One unique aspect of the Balenciaga purse is that the leather that is used for the purses is not cowhide but is actually naturally distressed goat leather that gives the bags that unique appearance that most people that own them adore. Other aspects that differentiate that differentiate the Balenciaga purse from others are a unique zipper compartment with a mirror inside.

In today's world, those that where the Balenciaga name brand are also among the rich and famous. Famous people such as Madonna and Lindsay Lohan purchase and flaunt their Balenciaga purses worldwide.

Every parent loves to see their child dressed beautifully and looking her best. When choosing designer baby clothes, it is important to select items that are fashionable, functional, safe, and comfortable for baby. The most beautiful babies are always wearing a smile.

Choosing Materials

Only choose items made from the finest, softest fabrics, and natural fibers are always best. Opt for fabrics made from organically grown fibers whenever possible. Make sure decorative items such as buttons, bows and lace don't bother your baby, irritate her delicate skin, or pose a choking hazard. Read the care label inside the garment. It is a good idea to only buy clothes that are machine washable and dryer safe. This will save you much time and effort not having to handwash or run to the cleaners. The only exceptions to this rule are items like winter coats.

Finding The Right Color

An important thing to consider is the colors you are going to purchase. White and light colors are stain magnets. Stains on light colors are inevitable and almost impossible to remove. Feel free to purchase that white or pastel colored outfit it you really love it and the baby looks great in it, but just don't expect to get several wears out of it and you won't be disappointed when it gets destroyed.

Although it is not always easy to find exclusive designer clothing in tiny sizes, it is possible to keep your baby boy or girl trendy and chic all year round. One of the best ways to find just the right designer baby clothes is by shopping online. Chances are some of your favorite designers offer baby clothes on their websites. You can spend an afternoon browsing from home and end the day with a stunning new designer wardrobe that fits your preferences and suits your baby's personality.

These clothes tend to be more expensive than their department store counterparts but are well worth the money due to the increased quality of design, construction and style. Keep in mind before spending a whole year's wardrobe budget, that babies outgrow their clothes at an incredibly fast rate. You may want to purchase some things a little larger than what the baby currently needs, this way you and your baby will be able to enjoy the outfits longer.

Keep these few simple rules in mind and you will be choosing designer baby clothes with confidence and having fun doing it. Top designers understand your baby's needs for comfort and safety, and won't compromise on your requirement for unparalleled style. Your baby's designer wardrobe will become an investment instead of just a way to make your baby look super cute.

How do you get people to sit up and notice your enterprise? An attractive logo design on a billboard will surely make heads turn. A logo may be described as a graphic design or emblem portrayed on all literature supported by a company. It may be aptly defined as the identity of a company in public.

A logo design is intended to convey graphically what exactly the concept or function of a company is. Designing logos has in fact emerged as a successful profession over the years. What are the points to be kept in mind while developing a good logo?

    * Color of course plays an important part in the design process. It can in fact communicate certain moods like white for peace, green for environment protection etc. So companies engaged in similar activities will aptly adopt these colors on their logo.
    * A logo with innumerable patterns on it may be an impeccable and brilliant work of art but don't expect it to register in the minds of the target audience easily. In fact the simpler you make them, the more the chances of it becoming a hit!
    * Some companies don't even bother with complicated designs; their name itself serves as the image of recognition. Here the typeface or the font used plays a major part. Make sure that is clear, legible and impactful.
    * It's best to use vector graphics in your logo design. One major advantage is that it can be modified according to the owner's requirements.

A quick search of the internet will yield you innumerable names of people specializing in logo design. Once you communicate your ideas, they will lose no time in designing a logo to match your demands. On the other hand you can go for a custom logo design. This can be created from special software programs available for this purpose. The program will contain several pre designed logos on which you can apply your unique touch to create an entirely new symbol.

The program also allows you to chose desired colors as well as incorporate some text in a straight or curved pattern on or next to the design. The one and only drawback in using this method is that the same program will be worked over by scores of people and there are mild chances of duplication happening. Entrusting the task to a professional graphic /logo designer will certainly give you an exclusive design.

