As of 2010, there were approximately 22,000 fashion designers employed in the US. Most work for wholesalers and manufacturers. Other have jobs with retailers, design firms and theater and dance companies. Full-time jobs are typical but part-time ones also exist. Some designers are self-employed. When a fashion show is upcoming or a deadline is approaching, designers have to work long hours whether they have full or part-time jobs or are self-employed.
If you are hoping to become the next Tommy, Calvin or Vera, sorry to report that your chances are slim. Although some designers are household names, most remain unknown to the general public. They anonymously create the designs behind well-known brands.
