History of Fashion design

Fashion design was originally made popular as a branch of study in applied art in major art schools. It basically, then, focused on design of clothing by employing different creative patterns to achieve an aesthetic finish. However, the first man who took dressmaking to commercially viable stage was Charles Frederick Worth, who died in the year 1895.

Finally, in the mid-nineteen century Worth's great-grandson closed up his shop, but the big oak seed he planted in Paris continue its upward growth. Ever since, the world of fashion design has gone through so many changes, evolving into higher realms from one generation to another until it reached its present level, today.

Now, there are great fashion designers known continentally and internationally.We now have Tommy Hilfiger, Dior, Thierry Hermès, Tommy Bahama, Guccio Gucci, Ecko, Stefano Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Polo, Cole Hann, Andrew Marc and so many heavyweights designers.These later generations developed a system whereby artists were paid to brainstorm and sketch or paint unique designs for garments, which were basically presented to potential buyers before turning the artist impression into original garment. This idea gave rise to the modern fashion design industry whose main products is now known the world over as Designer wear.
