Fashion designers create and produce original garments and patterns for the clothing industry. Fashion designers can work in a number of ways. They may work full-time for a fashion company, where they will normally be known as an in-house designer; in this situation the company will own the designs produced. A designer may work alone or as part of a team in a freelancer role; freelance designers works for themselves and sell their designs to fashion houses, directly to shops, or to clothing manufacturers. Here the garments usually bear the buyer's label. However some fashion designers set up their own labels, under which their designs are marketed.
Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men's, women's, and children's fashions for the mass market. Large designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand, such as Calvin Klein, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and Chanel, are likely to be designed by a team of individual designers under the direction of a designer director.