Interior design careers require not only a sense of design, but also technical aptitude and sophisticated communication skills. Designing your life with a career in interior design can give you the lifetime reward of living with a job you love. Interior design careers are for the creative individual who also has the ability to manage the creativity logically and enjoys working with materials.

An interior designer works for their client. The client will issue their requests, demands and specifications for the interior design. The interior designer will then take those specifications and create a design, using creativity and talent to create a design, and educational background and on-the-job experience to make the design a reality. Textiles and materials, form and function, safety and security are all areas of study that the interior designer has to master. Your Interior Design major will begin with the fundamentals. Safety courses will include fire regulations, building codes, ADA regulations, and space constraints.

Most states require an interior designer to be insured. Once you complete your education, complete the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam. Section One is "the Principles and Practices of Design (Building and Barrier Free Codes included), Section Two is "Contract Development and Administration," and Section Three is "Schematics and Design Development."

An interior designer can work in general interiors in residential or commercial buildings, or they can specialize, working for just restaurants, hotels, skyscrapers, or any other specialty that they've found their talent for. An interior designer might work for a large corporation, a small design firm, or out of their own home. The interior designer's education, license, portfolio and work experience will determine reputation and career. Interior design takes a great deal of creativity, skill and knowledge.

A. Why We Need Interior Designer?
An interior designer is responsible for the interior design, decoration, and functionality of a client’s space, whether the space is commercial, industrial, or residential. Interior designers work closely with architects and clients to determine the structure of a space, the needs of the occupants, and the style that best suits both. Interior designers have to be good with more than color, fabric, and furniture; interior designers must know materials, have budgeting skills, communicate well, and oversee the ordering, installation, and maintenance of all objects that define a space. This broader range of required knowledge distinguishes them from interior decorators.

Of course, interior designers cost too. Now, that's a price worth paying!
Required Skills in Interior Designers:
• As members of a service profession, interior designers' fortunes depend on their ability to satisfy clients. Thus, they must possess three important skill sets-artistic and technical skills, interpersonal skills and management skills.
• Designers must know how to plan a space and how to render that plan visually, so that it can be conveyed to the client.
• Designers must be comfortable meeting and dealing with many kinds of people.
• Designers must have excellent time and project management skills, since they frequently work on more than one project at a time, under demanding deadlines, while looking for new projects or clients.
• Interior designers are often confused with interior decorators, but there's a difference. An interior decorator requires no formal education, usually works on homes, and focuses mainly on furnishings and decor. Interior designers, on the other hand, are professionally educated and trained. They coordinate with architects, engineers, and contractors and must understand fire codes, ergonomics, lighting, acoustics, and the implementation of technology.

How Designer Works:
• Analyzing the client's requirements
• Formulating design concepts
• Presenting concepts, getting client feedback, and revising the plan as needed.
• Preparing final drawings and specifications, including materials, finishes, furnishings, and fixtures for the people in charge of procurement and construction.
• Preparing and revising budgets
• Overseeing the implementation of the design

B. Residential Interior Designer Figures Budget Sits at Head of the Table
If you think interior design clients in the high-end don't pore over their budgets, think again. A background in accounting might be the last place you would expect to look for a key element of managing an interior design company, but interior design is as much a matter of numbers as it is colors.

The majority of residential designers I work with have virtually no knowledge or training, and quite often, no sense for numbers. Colors they are great with. Numbers? I have given dozens and dozens of design presentations to clients who came to me to take on a residential interior design project. The projects have ranged from single rooms needing high thread count fine linens that match the colors on their walls or carpets, to full residential design with drawings, space planning and project management of construction trades. What these design projects have in common, whether it is just design direction or a full-on project, is client attention to the budget.

How much is it gonna cost!
Have you worked with an interior designer before? Pretty soon, I get an idea of the scope of the work, enough so I can inquire about the client's budget. Mostly executives, professionals and business owners, my clients would find it unusual not to have early discussions concerning budgets. For instance, I can suggest to a client a fabric to cover a chair that costs $50 a yard. Or I can offer a similar fabric that costs $100 a yard. I have access to a 6,000 square foot fabric showroom to source from so there are endless choices.

