Fashion design refers to individuals who design under their own name. A typical ‘branded’ fashion designer may be responsible for a variety of brands in one company and design for each one according to set criteria as defined by the brand’s philosophy. Branding also adds value to clothing and informs the customer of the differences in each product. Studying branded fashion design offers you many career options and gives you the skills to work across both fields.
