Hello Anh,
Thank you very much for asking about fashion designing and traveling internationally as a career choice. I think

you have selected a great career choice and many people do enjoy new clothing trends, the designing buying selling of new clothing lines and wow what fun career option for you to investigate further in your career process.
I do know you have several choices when approaching the industry of fashion designing.
Number One: you can be an international buyer or purchaser of clothing lines,
Number Two: Another great option would be for merchandising your own clothing line.
Number Three: accessorizing your own clothing line of outfitting individuals and selling them yourself. You may want to begin with an outfit that you would like to sew and show your work to some of your family and friends that would be fun just in your spare time while you is making sound choices for your career in the future. You will need to select a target audience to design clothing you may want to seek out a for design college of sorts for a career if you have any in mind. You have many college options in the field of designers, you can design for interiors, decorating, exterior decorating, CAD or just make your own fabulous own outfitting line of clothing.
You may want to jot down some ideas that you have or brainstorm them when they arise so you know the style that you are trying to identify with when working as an international designer. I think depending on the marketing, the company, the clothing line would be key in how long the day would be where you would travel to and so on. Have you ever seen the show project runway? Or Rachel Zoe she is the outfitter whom designs clothing for multiple stars that had a tv show for awhile she outfits for the red carpet. Another Great show, is Heidi Klum in the show " project runway " they had many new designers on the show frequently who designed new clothing lines. Wow they had some great work from what I could tell. Rachel Zoe also had an assistant who worked with her helping her pick out the clothing from many countries, of famous fashion designers and famous fashion shows from around the world. The top designers, the top models and the top clothing designs is what she did as a living. She was actually a buyer. She never actually designed the clothing. However, because of her great taste in clothing lines the stars would trust her choices and wear what she chose for the stars on the red carpet. . The different fashion shows that her camp attended are for actresses and actors mostly, that totally rely on her choices she chooses for them for the red carpet or any award shows. Rachel Zoe is actually from the Los Angeles area you may want to look her up on the search engine and see what she does daily as a buyer of fashions, She is quite the busy gal from what I saw this is long hours, long days especially if you are designing your own line of clothing for others to wear or purchase. A great business takes dedication and hard work.
She normally sends out several selections to several of the stars to try on and see what choices they end up wearing on the carpet awards shows, or for the Oscars. I did watch the show for a while, so the information is based on her show that she had for a short time on one of the cable channels. Don’t worry, you must start somewhere I am sure she did the same thing. I think in the field of clothing designs you have many options of outer wear, athletic wear, gowns, dresses, slacks, shoes, or whatever you decide you think you want to design. Whatever you do decide I think you will do great!
I think that would be a great career choice for you! Then when you add travel into the equasion you would be very busy and have full days of work. However, as far as the traveling goes that would really be based on the what, of the company, or job, the where of the company. or the selected job, and then the when why and how of your own choices at your company or some one elese's company or org. Inc, This is what you will decide as you process the factors of what you really want to do. I think the focus would be on a designer college first for sure. Then after graduation or when you are ready to travel to either sell or purchase items or do your own business you will be ready. You can then be your own designer of a clothing line accessories, shoes, or whatever that you decide to make for the consumers. I am sure you will do just fine.
I think the need for clothing in international cultures is great, and a wise career choice. The multiple cultures would be magnificent, you would have a great time sewing all the wonderful patterns, and then the final reward would be your final published product that someone would actually wear. I hope that you have selected a great college to begin your career in fashion design or fashion merchandising, marketing, tech writer or whatever you decide on the career path that you have selected to move towards. I am sure you will do a great job. If you need any help with college selections please feel free to ask so you can begin your great journey. I hope this has been of some help to you with clarity and conciseness. I can give you links to a few websites you may want to view. AIGA design is a free designer site that offers many new and contemporary design choices. Then you can search for Pinterest this is another website that has updated material such as art, clothing that you can just browse for fun. If you want to know more about traveling in the fashion world, you want to look up words on the internet web browser search engines such as traveling internationally and the words fashion, marketing, purchasing, or marketing. You have many choices, do not forget to write down your ideas so you do not forget what you intend to create. The very best of luck to you.
