You could always veer off the trends are wear what you like. That is how we all should be. I did that for the first time this year. Screw everyone else's opinions. I got these and love them!

I think I look damn fine in them, and that's all that matters.

Fashion design plans?

To anyone...
I plan to, in college, pursue a career in fashion design, particularily swimsuit/ lingerie. I had the idea to major in fashion design and minor in business. Does this sound like a good plan? Any hints or tips? thanks :)

At the college level, don't narrow down your field too much. While you are still learning the ropes is a bad time to focus on a niche as limited as lingerie & swimwear.
Fashion is an exceptionally competitive career. You may start out intending to concentrate on intimates, but end up designing baby clothes, or workwear uniforms, or even shoes -- because that's the only company hiring this month. Do not be naive enough to think you'll be setting up with your own label within a couple-few years. Do you know how much capital you need to do that? The closest you'll come, right out of school, is maybe to do free-lance work.
Aim high, but be fully prepared if you have to fly lower for a while -- especially (in a bad economy) a long while. How *is* Victoria's Secret doing this year, anyway? ...... :-D
Any fashion designer worth taking seriously knows how to construct clothes -- ALL KINDS of clothes. So concentrate your studies on garment construction and fit. Sure, pay special attention to fine knits and stretch knits, but get yourself well-grounded in all techniques and materials.
Develop embryonic portfolios for several fields, starting while you're still in school. Keep them current!! You may even be able to sell designs free-lance while still an undergrad. Be prepared to go wherever the jobs are. You may want to work as a staff designer with garment manufacturers for a few years -- the experience you'll gain will be invaluable. Or you may wish (or be forced to) work free-lance for a while, selling individual designs or lines of designs to manufacturers for (usually) a one-time payout -- no royalties, no practical control over what happens to those designs in future. Both career paths are hard roads, and not very lucrative until you've established a solid reputation -- which takes years.
For your purposes, you might be happier aiming for free-lance work. This at least puts you in the position of being able to take many kinds of customers, at least one of which could be that lingerie manufacturer. Just remember that there are no paid benefits for the free-lancer: you pay all your own costs, from workspace to insurance to production costs (some companies need *you* to produce your own samples for them) to travel costs to retirement fund. But this is where having a degree minor in business will be a real help to you.
Staff designers have much more security than free-lancers, and *much* better paid-benefits packages, including paid vacation time. But free-lancers have way more opportunities to make good professional contacts than staff designers. And if you *do* have hopes of launching your own label someday, you'll need all the business contacts you can collect!
Good luck!