I try to keep design billing as low as possible and to cover my costs with discounts I arrange from designer showrooms. The public can't shop there without a professional designer. And the way I work, clients never pay more than the product resells for in retail. I just save them the trouble and leg work of finding the products.

It is my job to take a list of often over one hundred items, linens, art, furniture, rugs, lighting, etc. and measure that against an estimate of how much the client indicated is an affordable range for the scope of work. The aforementioned table may wind up costing $12,500 and the fabric for the chair may be $60 a yard. Numbers are so important because the cost of the overall package has to match the beginning budget as closely as the design matches the concepts that were approved by the client.

C. Residential Interior Design Times: They Are Re-Arranging
1. Time is the major element that gets overlooked in most residential interior design projects shown on television. By the time 22 minutes are up, the jobs is tied up nicely. You rarely see the designer sourcing fabrics or furnishings. The trades are always available. Budget is never discussed. Times change. Today's residential interior designer's typical clients have a complete shortage of time and too many demands on what little time they do have. These people chunk life down to a size they can handle. In design, this translates not into a mansion makeover, but a room at a time or a condo makeover to suit a certain lifestyle. Designer's client lists distinctively include physicians and dentists, attorneys and accountants, entrepreneurs and business executives. Their good fortune is the ability to control their destiny by working hard at their chosen profession.

2. I purchased a condo downtown. I need someone knowledgeable to source and arrange furnishings and linens and curtains for my two bedroom condo and to deal with my executive assistant by phone and email for payments and scheduling installations.

3. We hate the ugly carpeting throughout our living room and dining room. We'd prefer a mixture of hardwood and area rugs. Where can we find a reliable hardwood specialist at an affordable price?

4. I desperately need a fabric I can wash and dry. What kind of fabric will work? What colors are available? I can't find the colors I like at the big box stores. I've been searching for a slate colored duvet cover and shams.

After the daily corporate battles these busy professionals want to retreat to rooms that look like the photo shoots of home decor magazines and re-charge their batteries for tomorrow. Time is the driver of interior design these days. If a designer can show the importance of this ability to take the job off the shoulders of busy professionals, and save them time, they'll be rewarded with referrals and repeat business.

It's no surprise that a lot of us are drawn into that body art known as tattoo. It should be noted that even in the earliest civilizations, certain folks are already sporting tattoos and these art designs drawn in one's body carry in them particular roles and symbols for the community. Nowadays, tattoos are considered a medium of self-expression and this is why many enthusiasts are flocking to different artists all over the globe.

There are two known ways to get cool tattoos and nice designs. One is by going directly to the tattoo shop. There, you can take a good look at the tattoo design gallery found in various portfolios. Choose among the many selections and once you are decided, have your tattoo done right then and there. Another way is to go online and search for available design ideas.

Searching online has two options as well. You either take advantage of the free ones or dish out some extra cash for those tattoo design sites that require membership fees. If you want to understand why some prefer the latter option, it's because of these three reasons:

You can get access to several exclusive designs.
When you go for those free designs, chances are there will be more individuals having a tattoo like yours. When you go for paid membership sites, that possibility is quite minimal. A lot of tattoo enthusiasts want their cool tattoos to be unique and simply one-of-a-kind. You don't want to keep bumping into someone with the same design as yours.

You can get access to videos.
Some of you may think that you can still get videos related to tattoos and tattoo designs off YouTube and other free video sharing sites and don't really have to pay for membership fees just to access them. However, there are personal tattoo design videos of several members ranging from documentary-style, funny, educational, etc. that you can't get from YouTube and any other video sites. Having access to these videos can really be beneficial to tattoo enthusiasts like you.

You can get access to forums.
There may be some tattoo forums out there that are free to use but a lot of paid membership tattoo design sites have some well-known tattoo designers and artists as members. So you not only have access to the coolest tattoos but you also have the chance to communicate with some of the best tattoo artists in the industry. That's quite a nice privilege.

It's really up to you to stick with free tattoo designs that are readily available off the Net or consider signing up for a cost-efficient tattoo design site. Weigh the pros and cons. If you think it won't hurt that much and will even help you in the long run to get cool tattoos and designs from paid membership sites, then go for it.

