As a fashion designer living in San Diego, I run into a lot of people that don’t really understand the concept of fashion, or what exactly a fashion designer does. I am often mistaken as a seamstress or alterations. Now, I may be capable of sewing and making alterations, but that is not who I am. I feel the need for this blog because I’ve had it up to my ears in explaining myself away from a seamstress and trying to open people’s eyes up to the idea that design is an art and not a trade. Being a small business owner of my own line of fashion, my job duties are definitely different than world known designers. I want to walk you through the process I take as a designer. In the blogs to follow, I will tell about my process. I look forward to hearing comments and questions from my readers.
