What is a designer, or who is a designer? From a place of millennial mainstream, designers seem to be synonymous with influencers and brands. In the era of the brand, it is so vital, one can do naught without it.
By definition, according to dictionary,com, a designer is a person who plans the look or workings of something prior to it being made, by preparing drawings or plans.
From the view here on millennial block, there is a clear misunderstanding and misrepresentation of designers on social media platforms. Is a designer someone who can sew? Someone who can conceptualize ideas and things from a completely new and fresh point of view? Someone who understands the hand of a fabric and its drape on the human form? Someone with an innate sense of style and the zeitgeist of the time.