Designers make clothes of all types, be it casual or formal. However, the prices of designer apparel are quite high, and many people cannot afford such clothing at all. As a result, it is mostly the upper classes which are avid customers of designer boutiques and outlets, even though there is nothing different in them except a contemporary and a very stylish design. The enhanced prices are merely what they charge you for their creativity.

Designer apparel consists of shoes and numerous other accessories as well. There are exclusive designers who design matching shoes to go with their dresses, and these can also be purchased from the various outlets that are littered across the city. There is a fierce competition amongst designers, as they all want to be rich and famous and have a huge fan base. There are some designers who strive to make a living for themselves, and often fail to make ends meet. These are up coming designers whose products are not well known in the market.

The clothes you buy from designer outlets are extremely attractive, and enhance your body figure. However, it also depends upon your physique which decides whether you would look good or not. For instance, you can wear as expensive clothes as you wish to, but if you have a bulging stomach and a body that is out of shape, it is bound to depress your image and not make you look so good in the crowd. But, if you have a slim, attractive body and then you adorn yourself with such expensive and stylish clothing, it enhances and impresses your personality, and people begin to get attracted to you.
Your clothing also has a major influence on the other person, as a person who is well dressed in a suit and pants is bound to look better and much more sophisticated than a person with torn jeans and an out of fashion tee shirt.

Designer clothing is also quite popular amongst teenagers who like to show off amongst their friends and family. Young people save money to buy such clothing, and you can easily spot a lot of such people in the school balls or prom nights that are held every year. Designer clothing is extremely stylish, and sends out a silent statement from your personality to the world, which just says that you are completely in fashion and are going with the changes and trends in fashion. People who wear designer apparel are bound to stand out from a crowd of people who wear ordinary clothing.

The shoes that are sold at designer outlets are also quite expensive, and are also a part of your apparel. As stated earlier, every thing that you wear is your apparel. It can be anything, even the bracelet on your wrist, or the trendy ring in your finger. So, whatever you buy or wear from a designer outlet should be looking good on you, as the price is extremely high and it would be a waste if your clothes didn't compliment your overall personality.

A hip look can communicate a strong style with the help of a few key accessories, and a fun screenprinted Cat T Shirt is a great touch that can spice up the most boring wardrobe. Choose from an outstanding selection of cat and kitty shirts in high-quality 100% cotton, or browse the full selection at http://www.mytshirtdesigns.com/ now to find hundreds of hilarious and adorable designs from cartoon cats to patriotic cats.

For instance, I can suggest to a client a fabric to cover a chair that costs $50 a yard. Or I can offer a similar fabric that costs $100 a yard. I have access to a 6,000 square foot fabric showroom to source from so there are endless choices.

I try to keep design billing as low as possible and to cover my costs with discounts I arrange from designer showrooms. The public can't shop there without a professional designer. And the way I work, clients never pay more than the product resells for in retail. I just save them the trouble and leg work of finding the products.

It is my job to take a list of often over one hundred items, linens, art, furniture, rugs, lighting, etc. and measure that against an estimate of how much the client indicated is an affordable range for the scope of work. The aforementioned table may wind up costing $12,500 and the fabric for the chair may be $60 a yard. Numbers are so important because the cost of the overall package has to match the beginning budget as closely as the design matches the concepts that were approved by the client.

C. Residential Interior Design Times: They Are Re-Arranging
1. Time is the major element that gets overlooked in most residential interior design projects shown on television. By the time 22 minutes are up, the jobs is tied up nicely. You rarely see the designer sourcing fabrics or furnishings. The trades are always available. Budget is never discussed. Times change. Today's residential interior designer's typical clients have a complete shortage of time and too many demands on what little time they do have. These people chunk life down to a size they can handle. In design, this translates not into a mansion makeover, but a room at a time or a condo makeover to suit a certain lifestyle. Designer's client lists distinctively include physicians and dentists, attorneys and accountants, entrepreneurs and business executives. Their good fortune is the ability to control their destiny by working hard at their chosen profession.

2. I purchased a condo downtown. I need someone knowledgeable to source and arrange furnishings and linens and curtains for my two bedroom condo and to deal with my executive assistant by phone and email for payments and scheduling installations.

