A fashion designer may work alone or with a team of designers. The fashion industry is one of the largest manufacturers in the UK employing upward of 140,000 people. The industry is divided into the following: Haute couture houses, where fashion garments are made for individual customers. Wholesale couture, where clothes originally designed for the haute couture houses are made for limited retail. Wholesale manufacturing, where the latest fashions are made for mass production on the high street, this is the largest part of the fashion industry and where most employment is. With wholesale manufacturing the designer must be able to predict the season’s trends and also be able to design for certain age ranges or price ranges that the company’s image dictates.
