I think Fashion Design must be a very interesting career.

I think it would be since it is influenced by cultural and social attitudes, it would be so different depending on where you live at

True, and it could be fascinating designing clothes that make a statement about people who wear them.  Do you know when it began as a profession?

The modern industry run by individual designers started in the 19th century! Its been around for a long time

Yes but not as long as people have designed clothes.  I guess maybe before that, the people who sewed the clothes designed them too. Do you know where one can study fashion design?

I think they have schools for people interested in that work, but I also think a lot of it depends on how well a designer can interpret fashion trends based on the research they do

I agree, but I believe yuo need some technical skill to to transmit your design ideas to the people actually making them.