3. We hate the ugly carpeting throughout our living room and dining room. We'd prefer a mixture of hardwood and area rugs. Where can we find a reliable hardwood specialist at an affordable price?

4. I desperately need a fabric I can wash and dry. What kind of fabric will work? What colors are available? I can't find the colors I like at the big box stores. I've been searching for a slate colored duvet cover and shams.

After the daily corporate battles these busy professionals want to retreat to rooms that look like the photo shoots of home decor magazines and re-charge their batteries for tomorrow. Time is the driver of interior design these days. If a designer can show the importance of this ability to take the job off the shoulders of busy professionals, and save them time, they'll be rewarded with referrals and repeat business.

A poker game is easy to set up. All you need to have are a set of playing cards and a poker chip set. Although it will not affect how the game is being played, since anything from peanuts, cigarette sticks and other items can be used, the usage of poker chips is highly recommended in order to give that casino feel to every game of poker. Because of this, a lot of people have started buying their own poker set to be used in their own homes or to be carried to a friend's house for games.

Poker chips come in a variety of designs and choosing a design is entirely based on the person's preference. Basically, clay and composite chips are available in single solid color, two colors, and three-colored designs. Chips may have different patterns or logos imprinted on them as well as the value assigned to the chips.

In terms of cost, the two-color and three-colored chips are more expensive because they have a more excellent look. The edge of the chips is also used for design and this adds to the unique look of the different chips available in the market. Chip edges may be designed using the following design styles:

    * Suited design - the edge of the poker chips are surrounded by the four suits of the standard playing cards.
    * Diamond design - a series of diamond prints are used to design the surrounding edge of the chip.
    * Dice design - Each side of the dice is imprinted around the poker chip.

There are also a lot of casinos that sell poker chip sets that have their logos on them. However, these may cost a lot more than the regular poker chips.

Poker chip sets may also be ordered with your own exclusive designs. A lot of poker chip manufacturers offer customization of chips based on the client's taste. Having your poker chip set customized is a great way of making your chips stand out however, you should be willing to pay for the premium of having them designed the way you like.

Among the different designs available, the three-colored designs with the diced edge is probably the most sought after because they give an authentic casino feel to the chips. So if you want to impress your friends with your home poker set-up, choose a design that will make them feel that they are playing in a casino. Remember, if your friends like your set up, then you can rest assured that they will be back for more poker nights.

A designer handbag possesses an aura of style and status. When you have it, it gives off a feeling that comes from within which has nothing to do with showing off to any other person. It's just overwhelming to carry these designer handbags. They come in a variety of colors, designs, patterns, and styles available. They also come in distinctive details accentuated with unique and hard to find designs.

Women are always in search for the most exclusive designs and high-end fashion in bags, and seldom do they find a designer handbag sale because most designer handbags are expensive and only accessible to the rich. This is because these handbags are tailor made in unique and compelling designs and styles. These bags are of genuine qualities that reflect modern cultural influences.

Manufacturers of designer bags see to it that their attention to detail is almost perfect and is second to none. Designer handbags have high standards for quality, originality, service, and value in the handbag industry. They are available in many stores and the high price tag that comes with them is probably the only drawback designer handbags have. But then again, you should never forget that pure quality is never a partner of cheap rates.

Why wait for a Designer Handbag Sale?

Designer handbag sales are usually one of the most sought after places on earth. Given the global crisis and how hard it is to earn money now-a-days, people are reconsidering budgets and wise money management. Designer bargains truly are the things to look for when it comes to the latest designer fashion at a much more affordable price. Designer handbags are everywhere, but sadly, only a few people are able to buy them with the high price tags that come along with them. So, it is wise to look for a designer handbag sale, especially when you're sure it is genuine.

Every day you need a handbag, for Mondays to Fridays in your job or in school. An amazing collection of unique and affordable bags are perfect for you. Your ability to find things that are on sale with big discounts matters greatly. This way, you get to enjoy handbags that have high quality at a very affordable price. So before you say "Ugh, items on sale are so last season!" you may probably have to be reminded that fashion is a cycle. What is fashionable today may be un-fashionable tomorrow and fashionable again next week. Fashion is completely unpredictable.

