Of all the artists and designers that ply their trade around us, possibly no other genre of creative minds have more influence on our day to day lives than fashion designers. Very few people stop to give much thought to where the clothes that they put on each morning originated in design. The fact is, that virtually every garment that you wear began as a thought of a fashion designer at some point in time. Even socks and undergarments are not excluded any more.
You see, even if you buy your clothes from from the bargain isle at the local department store, the clothing you select was at the very least influenced by a fashion designer. It may not carry a label but it will have been influenced by a designer that originally did something that resembles it. The actual design process of clothing begins a year or two before the clothing is made and put on store shelves, because it takes that much time to set up to manufacture a line of clothing.
Even the jeans that have become so popular to this generation began as the idea of a man named Levi Strous in the middle of the 1800s. He wanted to make pants for the gold miners in California during the gold rush that would stand up to the harsh work environment that they were to be subjected to while the pioneers mined for gold. It was Calvin Klein
that came up with the idea of marketing designer jeans
a few decades ago and he took a chance that people would pay three times the price of a pair of Levis to wear his brand of jeans with a designer label on them.
