Fashion Design

How Clothes Are Made

First, designers draw pictures of their ideas. Then they pick fabrics and colors. They make a sample to see how the clothes look on a person. If they like it, many copies can be made in a factory.

Fashion Shows

Designers show off new clothes at events called fashion shows. Models walk on a long stage called a runway wearing the new outfits. Big fashion shows happen in cities like Paris, New York, and Milan. Photographers take pictures to show the world.