You will always come across many bags every day of your life-expensive, cheap, pretty, and ugly. Oftentimes, you will bump into a bag that looks exactly the same as a bag that you have seen somewhere else. These may be exactly the same designs but prices are different. A designer handbag sale is rare, so you have to grab the opportunity when you encounter one so that your handbag prayers are answered. Thing is, you may not get it again elsewhere so the next time you come across a sale, you might want to give it serious consideration.

So you’ve decided to hire an Interior Designer—good move! You’ll need to learn the basics of choosing the right design professionals, establishing a budget, outlining the details of the contract, considering your lifestyle and communicating your challenges.

Choosing the Right Designer: Beyond the Portfolio
Professionally trained Interior Designers have undergone extensive training in the various elements of modern and historical design, art and architecture. That being said, not every designer’s talent is right for every project. As with every profession, designers tend to develop personal styles that carry over into their projects.

Referrals are the best way to find a designer, so if the home of a friend or colleague appeals to you, by all means ask them for the designer’s number! You can also visit Web sites to get a better feel for the designer’s talent and personal style. You’re looking for someone you instantly trust and respect, who communicates excitement about your project, no matter how big or small, and who trusts and respects you as well.

Establishing a Realistic Budget
No matter what the amount, your designer should help you get the best value and the highest quality possible. Be wary of anyone that summarily dismisses your grand ideas based on budget alone: A first-rate designer will work hard to achieve your key design goals, perhaps by spreading the job out over time or suggesting alternative solutions for your project.
A great benefit of using a professional designer is that she has access to materials unavailable to the general public, so no matter what your budget, your home will feel unique and very “you.”

Your designer will also manage the entire process, whether it involves space planning, lighting design, purchasing, ordering, selecting finishes or monitoring the construction and installation of the project elements.

Outlining Terms of the Contract
In addition to the legal aspects, a contract summarizes the plans you’ve been discussing such as your budget, design fees, accountability regarding subcontractors (painters, carpet layers, etc.).

You’ve selected the designers and signed the contract – now comes the fun part!
Your home environment should complement and support the way you and your family really live – or really want to live. If your spouse loves to cook, you might knock down a wall so the under-used formal dining room becomes part of the kitchen. Many families make the mistake of letting the layout of the home dictate their activities vs. reorganizing the space to embrace their lifestyles.

To ensure that your designer understands how you live now and how you want to live, share as many details with her as you can.
Do you like the present color palette? Does it need updating?
Are they any rooms that feel cramped or stuffy?
Any rooms that feel empty, cold or unwelcoming?
Is adequate, well-organized storage a problem?
Are your bathrooms functional, pleasing spaces?
Do you or family members have special needs (e.g. grab bars, easy-entrance shower stalls, etc.)?
Does your home balance open space and private areas?
If you normally come into your home through the garage, does that area welcome you?

A designer works best when you share your “wish list,” express your ideas, and then keep an open mind. For example, one homeowner hired a designer to help her reorganize her tiny office so she could be more productive. Contrary to TV, where designers admonish clients for questioning their plans, real-life designers understand that you’re the person who ultimately needs to love the space. Hiring a designer is like giving a gift to yourself! You made the smart decision to hire an Interior Designer, you’ve been smart about the planning process, and now you can rest assured that the time, money and energy you spend returns truly smart, stunning results!

A. A Career in Interior Decorating
Welcome to the world of interior decorating!
You will meet interesting people, and because many people who hire interior decorators are wealthy, you will likely spend time in many beautiful homes and businesses. If you start your own decorating business you can enjoy the freedom of being your own boss. (Unlike becoming a certified interior designer which has strict requirements including two to five years of post-secondary education in interior design.) You can become an interior decorator immediately.

If interior decorating sounds like the career of your dreams, here are 5 steps to breaking into this fabulous job, based on the FabJob Guide to Become an Interior Decorator published by FabJob.com:
1. Train your eye
Since you are interested in a career as a interior decorator, chances are you already have a "good eye" for design. Seek out beautifully decorated interiors to look at. You can find numerous examples of beautiful interiors in design magazines or in your own community by visiting show homes, open houses for sale in wealthy neighborhoods, furniture showrooms, historic homes, art galleries, and offices of professionals such as interior decorators and corporate lawyers. You can learn decorating basics through courses, books, web sites, and even by speaking with retailers of products used in home decorating (paint, carpet, lighting, hardware stores, etc.)

