I am convinced that in some cases celebrities are approached and lines are created for them to sponsor.  It seems they are the spokesperson and perhaps never have anything to do with anything other than attempt to sell it to the public.  What would you create for  someone famous to promote?

Well, based on your other thread perhaps a whiteness chart to determine when underwear should be tossed.

@bonnielu.  I'm sure you are correct.  True fashion designers study extensively at places like Person's School of Design.  It's a very complex science thst requires lots of knowledge and skills that the rest of us don't have.  I don't know how anybody can just sit down with pad and pencil and anoint him or herself a "designer".

The same is true for jewelry designers...requires many technical skills.

I do agree it takes a lot of skill and knowledge ... but I think learning by apprenticeship is a also valid path to becoming a designer.  In fact - learning in a "real world" environment might be an advantage.   Learning by doing.   For centuries - that's the way it was done.  

And, of course - talent counts for a lot.

I bet a large majority of the iconic designers of famous couture lines

don’t have a ‘proper’ design education.

If one has the ‘eye for design’ or a great sense of style...

those things can’t be taught. 

This idea extends to so many other industries...especially creative.

It’s just a piece of paper.

@ALRATIBA  Not sure if you watched any of RLM’s shows yesterday. He made a statement that he learned to MAKE the jewelry, not just draw it and turn it over to others to manufacture. I doubt if many jewelry “designers” can actually sit at a bench and fabricate a piece of jewelry they design. That takes skill.

The Q could use another line of bras, panties, nightgowns, etc..... Something more attractive and not as utilitarian as Breezies w/ the wide padded straps.

Even if no one sees your underwear except you, feeling feminine and pretty can also be done w/ an underwire.
