Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object or a system (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns). Design has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). In some cases the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, cowboy coding and graphic design) is also considered to be design.

In the context of fashion, "design" refers to the process of creating clothing and accessories, as well as the final products themselves. Fashion designers use their creativity and technical skills to develop unique, aesthetically pleasing designs that appeal to their target audience. Here are some examples of design in fashion:

1. Sketching: Fashion designers often begin the design process by sketching their ideas on paper. These sketches help to visualize the final product and work out any potential design flaws.

2. Fabric selection: Fashion designers carefully select the fabrics they will use for their designs, taking into consideration factors like texture, drape, and color.

3. Pattern making: Once the designer has a clear idea of what they want to create, they will create a pattern, which serves as a blueprint for the final product.

4. Sample making: The designer will create a sample of the garment or accessory, which can be used to test the design and make any necessary adjustments.

5. Production: Once the design has been finalized, the designer will oversee the production process, ensuring that the final product meets their standards and specifications.

Other similar aspects of fashion design could include:

1. Trend forecasting: The process of predicting upcoming fashion trends based on consumer behavior, cultural influences, and other factors.

2. Garment construction: The process of physically creating the garment, including cutting, sewing, and finishing.

3. Textile design: The process of creating patterns and designs.
