About the video

So what do fashion designers do all day at work anyway? Paint? Sketch? Smoke cigarettes, drink coffee, and stare moodily out the window trying to get inspired? Yeah, no, not really.
This video busts 5 common myths about what designers do at work as well talk lots about what job tasks designers are responsible for! This video goes over a full time designer’s job, not freelance. Freelancers get hired for a project, they do what the project outline tell them to do, and that’s it. Full time designers jobs are a little more varied.
