Dress Designers are Here to Stay

A Dress Design to Satisfy Today's Woman

I just don't believe I could ever be involved in a dress designer's world, because there are just too many women that I would have to satisfy. There are the young, old, short, tall, skinny and plump.

Have you ever looked at clips from fashion shows and wondered what dress designers are thinking? I realize they are supposed to be high fashion, but some of them are making dresses I cannot imagine anyone wearing anywhere.

I don’t know why they waste their time, and I don’t know why they do it. I guess I might not understand because I couldn’t imagine paying thousands for a dress. I could be a billionaire and I still wouldn’t do it. I know there are some dresses that they show off on the catwalk that never see the light of day again. Why do dress designers do it?

Perhaps it is a matter of showing off what you can do, even though you are not concerned with the average person because you know the average person won’t wear it. I’m not a dress designer so perhaps I will never quite understand.

Fashion Statement Fiction?

Dress designers are often said to be the style setters, but I’m not so sure that is the case.

If people don’t like something, it doesn’t matter who is wearing it.

I have seen celebrities wearing a style that they were probably given by a designer. These vanished rather quickly, because even dress designers aren't always perfect.

I see that a lot of dress designers are now moving into making clothing for the average person. Even though, they are still making high-end clothing for the rich, they are also using their skills to make great designs for everyone else.

This is a great idea, and I can’t imagine why dress designers did not do this long ago. They may think it diminishes their high couture value, but I really don’t think so. This gives everyone a chance to own something great looking without spending a fortune, and what could be a better advertisement that having everyone look great with your name on it?

However, I do think dress designers are great at what they do, even if in the scope of life it is not something that will change the world. Though guiding fashions and what people wear will be something that can be seen globally, and in the end it really doesn’t matter at all.

I do understand the drive to do what you love, and if being a dress designer is something that you have as your goal in life, then go ahead and do it. After all, what would we as women talk about if there weren't any dress designers to tell us about the hot new fashion dress on the market? Give us the style we crave!
