Does being a Artist include being able to make Fashion Designs?

I would like to be able to be an artist that can also be able to make Fashion Designs because I enjoy them both. #art #artist #fashion-design

Thank you comment icon <html><head></head><body><a href="/users/219/alexiscodman2/" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="/users/219/alexiscodman2/" rel="nofollow">@AlexisCodman2</a> What does it mean to you to be "an artist"? Defining that a bit would be helpful for us to get you good answers. If you mean painting or making sculptures, it's very different from if you just mean "being a creative person". I think many fashion designers might consider themselves artists who use articles of clothing as the medium for their art. But if you have a stricter definition of what it means to be an artist, then it might be harder to combine the two fields. Could you please clarify, either in a "comment" on this question, or by editing the body of your question?</body></html> Jared Chung, Admin

Careers in art are among the most competitive (and rewarding!) professions someone can choose to work in.


Working in the creative arts requires talent, many years of study and practice, and a true passion for the work…and sometimes more than a little bit of luck. It also requires an understanding and acceptance of the fact that you’re not likely to get rich. While a small percentage do become very financially well-off, the vast majority of artists do not. Most artists pursue creative careers out of a passion for the work itself.


A career in art is not for everyone, but if you think it may be right for you, it's better to explore when you’re young, have lots of energy, and don’t have multiple financial obligations!


If you conclude that a career in art isn't right for you, you may want to consider a career in arts administration (development, public relations, financial officer, etc.), which enables you to use managerial skills in a creative arts organization.

Amy’s Answer

You can do both. Most designers illustrate with sketches, and plan out their designs with story/mood boards. There is also opportunity to be a fashion illustrator in the industry if you are a really talented artist. Fashion design involves a lot of drawing of ideas and thinking up what the story is behind your seasonal designs, it is not just about sewing clothing. It is a super creative field that incorporates everything you like to do.

Artists can be found in the most intriging places and are extremely valuable in the corporate world! Use your creativity while thinking of solutions to problem solving, planning and handling challenges. Artists see the world in more than one way and can interpret situations where others may be too focused on the problem to see a solution. Stay open-minded.

Yvonne’s Answer

Indeed, the role of an artist can encompass the capacity to produce fashion designs. Numerous fashion designers are artists in their own right, applying their imaginative abilities to design apparel, accessories, and even full fashion lines. Fashion design is an art form that merges design elements, color principles, texture, and aesthetics.

If you have a passion for both art and fashion design, you can definitely explore a career that integrates these two fields. Fashion designers typically begin their process by sketching out their ideas, compiling mood boards, and experimenting with a variety of materials and techniques. They employ their artistic skills to breathe life into their fashion visions.

To step into the world of fashion design, you might want to consider obtaining formal education in the field. This will equip you with the necessary technical skills and industry knowledge. Nonetheless, your artistic foundation will be an invaluable resource in this profession, as it will shape your unique design style and foster your creativity.

Therefore, being both an artist and a fashion designer can be mutually beneficial, enabling you to channel your creativity into the realm of fashion. It's a rewarding journey if you harbor a love for both art and design.
