Applied Arts Industrial Design / Product Design Industrial design is a process applied to products that are to be manufactured through techniques of mass production. Its key characteristic is that design is separated from manufacture. The creative act of determining and defining a product's form takes place in advance of the physical act of making a product, which consists purely of repeated, often automated, replication. This distinguishes industrial design from craft-based design, where the form of the product is determined by the product's creator at the time of its creation. Artists can become product designers and create new products to be sold by a business to its customers.

Applied Arts Fashion Design Haute Couture Means high sewing or high dressmaking. Made to measure in high quality, fine fabrics. Sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Usually 2-3 fittings. Fashion designers built fashion houses and empires, such as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Oscar de la Renta, Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, etc. Ready-to-Wear Ready-to-wear clothes are a cross between haute couture and mass market. They are not made for individual customers, but great care is taken in the choice and cut of the fabric. Clothes are made in small quantities to guarantee exclusivity, so they are rather expensive. Ready-to-wear collections are usually presented by fashion houses each season, spring/summer or fall/winter. Mass-Market Apparel Ready-to-wear garments using trends set by the famous names in fashion. They often wait around a season to make sure a style is going to catch on before producing their own versions of the original look. In order to save money and time, they use cheaper fabrics and simpler production techniques which can easily be done by machine. The end product can therefore be sold much more cheaply.
