The designs can be...

It should have its uniqueness but still be cohesive.

The answer to that question depends of many factors: some obvious like their client's needs and characteristics or their client's esthetics, but other are also important like the budget and price range of the brand.

One of the most fun projects during my studies was definitely designing a children's clothing collection. Years after that, I was able to work on that niche in "real life" a.k.a at a fashion design agency and put all what I had learned into practice. Not only did the job bring me lots of joy and fun but I kept on learning industry and manufacturing details. Soon, the products the team and I had been working on were on the stores in Germany (and around other 20 countries in Europe). For years,...