2. Practice at home
Most interior decorators get their first decorating experience working on their own homes. Your friends and family members may already have asked for your advice about decorating, but if they haven't yet asked you to actually decorate their homes or businesses, why not offer? Some occasions your family or friends may want to redecorate are when they experiencing transitions in life, such as: marriage or co-habitation (help them merge two households into one), moving into a new home, childbirth (offer to decorate the baby's room), hosting a special event such as a wedding or dinner party, starting a home business (you could decorate their new office), and selling a home (explain how a well decorated home can attract buyers).

3. Prepare a portfolio
The most important part of an interior decorator's portfolio is photographs of interiors you have decorated, so make sure you take "before" and "after" photos of every space you decorate. Your portfolio can also include letters of recommendation and "design boards" (poster boards onto which you have pasted pictures and samples of materials such as fabrics, flooring, wallpaper, etc.) to show clients what you recommend to decorate a particular room. Even if you plan to start your own interior decorating business, you can learn about the business and meet potential clients by starting with a job in the industry. Companies that hire people with decorating talent include home builders, manufacturers of furniture and housewares, hotel and restaurant chains, retailers (furniture stores, home improvement stores, antiques dealers, housewares stores, etc.), plus interior design and decorating firms.

4. Start your own business
Many interior decorators dream of being their own boss. Free basic business advice is available from organizations such as the U.S. Small Business Administration. Suppliers are companies that supply the products and services you need to decorate. They include manufacturers of furniture, wall coverings, flooring, fabrics, etc. as well as contractors who do painting, carpentry, installation, etc. While some decorators charge an hourly rate or a flat fee, others charge "cost-plus." This opportunity to save money on decorating may convince clients to hire you.

5. Get clients
Your potential clients could include home builders, new home buyers, wealthy home owners, professional couples, advertising agencies, art galleries, bed and breakfasts, boutique stores, corporate head offices, hotels, law firms, restaurants, spas, and many other types of businesses. One way to market your services is by networking with professionals who can refer business to you, such as real estate agents, architects, antiques dealers, art dealers, home renovators, and owners of businesses that sell home furnishings. Successful interior decorators continue to learn new decorating techniques. You can also impress clients and have an advantage over your competition by becoming certified as a professional interior decorator.

B. Shape Your Moods With Architecture Interior Design
White crown molding along the baseboards of an older home shows that this home owner is a person who appreciates craftsmanship and who likes lavish things. When it comes to architecture and interior design, award-winning professional interior designer Russell Versaci says it is all about the "Eight Pillars of Design," which are: invent within the rules; respect the character of the place; tell a story over time; build for the ages; detail for authenticity; craft with natural materials; create the patina of age; and incorporate modern conveniences. To "build for the ages," high quality building materials should be used. Molding, roofing, windows and details should follow the old character of the house to "detail for authenticity."

Materials like wood, stone and pine have a vibe that synthetic materials just can't match, Versaci adds, which is what he means by "natural materials." To "create the patina of age," it's okay to leave some elements of the home old and weathered or vintage-looking; weathered bricks, salvaged mantles or antique door knobs, for instance. Lastly, the home should be outfitted with modern heating, plumbing, air conditioning, computer wiring, hidden control panels and security systems.

Award-winning interior design company Fougeron Architecture understands Russell Versaci's ideas about architecture interior design perfectly. In San Francisco, he renovated a dark warehouse office complex into a light, breezy, modern office building. To keep with the existing neighborhood, he added a glass penthouse, used high-quality building materials and built up vertically. Architecture interior design is an ever-evolving study. Bathroom design is leaning toward creating home spas with whirlpools, dual-head shower stalls, double vanities and saunas. Innovative designs for kitchens almost always add a utilitarian chef's nook or breakfast bar. The future points toward innovative designs.

