Chanel: The Muse Behind a Fashion and Apparel Line After surveying one fashion design trend after another, there was one designer that stood about above all others for the Elle editors. When Chanel re-introduced their tweedy, retro-classic women’s jacket, the ladies were inspired to create their own version of the design with a casual twist: terrycloth. Thus began the transition from their role as fashion editors to co-creators of an apparel line. Can Fashion Editors Create Clothing Without Fashion Design School? How do editors go from writing about fashion to actually making it? While the ladies of AKA had sketches and a vision for their line, without any previous experience or fashion design school training, they had to rely on a pattern maker to get their ideas off the ground.

But their success isn’t without limitations. Without formal training in pattern-making, sewing, or fashion merchandising, it’s difficult to evolve and expand a line in this competitive industry.
