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology in the making of their designs. A fashion designer will usually test out several ideas before finding one that they approve. These will be the ones sold to fashion outlets, and, with proper planning, into people's closets.
