What Does It Take To Be A Fashion Designer?

Fashion design is a form of art. To work as a designer, you should have an artistic and creative personality. You also have to be good at drawing and able to express your ideas in sketches. You don't necessarily have to be a great artist, but you must have some special skills for combining colors, tones and shades. You also have to be able to work with fabric and use textiles in a creative and original manner. Fashion designers have a good visual imagination and are able to think in three-dimensions and put their ideas into garments.

Fashion designers have to be aware of the fashion market requirements. They have to be very interested in learning new things and read magazines, journals and books on fashion design history and new trends. They also have to be interested in art, visit art galleries and interact with all kinds of artists whenever they have the opportunity. A designer should also have some knowledge and experience of tailoring (cutting, draping, sewing etc.) and be able to tell the difference between different fabric quality levels.

A good understanding of the audience's lifestyle and customer needs and requirements is also needed in fashion design. Designers should have good communication skills and be able to express their ideas clearly. But most important, they have to be very original and have fresh, innovative ideas.

THE 4 Cs OF DIAMONDS

Carat Weight

As with all precious stones, the weight and therefore the size of a diamond is expressed in carats. One carat is divided into 100 "points" so that a diamond of 25 points is described as a quarter of a carat, or 0.25 carats. Size is the most obvious factor in determining the value of a diamond, but now you know that two diamonds of equal size can have very unequal prices, depending on their quality. However, remember that diamonds of high quality can be found in all size ranges.

Clarity

Because of their unique properties, diamonds, more than any other gemstone are capable of producing the maximum amount of brilliance. While minute crystals of diamond or other minerals are contained in almost all diamonds, a diamond that is virtually free of inclusions and surface markings will be judged as flawless. In these diamonds, nothing interferes with the passage of light nor spoils the beauty. But these diamonds are extremely rare and will command a high price. To determine a diamond's clarity grading, it must be examined under a 10x magnification by a trained, skilled eye. What minute inclusions there may be make every diamond unique. These are, in fact, nature's fingerprints and do not mar the diamond's beauty nor endanger its durability. Without high magnification, you may never see these inclusions. However, the fewer there are, the rarer your diamond will be.

Diamond Clarity Chart:

Grade	Description
FL	Flawless
IF	Internally Flawless - Minor Surface Blemishes
VVS1-VVS2	Very, Very Small Inclusions
VS1-VS2	Very Small Inclusions
SI1-SI2	Small Inclusions
I1-I2-I3	Inclusions - Visible to the Naked Eye

Color

The most prized diamonds are colorless diamonds, because their beauty depends entirely upon their remarkable optical properties. In such diamonds, all the colors of the rainbow are reflected back to your eye. While the majority of gem diamonds appear to be colorless, others can contain increasing shades of yellow to brown, some of which are referred to as champagne diamonds. Other diamonds of exceptional color red, blue, green, pink and amber are known as "Fancies." The color grading scale varies from totally colorless to light color or tinted. The difference between one grade and its neighbor is very subtle. Experts never try to remember color; they use master diamonds of known color for comparison.

Cut

Many people confuse cut with the shape of a diamond. The shape you select is a matter of individual taste, and today the skill and imagination of the craftsmen only limit your choice. It is their efforts during every stage of the fashioning process that reflects the maximum amount of light back to the eye. Most round, brilliant-cut or fancy-shaped diamonds possess 58 carefully angled flat surfaces, called facets. It is the precision of each facet's placement that will affect the amount of fire, brilliance and ultimate beauty of your Diamond.

When a diamond is cut to good proportions, light is reflected from one facet to another and then dispersed through the crown, or the top of the stone (Figure A). If the cut of the diamond is too deep, some light escapes through the opposite side of the pavilion, or bottom (Figure B). If the cut is too shallow, light escapes through the pavilion before it can be reflected (Figure C).

Popular Diamond Shapes Round A traditional style, the most popular of all cuts. Stunning in earrings, rings and pendants, the cut of the round diamond brings out every color of the rainbow. Princess The princess cut is square in shape. It is a classic style, very elegant. Very versatile, it can be worn as a solitaire, fashion pendant and more. Marquise A stylish diamond with tradition. Looks especially exquisite in a solitaire setting. Heart A fancy style, often used in pendants and is becoming more popular in engagement rings. The heart shape is very popular in solitaire pendants. Oval An elegant diamond, becoming very popular as the centerpiece in rings. You can create a stunning pair of solitaire earrings with two oval diamonds. Pear The pear shape diamond is mysterious yet beautiful. It has the appearance of a rain drop and looks amazing as a solitaire pendant. Emerald This is a stunning, traditional style with an open cut that leaves room for lots of sparkle. Create a stunning engagement ring with an emerald cut center diamond.
