Tell me how you stay upto date with fashion? 

The interviewer asks the queries to interviewee to know the interest of an individual. This is because if an individual has more interest in a particular part, then there will be more chances of getting a job in an area of interest and specialization. The employer wants to know you're serious about pursuing a career in fashion. Companies spend a lot of time and money training employees, so before they make that investment, they want to make sure you're not just applying for a job in the industry on a whim.

Be frank. Some established designers use no or little computer software in their work. Others rely heavily on technology (CAD). Simply explain how you work. If you are an efficient designer, your use of computer software will not be relevant.

The areas are generally divided into three groups:

* street fashion (mass-manufactured high fashion);

*ready-to-wear (small collections);

* haute couture, where unique cat-walk garments are created mostly without practical considerations.

Don’t try to impress employees with what you are not. If you are an expert in high street fashion – you will be appreciated and find plenty of work.

This question can be answered in several ways. You can describe your education: fine arts with fashion/design focus. You can describe your work experience: fashion houses, employers, employees, and of course your actual work (the portfolio). Or you can describe your personal characteristics.

Designers stay current by reading magazines, browsing the internet, attending fashion shows, and studying technical manuals. They study the history of fashion to better understand its development and current tendencies.

Designers have to either combine marketing intelligence and artistic vision themselves, or be able to delegate business duties to hired specialists, agents, etc. while they focus on the art.