It is no longer just adults that want a closet full of designer clothes but the kids want in on the action to. Often parents also feel that if they are going to wear designer clothes then their kids should be able to as well. It did not take fashion designers long to figure this all out and they have jumped on the bandwagon to cater to these children. When it comes to denim jeans designers like 7 for all Mankind, True Religion, Paige Denim, Rock & Republic, Paper Denim & Cloth, and Diesel have all designed some winning jeans for kids that are available at Nordstrom's and Life Size.

Burberry, Little Marc, Juicy Couture, Tory Burch, J Crews Crew cuts, Dolce & Gabbana, and American Apparel have all jumped right aboard catering to the very same children of the parents who have already retained the customer relationship. A very popular TV series on VH1 called the The Famous Life of Celebrity Kids showed the kids sporting around in Crib Rock Couture, after all these are the clothes that famous couples like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kids wear. If you are looking for the absolute coolest in socks, gloves, tights, flip flops, pajamas, and stuff like that the rocking place to head is to a store that carries designer brand Little Mismatched. They cater to both adults and kids but offer the funkiest in designs.

Glamajama is another hot topic for kids, babies, adults, and even pets. This line is available at Nordstrom's and Barney's and is sizzling as many of the Hollywood moms shop there too. The great things about these clothes are that they can not be found in most malls which are what makes them so unique and sought after. Less expensive designer brands such as Baby Phat, Roca Wear, Polo, and Apple Bottoms are more common designer brands that most are familiar with and are more readily available. These are designer brands that are available more so at your local malls but are still classified as designer brands.

If you were to walk through a typical American classroom you might find that exclusive designer brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Juicy Couture, True Religion and Seven for All Mankind are not the typical brands worn. It is much more likely that you would encounter such designer brands like Apple Bottoms and Nike. Many kids feel as if they have the ability to purchase these types of designer brand clothing that they will become more popular. Because of this designers have hit the kids market hard and some have even gone as far as to drop their prices so they can broaden their market.

Once the issue of middle school comes up you will find that clothes have a direct correlation with social status. You will likely find this target market draped in American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch and Aeropostale. Yet you will find the highest rankings in designer brands such as Chanel or Louis Vuitton.

Clothes that are designed by specialized people who are trained in the art of cloth designing are known as designer clothing. These clothes are usually quite expensive and are only purchased by people who can afford them, which are quite few. As a result, only the upper echelons of the society opt for designer apparel. These clothes are highly popular for people who like going to parties and functions every other day. As the market for clothes is higher for women's clothes, many designers focus their designs for women only and are basically restricted to designing clothes for them.

Men's designer clothing is also available, and there are many designers that make clothes for men. However, these designers don't actually tailor the clothes, but just plan out and make the initial design. Once the design is made, they give it for further improvement and re view it until they feel it has been perfected. After the design of the cloth goes through its last phase of checking, it is finally printed on clothes, which are then moved to the outlet or boutique which might be owned by the designer. The clothes that you see in a designer outlet or boutique are the best that the designer has made, and hence are placed directly on display to attract the highest number of customers and large attention.

Designer apparel consists of shoes and various accessories as well. There are exclusive designers who design matching shoes to go with their dresses, and these can also be purchased from the various outlets that are littered across the city. There is a fierce competition amongst designers, as they all want to be rich and famous and have a huge fan base. There are some designers who strive to make a living for them, and often fail to make ends meet. These are up coming designers whose products are not well known in the market.

Many of the upcoming designers have quite attractive designs and portfolios and it is just a matter of perspective and what you prefer if you want to buy such clothes. Further more, the prices charged by up coming designers are quite low, and not all of them set sky high prices for their clothes as they wish to make a name for themselves. Many of them also don't own their own boutiques or outlets, and only design clothes on order or when hosting their own fashion shows.

However, arranging fashion shows for up coming designers is quite a hard ordeal as not all of them are equipped enough. The power of the media comes in to play, and a designer whose clothes are exceptional in designs are quality are bound to come to attention in the media some how or the other. Fame is completely dependent upon the quality that you offer, and just depends on the designer how hard he or she tries and upon the level of their creativity. Hence, this is the basic idea behind designer apparel.
